Ross (elbow) was able to play catch Friday, but it's still undetermined if he'll be able to start again this season since he continues to have soreness in his forearm, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Analysis:

With little time remaining in the season, the Padres may ultimately decide to sit Ross for the rest of the year so they don't risk his long-term future. Until further notice, he'll be on the shelf while the Padres cautiously make their decision.
