OAKLAND -- Prepared for the worst but hoping for the best, A's starter Andrew Triggs was relieved to land in the latter camp following his latest examination.
Triggs, who has been dealing with right arm nerve irritation for nearly two months, met with the Rangers' team physician, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Keith Meister, in Dallas on Tuesday to determine if his latest setback was cause for concern for structural damage in his right arm.
Meister, who performed Tommy John surgery on A's righty Jharel Cotton in March, came back with good news.
