Jeff Niemann (shoulder) confirmed he still hopes to return this season.
Niemann, out with an inflamed right shoulder, has resumed a throwing program. The injury didn't require surgery, but Niemann has yet to be cleared for mound work, and doesn't have a timetable for returning. He remains a longshot to contribute in the final two weeks.
