OAKLAND — If Sonny Gray gets his wish, he’ll pitch in at least one more game before the A’s finish their season.
The right-hander threw 11 pitches off the mound before Sunday’s 3-2 loss to the Mariners, his first time throwing from a mound since he was sidelined Aug. 6 by a strained right forearm.
Just three weeks, and 20 games, remain in the regular season. It seemed a long shot that Gray’s schedule would have him ready for a game by the Oct. 2 season finale. But he’s traveling with the A’s on their upcoming road trip to Kansas City and Texas, and he hopes to throw a longer bullpen session in the coming days to better gauge his readiness.
