The A’s got some news on the injury front Sunday. In contrast to the way injuries have played themselves out this season, the news was good.
Coco Crisp, who left Friday’s game early with an Achilles’ tendon problem and who got only a pinch-hit at-bat in Saturday’s 12-inning game, was back in the lineup.
So, too, was Khris Davis, who was winged in the 12th inning Saturday just above the elbow. The numbness having dissipated, he declared himself good to go.
And then there was the case of Sonny Gray, who was activated off the disabled list to make Sunday’s start against the Astros.
