The Oakland A’s are 2-3-1 so far in the Cactus League, but during the spring the team’s health is more important than its record. We took our last look around the trainer’s room on Monday, so here’s an update. The bottom line remains that none of these problems are serious, just minor bumps and bruises and a lot of completely normal early-spring caution.
The lefty was scheduled to make his spring debut on Tuesday, but he was scratched due to back tightness. Susan Slusser of the S.F. Chronicle noted at the time that this is nothing new for Manaea and is usually only a brief setback.
