Oakland's Henderson Alvarez has setback with shoulder

Oakland Athletics pitcher Henderson Alvarez felt soreness in his surgically-repaired shoulder during his most recent minor league rehab start on Sunday.

What It Means:

He left Monday's rehab game an inning earlier than expected and is being examined by team doctors. It's still unclear how big a setback this will be.

Alvarez hasn't played a significant amount since 2014, when he posted a 2.65 ERA with a 3.70 SIERA in 30 games.
