ANAHEIM – After seeing infielder Ryon Healy struggle through the first dozen games of the season, A’s manager Bob Melvin morphed into Dr. Melvin.
His prescription: A couple of days off.
The manager told both his player and the media he was just giving Healy a chance to step back, take a couple of deep breaths and get his game together.
Healy took the cure, taking a seat on the bench Monday and Tuesday with the Rangers in town. He’d been hearing all kinds of conflicting information, but he was able to dismiss most of it and just take his two-days-off medicine.
