Sonny Gray and R.J. Alvarez threw bullpen sessions for the A’s Saturday morning, and both pitchers could be ready to return to the A’s before too long.
Manager Bob Melvin said Gray, who threw upwards of three dozen pitches in his session, “was letting it go.’’ It was the most substantial work yet for Gray since going on the disabled list with a right trapezius strain.
“We’ll have him throw off the big mound here Tuesday,’’ the manager said. “It will be up and down, but not with any hitters yet. We’re just looking for health from him.
