MESA, Ariz. — Sean Manaea and Daniel Gossett, two starting pitchers yet to appear in a Cactus League game, appear set to do so this week.
After being scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday with back tightness, Manaea arrived to the clubhouse at Hohokam Stadium Wednesday feeling much better as he revealed he would bet throwing around 45 pitches in a two-inning simulated game later that day at the A’s minor league complex.
“Everything feels good right now,” Manaea said. “Just want to be more cautious and not really push anything too far right now. Especially this early in spring.
