Dustin Fowler's long road to recovery comes full circle

Almost an entire year after his MLB debut, A's outfielder Dustin Fowler hopes to finally play a full game.

He'll get that opportunity this weekend, at Yankee Stadium of all places.

Fowler, 23, made his first and only big league start on June 29 of last year in Chicago, as a member of the Yankees. But he didn't get through the first inning.

In the bottom of the first, Fowler chased a José Abreu fly ball into foul territory and collided with the wall, suffering a season-ending patellar tendon rupture in his right knee.
