What is the status of A.J. Puk? Will we see him in an A's uniform in 2019?
-- Neal O., Addison, Texas
That's the plan. Puk, who underwent Tommy John surgery in April, has made tremendous progress in his rehab. The A's No. 2 prospect according to MLB Pipeline is already throwing pitches from flat ground, per general manager David Forst, and is seemingly on track to return to game action midseason -- if not sooner. The A's, of course, won't rush the big lefty but anticipate him making his big league debut at some point this year barring any rehab setbacks.
