Athletics pitcher Sean Nolin is expected to head to Triple-A Nashville Wednesday to begin his rehab assignment this weekend after throwing a bullpen session, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Nolin, who is currently on the 15-day DL with a hernia, is scheduled to throw a bullpen session as well Wednesday and if everything goes well, he will head to Nashville. Nolin has appeared in just two games in the last two seasons, allowing seven runs in 2 1/3 innings of work.
