Oakland Athletics’ pitcher Jesus Luzardo has been cleared to return to camp.
The Oakland Athletics were dealt a serious blow earlier in the month when it was announced that promising young pitcher Jesus Luzardo had tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of the team’s July 4th report date.
Luzardo, the A’s top prospect, was expected to be featured in a prominent role this season after making an impressive debut in 2019. However, his positive test obviously put things on hold.
But after isolating himself for two weeks, Luzardo has officially been cleared to return and join his team for training camp at the Coliseum.
