The Oakland Athletics’ 2016 season is not off to a good start. With already shallow starting rotation depth, two of the A’s pitchers will not be able to make their starts this week. Opening Day starter Sonny Gray was scratched from Monday night’s start while Felix Doubront was placed on the disabled list.
Gray will not pitch on Monday night due to food poisoning. Gray is no stranger to this type of illness, having been hospitalized for salmonella back in the summer of 2015. Last year, his food poisoning caused him to miss an entire week, so let’s hope that this bout will not last as long.
