Assuming you consider any injury news that doesn’t involve the A’s putting someone on the disabled list to be good news, then the A’s had a very good day on the injury front Wednesday.
The activated second baseman Jed Lowrie from the disabled list and said that catcher Josh Phegley would be able to come off the DL on Friday.
Henderson Alvarez, he of the sore shoulder, seems to be past the bulk of the soreness and has begun to throw. He threw up to 75 feet Tuesday and 90 feet Wednesday. The progression will get him to 105 feet, then 120, after which it will be time to get him back on a mound and back on track to rejoining the A’s rotation, probably in mid-June or a little later.
