Still nothing definitive on the shoulder of Athletics' Henderson Alvarez
Oakland Athletics pitcher Henderson Alvarez had an MRI taken on his troublesome shoulder, but it came back inconclusive.
What It Means:
The results are being sent to Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion. Alvarez was shut down this week after experiencing soreness in his surgically-repaired right shoulder coming out of a decent five-inning minor league rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Nashville. It was supposed to be his final rehab outing before joining the Athletics.
Alvarez hasn't seen significant innings since 2014, when he posted 3.70 SIERA (2.65 ERA) with a meager 14.3 percent strikeout rate in 30 games.
