It’s been two years since Oakland Athletics’ starter Jarrod Parker last pitched in the big leagues, and it seems as if his return to the O.Co Coliseum will be delayed even further.
On Thursday, Parker came off the field in pain after suffering a lateral elbow impingement while facing live batters for the first time. He only threw 12 pitches before he was forced to leave the field. The A’s athletic trainers are optimistic, but are still awaiting the results of an MRI.
A’s medical staff confident about Parker@in part because the injury is on opposite (outside) side of the elbow that caused all the concern.
