Athletics' Luis Medina: Sharp in rehab outing

Medina (blister) struck out seven and gave up one earned run on four hits and one walk over 3.1 innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Medina missed the previous two weeks of action with a blister on his right index finger but didn't seem to be affected in Wednesday's outing. The Athletics haven't yet committed to Medina returning from the 15-day injured list next week, but he looks as though he could be ready to go without requiring any additional rehab outings beforehand.
