What’s Stephen Piscotty been up to lately? Oh, just running in straight lines for the last few days.
One of the final steps in recovery from a knee sprain is turning and cutting while running. Piscotty plans to try that Wednesday.
If all goes well, Piscotty is aiming to start his rehab assignment in a week. Manager Bob Melvin said Piscotty could join the team in Houston next week and head out on assignment from there.
“I’m trying to stay out of there, they’re rolling!” Piscotty joked.
The A’s have gone 7-2 since Piscotty sprained his right knee sliding into second base June 30 in Anaheim.
