In what surely shall be a battle for the ages, the two remaining undefeated Cactus League teams are having a showdown at noon today. Ideally looking to make his MLB debut at some point late in 2018, A.J. Puk will be making the short start on the mound today for the A’s.
Also listed in the bullpen on the A’s lineup card are Eric Joksich, Ryan Butcher, Jeremy Bleich, Liam Hendriks, Bobby Wahl, Lou Trivino, and Trevor Blackwood.
The A’s lineup for today’s game is as follows:
Dustin Fowler is returning to (friendly) big league fields following his horrific season-ending injury with the Yankees last season, and is appearing in center field, where he has a chance of winning the starting job.
