This the lastest I could find:
-Righty Chad Gaudin isn’t a sure thing to return in the regular season. Gaudin hasn’t pitched since Aug. 29 because of lower back soreness, but pitching coach Larry Rothschild said Gaudin is making progress at the team’s Arizona facility. Rothschild said Gaudin played long-toss Sunday and that he’ll pitch a side session Monday.
