Joe Wieland (elbow) is expected to play catch from the top of a mound next Monday in Padres camp.

The right-hander has not stepped atop a mound since having Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery last July. "It's not going to be a bullpen and it's playing catch from 45 feet," Wieland said Tuesday. "It's not going to be that big of a deal; but at the same time it is." He should be game-ready shortly after the All-Star break.

Joe Wieland needs season-ending Tommy John surgery.

Wieland has been sidelined since early May with an elbow issue and recently had a setback that necessitated another MRI, which revealed the need for the Tommy John procedure. The 22-year-old right-hander will aim to return for the second half next season but shouldn't realistically be counted on for production at the big league level until 2014.
