OAKLAND, Calif. — Brett Gardner was out of the lineup for a second straight game Wednesday night because of an in-grown toenail on his right big toe.
“Better,’’ Gardner said. “I took a full BP on the field.”
Gardner had the toenail removed after Sunday’s game.
“He was pretty sore [Tuesday]. He should be good to go [Wednesday] today,’’ said Aaron Boone, who started Mike Tauchman for a second straight game.
“I had it in spring training, but we weren’t playing games,’’ Gardner said of the issue.
According to Boone, Dellin Betances’ bullpen session in Tampa was encouraging.
