Athletics' Daniel Mengden: To throw live batting practice Saturday
Mengden (foot) will throw live batting practice at extended spring training Saturday, John Hickey of the Bay Area News Group reports.
Analysis:
Mengden's throwing sessions have gone well, and this will be the next step on the road back from foot surgery. Mengden will likely require a minor-league rehab stint before he can return to the majors, but a return in the first half of May is looking possible.
