A’s injuries: James Kaprielian will return Sunday

Good news on the injury front!

Pitcher James Kaprielian will start for the Oakland A’s on Sunday, at home against the Cleveland Guardians, reports Matt Kawahara of the S.F. Chronicle.

This will be Kaprielian’s 2022 season debut. The right-hander missed spring training due to irritation in his shoulder (AC joint), and that delay caused him to begin the year on the 10-day injured list. He since made three rehab outings in the minors, one at Low-A Stockton and two at Triple-A Las Vegas, and now he’s ready to return to the majors.
