The Oakland A’s starting rotation got some good news Sunday.
The A’s activated James Kaprielian from the 10-day injured list, the team announced this morning. He will start this afternoon against the Texas Rangers.
To make room on the roster, fellow rookie starter Daulton Jefferies was optioned down to Triple-A.
We last saw Kaprielian on July 27, and the next day he felt something in his shoulder. It wasn’t considered serious at the time but he was placed on the IL as a precaution, and indeed he’s back after more or less a minimum stint on the shelf — he was out for less than two weeks and only missed one start, with Jefferies filling in and earning his first MLB win.
