Will A’s Lowrie’s be healthy enough to play in All-Star Game?

SAN FRANCISCO — After an outfield collision that left even Jed Lowrie concerned, the A’s second baseman woke up Saturday feeling better — and relieved.

Lowrie remains on track for the All-Star Game on Tuesday in Washington D.C. In fact, he could start the first-half finale Sunday against the Giants.

“I feel good, all things considered,” Lowrie said. “When I woke up this morning, I was worried that there was going to be more swelling. And that didn’t happen. I think that’s a good sign.”

Lowrie and right fielder Stephen Piscotty crashed into each other Friday night while chasing a pop-up hit by Alen Hanson.
