Bobby Wahl was a highly touted relief prospect who finally made it up to Oakland last year only to have his season cut short by an arm injury that proved difficult to diagnose.

A cortisone shot worked only briefly, and Wahl’s rehab had several setbacks before he was finally diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome and had surgery to resolve the problem, which occurs when arteries or nerves are compressed in the area from the neck to the armpit.
