The Oakland A’s have a roster decision coming in the next 24 hours. Pitcher Frankie Montas is still on the COVID-19 related injured list, after being delayed this spring by a positive coronavirus test. But he’s healthy and cleared and back in camp, and he’s scheduled to pitch on Sunday in a Cactus League game.
Before Montas can play, he must be activated from the IL, and in this case that also means being added back to the 40-man roster. There are already 40 players on that roster, so, according to math, someone else will need to be removed to make room.
