Athletics | Brett Anderson clears major hurdle

Oakland Athletics SP Brett Anderson (elbow) faced live hitters Friday, July 6, for the first time since being temporarily shut down May 19. "He threw 25 pitches, all of his pitches. Breaking balls, the whole bit," manager Bob Melvin said. "He'll throw a bullpen here on Sunday and then the next step is to go to Arizona and do two innings."
