Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jose Fernandez could be activated from the disabled list sometime next week after recovering from a biceps injury, according to the Miami Herald. Fernandez has not pitched since he was diagnosed with a strained biceps on Aug. 8, but he will throw a bullpen session Thursday and could return shortly after. The team has still not decided what the next step would be for their young ace, but a simulated game and a minor league rehab start are both options. "There's a case with him we could run him to Jupiter and get him in [a minor league game]," Marlins manager Dan Jennings said. "But he may accomplish the same thing in a sim game. Just depends on when he's ready to amp it that way. But he feels great right now, real good." Fernandez is on track to return sometime in early September.
