Gunnar Hoglund: Breaking News

Given cortisone injection

Hoglund (knee/back) was a cortisone injection in his left hip on May 1, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Hoglund has been out all season with knee and back injuries, though the injection for his hip could be related to his back issue. He had begun a throwing progression in late April, but it seems a setback led to the cortisone injection. There is no timetable for Hoglund's return.

Starts throwing progression

Hoglund (knee/back) has begun a throwing progression, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Hoglund missed all of spring training and the start of the season due to a right knee sprain and a back injury. He's starting his throwing program from scratch, so it's going to take the right-hander a long time before he's cleared to pitch in games.

Receives PRP injection

Hoglund received a PRP injection for his back this past Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Hoglund sustained both a right knee sprain and a lumbar spine strain during spring training, but it is the latter injury that has caused the most issues for the 26-year-old right-hander. He was transferred to the 60-day IL on April 7, and while the PRP injection should help with his recovery, the Athletics have not provided a clear timeline for Hoglund's return.
