Athletics' Paul Blackburn: Yet to resume throwing

Blackburn (elbow) has yet to resume throwing after being shut down in early July, Eric He of MLB.com reports.

Blackburn has already been confirmed to have no structural damage, but that apparently hasn't made his recovery any quicker. The reliever will likely need a relatively lengthy rehab assignment whenever he's healthy enough to embark on one, a timeline that remains very murky at this point.
