MESA, Ariz. -- The best athlete in Oakland's organization will soon be unveiled in green and gold.
Speedster Jorge Mateo, who was slowed in the early going of camp by a lingering left knee injury, is scheduled to make his highly anticipated Cactus League debut against the Rangers at Hohokam Stadium on Tuesday.
"More relief for the trainer," A's manager Bob Melvin said, "because I'm on him every day about getting him into games."
This will be Melvin's first look at Mateo in game action.
