There are only 18 games left in the Oakland A’s season, but there are still a couple of pitchers racing against the clock to return from the disabled list. One of them looks like he’ll do just that.
The news is good for Brett Anderson, who has been on the DL for nearly two weeks with nerve irritation in his arm. The lefty threw a simulated game on Saturday and it went well, reports Susan Slusser of the S.F. Chronicle. He’ll start on Thursday in Baltimore, reports Ben Ross of NBCS.
Unfortunately, the news is bad for Andrew Triggs.
