OAKLAND — The A’s had little success breaking through against Jake Arrieta on Saturday, but their biggest concern coming out of a 4-0 loss to the Cubs is an injury that knocked Sonny Gray from the game.
Gray left after five innings with what was announced as right extensor muscle soreness. There are extensor muscles located all over the body, including the forearm, and the A’s didn’t specify with their in-game announcement where the injury was centered. More details were expected to come from manager Bob Melvin in his postgame media briefing.
TV replays showed Gray grimacing and biting his glove after a fifth-inning strikeout of Dexter Fowler, though there wasn’t any indication of what was bothering him.
