The Oakland A’s got some encouraging news on the injury front this weekend, even as the team was forced to take an indefinite hiatus due to a positive coronavirus test.
On Saturday, with the A’s playing a doubleheader against the Houston Astros, shortstop Marcus Semien was scratched from the starting lineup before the second game due to soreness in his left side. He underwent an MRI later that day.
Fortunately, the MRI “revealed no serious issue” and shouldn’t keep him out long, reported Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic on Sunday.
