Mason Miller, James Kaprielian To Throw Saturday
1 year agoOakland Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said that right-handers Mason Miller (elbow) and James Kaprielian (shoulder) will both throw off flat ground on Saturday. Miller, a 24-year-old rookie, is trying to return from a sprained UCL that put him on the injured list in May. Before the injury, he had impressed in his first four big-league starts, allowing eight earned runs on 14 hits while walking seven and striking out 22 in 21 1/3 innings. He will be a rotation option for the A's and fantasy managers in the second half. Kaprielian is dealing with a right-shoulder strain and received a cortisone injection earlier this month. There is no timetable for either pitcher's return to Oakland. Kaprielian has a rough 6.34 ERA (5.10 FIP), 1.59 WHIP, 31 walks and 57 K's in 14 outings (11 starts) over 61 innings in 2023.
