Rays' Chris Archer: Pitching in FCL on Thursday

Archer (forearm/hip) will throw either three innings or 50 pitches Thursday in the Florida Complex League, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

The veteran righty is making nice progress in his latest rehab assignment after hip soreness sidelined him Aug. 2. Archer has not pitched in the big leagues since April 10 and he appears to be a couple weeks from rejoining the Rays.
