Semien has cast taken off, eager to return

OAKLAND -- Rehabbing A's shortstop Marcus Semien jet setted to Los Angeles and back Friday, returning without a cast on his surgically repaired right wrist.

Semien, who underwent a procedure to repair a fracture of the scaphoid bone April 18, was pleased to learn his CT scans showed immense healing. Cast-free, he'll ease into the next steps as he eventually readies for advanced baseball activity.

"Get the pain and the stiffness out. It hasn't moved for a month," Semien said. "I never had surgery. This is all new to me. My goal is to be back as soon as I'm allowed to play.
