Joey Lucchesi is hasn't progressed beyond playing catch out to 75 feet and could require additional time on the disabled list as he recovers from a hip strain, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports. (Dennis Lin on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Padres manager Andy Green said he was hopeful the recovery can progress faster, "but him playing catch to 75 feet doesn't give me a lot of optimism that he's coming back in the next week." At this point, it sounds like Lucchesi is going to be out at least another week, if not a bit longer. Look for an update on his status this week to see if he is able to progress to the next stage of his recovery process.
