Could return before end of season Manager Bob Melvin said Friday that the team has not ruled out the possibility of Fiers (elbow) pitching again this season, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Fiers has been out with a sprained right elbow since early May, but the veteran right-hander has been able to go setback free since ramping up his throwing program in recent weeks. Per Kawahara, he will throw a flat ground session Saturday for the first time since suffering the injury. While Melvin noted that the club still does not have a target date for Fiers to throw off a mound, it sounds like there is still hope for him to pitch again in the majors this season. Given the obvious time constraints, it seems like Fiers would have a stronger chance to return as a reliever, though Oakland could opt to try and stretch him out for starter innings following Chris Bassitt's (face) recent move to the injured list.

Pushes up throwing distance Fiers (elbow) has progressed to throwing out to 90 feet, the Associated Press reports.
Impact The veteran right-hander continues to make fairly deliberate but consistent progress in his attempted return from his elbow sprain. However, he still has no firm timetable for throwing off a mound, and Fiers could well be running out of time for a regular-season return.

Throwing from 60 feet Fiers (elbow) has thrown from 60 feet out on three occasions since receiving a platelet-rich injection in June, the Athletics' official site reports.
Impact Fiers was still experiencing problems throwing shortly after receiving the PRP injection, but he's bounced back over the last several weeks. However, the veteran right-hander remains without a timetable for return after last taking the mound May 7, and given the length of his absence, he would undoubtedly need a robust rehab assignment before being deemed ready for activation.
