ARLINGTON -- Angels pitcher Garrett Richards isn't returning yet, but he's getting closer.
Richards, who has been on the 60-day disabled list since April 22 with a right biceps strain he suffered in his only start this year against the Athletics on April 5, received an electromyogram on Friday.
The test showed "improvement in the musculocutaneous nerve." The Angels said he will continue his strengthening and rehab program and will be continually re-evaluated each week to monitor progression. The Angels also said Richards has not been cleared to begin throwing.
