Dustin Fowler did not have your average major league debut when he arrived in June this year. Instead, Fowler found himself carted off the field after he ruptured the patellar tendon in his right knee while playing defense.
Fowler was acquired last month by the A’s in the trade that sent Sonny Gray to the Yankees. Billy Beane‘s risky trade should pay off big time if Fowler’s healthy next season.
The A’s expect Fowler to be ready in time for spring training next year, if all goes well with his recovery.
