OAKLAND -- Food poisoning prevented A's ace Sonny Gray from making his third consecutive Opening Day start on Monday, but the right-hander could make his season debut as soon as Tuesday, manager Bob Melvin said.
"Obviously if he's not pitching, it was fairly severe," Melvin said. "I talked to him and, like you would expect, he wanted to do everything he could to pitch, but it just doesn't make any sense to do that. He lost a lot of fluids last night and even into early this morning, so the prudent thing to do is to not pitch him today and hopefully he'll be ready to pitch tomorrow.
