The A’s Jarrod Parker has suffered a fracture of the right medial epicondyle, one of the anchors in the arm of a Tommy John surgery, and he is being sent home pending some appointment with doctors.
Parker, hurt throwing a pitch in the sixth inning Friday for Nashville on an injury rehabilitation assignment, was checked out by Vanderbilt’s Dr. David Liddle Saturday. Parker’s arm was both X-rayed and subjected to a CT-scan.
“We don’t know how much this is going to set back his recovery at this point in time,’’ A’s trainer Nick Paparesta said after the A’s 7-2 loss to Seattle.
