OAKLAND -- Henderson Alvarez's debut with the A's has been pushed back after he was pulled from his latest Minor League rehab start with soreness in his right shoulder.
One day after Alvarez threw 75 pitches over five innings for Triple-A Nashville, A's manager Bob Melvin said that the 26-year-old was scheduled to be examined by team doctors to determine what, if anything, is wrong.
"He feels a little better than he did yesterday so we'll probably know more after the doctors take a look at him, whether or not to get an MRI or something like that," Melvin said Monday prior to Oakland's game against Rangers.
