MESA, Ariz. — The topic of conversation, at last, can go back to baseball for A’s outfielder Andrew Lambo.
He is back in Oakland’s major league spring camp, trying to turn heads as a non-roster player after already winning a much bigger battle.
Seven months after being diagnosed with testicular cancer, Lambo got clearance to resume full baseball activity in December. He underwent surgery to remove a tumor last June and was declared cancer-free a few months later.
One lingering concern, a lymph node in his stomach that was found to be slightly larger than normal, was put to rest after a scan found his lymph nodes all over his body are just a bit bigger than normal, which is the case with some people.
