The injury bug has hit James Kaprielian yet again.
A's manager Bob Melvin told reporters Sunday that the long-hyped pitching prospect experienced shoulder discomfort in a bullpen session on Friday. The right-hander will be behind schedule in spring training when pitchers and catchers report on Monday.
"It looked like he was throwing good before that, but just a little something came up, so I think we're going to have him get an MRI," Melvin said. "So he'll probably be a little bit behind. It looked like he was going to be a full-go and then the last bullpen he felt that.
