BOSTON — Bruce Maxwell’s legal issues will not allow him to travel with the A’s to Canada.
Still yet to be sentenced for an incident last October in which he was arrested for allegedly pulling a gun on a food delivery driver, Maxwell is barred from traveling to Canada under the country’s immigration guidelines.
Maxwell will be placed on MLB’s restricted list, which can be used for players who are unavailable to play due to personal or legal issues, during the team’s four game series against the Blue Jays. Josh Phegley will be called up from Triple-A Nashville to join the A’s in Toronto and take Maxwell’s place on the roster during the series.
