SEATTLE — The Oakland A’s rotation has taken blow after blow through the first half of 2019. But with the All-Star break on the horizon, there was finally a bit of good news.
On Monday, Oakland ace Sean Manaea will make his first rehab start since undergoing offseason shoulder surgery.
Manager Bob Melvin said Manaea is slated to pitch three innings for Class A Stockton and progress from there.
“Obviously it’ll be incremental each time,” Melvin said. “We have to get him to a point where he’s comfortable, but it’ll be a nice shot in the arm to get him back.
