Good morning A’s Nation, happy Sunday!
I write this news expecting it to be recieved overwhelmingly positively so I guess I’ll say it’s good news. I don’t know, still feels wrong.
After A’s infielder Aledmys Diaz suffered a strained groin last Wednesday in Spring Training, head coach Mark Kotsay announced Friday that the injury will keep Diaz sidelined “2-to-3 weeks,” putting his Opening Day Status in jeopardy.
Diaz, the A’s highest-paid player heading into the second year of a 2-year/$16 million deal, arrived at Spring Training expected to compete for the starting third baseman role with names like Darrell Hernaiz and Jordan Diaz.
