"I think I got a little antsy," Dozier. "That's just the way it is. I couldn't control that. I was just trying to stay ready every day for the time it would come."
In Monday's 16-3 loss to the A's, Dozier, primarily a third baseman in the Minors, trotted out to right field in the seventh inning, where he has played sparingly at Triple-A Omaha this season.
"It was an unreal experience," Dozier said. "It's been awhile since I played a game. But it was incredible. I'm kind of speechless."
