Orel Hershiser threw 60 pitches in a four-inning simulated game at Dodger Stadium yesterday and continued to make progress from last year's shoulder surgery.
He won't throw again for another four or five days, which would probably put his next simulated game in Philadelphia on the Dodgers' next road trip. When they get there, they will decide whether Hershiser will skip the simulated game and go to Vero Beach, Fla., for a minor-league assignment.
