MESA, Ariz. – On the first day that A’s pitchers faced off with Oakland hitters Monday, Felix Doubront sat things out.
Doubront, who had hoped to be in the A’s starting rotation last year, will pitch again against hitters at some point, but probably not until April or so as he continues his recovery from Tommy John surgery.
“It can be a little frustrating. You can’t even go one day at a time,” Doubront said. “You go one bullpen at a time, then the next one. I know at some point I’ll feel 100 percent again, and when I am, I’ll be back out there.
