Plan for Ramping Back Up to Throwing after Time Off?

I'm interested in your thoughts, ideas and links please in terms of getting back into throwing a Baseball after time off....

We had my 2021 position player take time off from throwing. No injury issues, just wanted him to have two consecutive months away from throwing, to rest his arm. He doesn't pitch or play catcher. Plays multiple positions, outfield & infield.

How would you go about getting a player back into throwing? How many times a week? How much throwing per day? How long before he gets back to long toss? How much time before he's ready to throw in a team practice etc?

thanks in advance!

Alan Jaeger and Driveline both have ramp up programs worth investing in.

The main things are to start easy and gradually increase intensity. Connective tissue (ligament, tendon) does not like sudden increases in intensity, and swelling (tendonitis) can really screw up a season.
