Pepiot (hip) will throw a bullpen session Friday, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pepiot is working his way back from right hip inflammation. The right-hander is eligible for activation from the 15-day injured list Monday at home against the Cubs, and it seems he has a shot to skip a rehab assignment and return on that date. More information on Pepiot's status could be available over the weekend.
