OAKLAND – A’s shortstop Marcus Semien will head out to join Class-A Stockton Friday to begin an injury rehabilitation assignment that could have him back on the field before the All-Star break.
The A’s can’t be sure how much time Semien will need to get back in game-ready shape. He hasn’t played a game since April 14 after suffering a fractured right wrist and undergoing surgery.
“It’s going to look maybe a little like spring training,” manager Bob Melvin said of Semien’s comeback timetable. “It’s not going to be one or two games or even three or four.
