The Oakland A’s rotation could get back one of its members soon.
Pitcher Cole Irvin is set to make a minor league rehab start tonight (Tuesday) at Low-A Stockton.
The left-hander is on the 15-day injured list retroactive to May 2 with shoulder tendinitis. At the end of today he will have satisfied his minimum required stint on the IL, so he’ll be eligible to return whenever the team thinks he’s ready.
Irvin threw a flat-ground session last Wednesday, reported Matt Kawahara of the S.F. Chronicle, and he moved up to a bullpen session on Friday, per insider Martin Gallegos.
