Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!
Yesterday, former A’s manager Bob Melvin announced that he is undergoing prostate surgery today, per the Associated Press. He has apparently been bothered by various symptoms over the past week. Little has been disclosed with respect to the specific indications for surgery. Melvin stated that he doesn’t think he has cancer, but that won’t be known for sure until “they get in there.”
Encouragingly, Bob sounds confident that he’ll be back on the job soon, possibly by the time the Padres-Giants series in San Francisco begins on May 20.
