A's minor league coach with coronavirus breathing without ventilator

An A's minor league coach's battle with the coronavirus took a positive turn.

Webster Garrison now is breathing without a ventilator after needing one for more than three weeks, Nikki Trudeaux -- his fiancee -- tweeted Thursday.

"[He] is now breathing on his own [100 percent] and his oxygen saturation level is at 100 percent," Trudeaux wrote.

The San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser reported on March 28 that Garrison tested positive for the coronavirus, and the A's announced the same day that a minor league staff member -- who they did not name -- had been hospitalized after a positive test.
