Third baseman Ryon Healy said the back spasms that have sidelined him Monday have subsided, and manager Bob Melvin said it’s possible Healy will be available off the bench during the A’s game against the White Sox on Tuesday.
Healy hit in the batting cage Tuesday morning. “We’re getting there,” he said.
Healy left Sunday’s game in the second inning with upper back spasms. He said he’s never had the issue before and isn’t sure what triggered them.
Other A’s injury updates Tuesday:
*Outfielder Jake Smolinski, who had shoulder surgery in March, is doing sock throws and said he’s scheduled to begin throwing a baseball after the All-Star break.
