McMillon (forearm) resumed throwing off the mound on Friday, MLB.com reports.
McMillon is progressing well from his right forearm strain and could be ready for a rehab assignment later this month. However, the Royals want to be cautious with their talented young relief arm, so it sounds like they're unlikely to activate him before the end of the season. McMillon has been out since late August.

Royals' John McMillon: Placed on 15-day IL
Rotowire
Kansas City placed McMillon on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right forearm strain.
The 25-year-old has posted a 2.25 ERA with eight strikeouts in four major-league innings (four appearances) since getting the call Aug. 16 from Double-A Northwest Arkansas, but he'll be sidelined for at least the next couple of weeks. Taylor Clarke (personal) is returning to the Royals' bullpen in a corresponding move.
