Brentwood’s Paul Blackburn will be back on a mound Sunday for the first time since being shut down during spring training.

Blackburn, who was projected to be in the A’s rotation to open the season, has been out since March 20 with a right forearm strain.

Friday, Blackburn threw his second flat-ground session, all fastballs, and he said he’ll throw all fastballs Sunday. He’s likely to throw live batting practice late next week.
