A’s wallop Angels 21-3, another big day for Stephen Piscotty

Sean Manaea’s surgery “best-case scenario;” he might return to A’s next year
Sean Manaea’s shoulder surgery Tuesday was “best-case scenario,” renowned orthopedist Dr. Neal ElAttrache told the A’s, and manager Bob Melvin said the left-hander might be able to pitch again sometime next year. The A’s feared that Manaea, who threw a no-hitter against Boston on April 21, would be lost for all of next year, but the repairs needed were less extensive than often is the case with shoulder surgeries. “There is some hope that next year has some potential,” A’s manager Bob Melvin said of the possibility of Manaea’s return in 2019. “The surgery went well enough...

A’s Cahill sees improvement; upcoming rotation in place
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The A’s rotation “has a lot of moving parts here,” as manager Bob Melvin said Sunday, but Trevor Cahill might rejoin the group this week, helping to simplify things a bit. Melvin said that Cahill, who received a trigger-point injection for rhomboid (back) tightness last week, played catch Sunday and felt good. Cahill will throw off the mound Tuesday to see if he still feels the issue while extending in his delivery; if all goes well, he is likely to start during the series against Minnesota. The rotation for the series against the Angels includes a...

A’s Trevor Cahill gets trigger-point injection for back soreness
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Trevor Cahill received a trigger-point injection for discomfort in his upper back and the right-hander will miss at least his next start, according to A’s manager Bob Melvin. “Hopefully that alleviates the issue,” Melvin said. “We’ll see how he responds.” Cahill has tightness in the rhomboid muscle behind his right arm, and he will not throw for a few days, which means he will not get a chance to start twice on the next homestand. Cahill has a 1.49 ERA at home and a 7.02 ERA on the road. This is the third injury to sideline Cahill this season; he also...
