Athletics' Liam Hendriks: Plans to throw bullpen session Monday

Hendriks (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Monday, John Hickey of Bay Area News Group reports.

Analysis:

Hendriks has been playing catch in recent weeks as he returns from an elbow injury and is now ready to throw off a mound. If all goes well in his bullpen session, he'll likely pitch in batting practice or a simulated game and then prepare for a rehab assignment. Barring any setbacks, the 27-year-old is still aiming for a return to Oakland's bullpen sometime in mid-June.
