OAKLAND -- A's catcher Josh Phegley has been released from the hospital after receiving treatment for synovitis in his right knee, but he is not expected to play again this season, manager Bob Melvin said Saturday.
Phegley has been out of the hospital for several days, having been administered IV antibiotics to treat the synovitis, an inflammatory disease within the membrane that lines the knee joint.
The catcher, who underwent surgery July 5 to remove a cruciate ligament cyst from the same knee, was on the verge of beginning a Minor League rehab assignment before he was sidelined by the infection.
