The Oakland A’s injured list has dwindled in recent weeks as several players have returned to health, but there are still a couple of notable pitchers out of action. Two of them got updates this week, but they’re headed in opposite directions.
The news for reliever Trevor Rosenthal is good. The intended closer hasn’t pitched this season due to thoracic outlet surgery, but he “began some baseball activities [Tuesday] and could start a throwing program in the next few days,” reports Matt Kawahara of the S.F. Chronicle citing the team’s trainer.
However, the latest word isn’t as cheery for Mike Fiers.
