ARLINGTON -- Sonny Gray's recovery from a lat strain continues to move along nicely. The A's right-hander threw a 35-pitch bullpen session in Texas with no issues Friday afternoon.
Mark Canha, who stood in for the final 10 pitches, confirmed as much and commented on how hard Gray was throwing. The pitcher called it "another good step."
"Everything felt really good again," Gray said, "so it was another good, productive day for me."
It was Gray's second bullpen session since being shut down more than a month ago. It hasn't yet been decided if he'll need another before advancing to facing hitters.
