John Jaso could be activated September 8 against the White Sox
Left-handed batting catcher John Jaso last played on August 23 before joining the disabled list with concussion symptoms.
Jaso will take BP and do catching drills today. Will talk to Dr. Collins and local docs today about potential clearance.
— Aaron Leibowitz (@aaron_leib) September 7, 2014
Melvin says Jaso could be activated as soon as tomorrow. Will likely be limited to pinch-hitting duties to start.

Jaso probably just pinch-hitter when active with Dunn at DH. Still needs clearance to start catching.

Good sign for Doolittle: plays catch today, throws bullpen tomorrow. #athletics

Nick Punto on trip to Chicago
Switch-hitting infielder Nick Punto has not played since August 2, when he strained his right hamstring rounding third.
Punto still not running at 100 percent. Until he can do that, he'll continue rehabbing.

W/no minor league rehab assignments available, Melvin says #Athletics can use simulated games to get Jaso, Punto ready w/at-bats. #Athletics
