The Oakland A’s have somebody coming off the injured list soon, and they’ve already begun preparing for his return.
The A’s optioned pitcher Zach Logue to Triple-A Las Vegas, the team announced Wednesday morning. To take his place on the active roster, infielder Nick Allen was called up.
Logue was in the rotation filling the spot of Cole Irvin, who is on the 15-day IL due to shoulder tendinitis. But Irvin is on the way back, as he made a rehab start in the minors last night, tossing five strong innings.
