Matt Joyce’s sore elbow interrupts A’s outfield plans
MESA, Ariz. — Matt Joyce is moving from right field to left field this season, but he hasn’t been seen much with a glove.
A sore right elbow is limiting Joyce, who hasn’t appeared defensively in a game since March 1 and, according to manager Bob Melvin, isn’t expected to play the field for another week.
“We still feel like he’ll be ready to start the season,” said Melvin, looking to the March 29 opener.
Joyce missed half the 2010 season with a right elbow strain that developed in spring training — “I had a little tear in there” — and said that he feels soreness off and on and that throwing ignited his latest episode.
