ANAHEIM — Josh Phegley will come off the DL on Friday at Seattle, as anticipated, and the A’s catcher says he feels great after a lengthy rehab assignment.
“It made sense, I’m not going to argue that point at all,:” Phegley said of spending two weeks with Triple-A Nashville. “I’m just happy to be back. I’m not going to complain about getting extra at-bats, I feel really good coming back into this. I’d much rather have this happen than rush it.”
Phegley hit .310 with a homer and four RBIs in eight games and caught four nine-inning games over in a six-day span, a good test for the left oblique he strained July 24.
