OAKLAND – The A’s never-ending series of bad news on injuries from 2016 seems to have carried over into April of 2017 with the news that Marcus Semien will have surgery on his right wrist Tuesday, putting the shortstop out of action probably until June.
The A’s put Semien on the disabled list Sunday, then came back Monday with the news that opening day starting pitcher Kendall Graveman was heading to the disabled list with right shoulder stiffness.
Graveman, manager Bob Melvin and GM David Forst are among those who believe the right-handed starter will miss just one start.
