The Oakland A’s are off to an unexpectedly nice start this season, and some help could still be on the way from the injured list.
Pitcher James Kaprielian, who missed the spring and the beginning of the season due to shoulder irritation, made his first minor league rehab start on Friday. The right-hander threw five innings for the Low-A Stockton Ports, against the Modesto Nuts of the Mariners farm system.
- Kaprielian, Friday: 5 ip, 2 runs, 6 Ks, 0 BB, 2 HR, 3 hits, 52 pitches
The final box score isn’t necessarily the important part, though it’s nice to see some quality numbers there.
