Oakland A’s spring injury updates: Paul Blackburn, A.J. Puk, Ryan Dull

The team shut down its best prospect on Wednesday due to biceps tightness, reports Susan Slusser of the S.F. Chronicle. The lefty starter topped our Community Prospect List this winter and had impressed during spring training, though he was already out of the running to make the MLB team out of camp.
