Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:36:11 GMT

OAKLAND – Right-hander Mason Miller’s return to the Oakland A’s following a four-month rehab process appears imminent, although it remains unclear as to when he’ll come off of the injured list and pitch in a big-league game again.Miller threw three perfect innings for Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday as he struck out four and didn’t allow a walk in another strong minor league outing. A’s manager Mark Kotsay said Miller, “felt great coming out of the game. So, we’ll probably bring him back here and evaluate him and determine where he makes his next start.”Miller made his MLB debut for the A’s on April 19 and went 0-2 with a 3.38 ERA in four games before he came down with tightness in his right forearm in May. It was determined he had a sprain in his right ulnar collateral ligament, a diagnosis that allowed him to avoid surgery and potentially rejoin the big-league roster before the end of the regular season.Miller, who was transferred to the 60-day IL on June 30, made his first rehab s...

Angels catcher Max Stassi will miss the entire season because of a family medical issue

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:36:11 GMT

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Angels catcher Max Stassi has announced he will miss the entire 2023 season because of a serious family medical issue.The Angels placed Stassi on the restricted list Sunday after he informed them of his decision. Stassi left the team during spring training to deal with the family medical issue and to recover from a hip injury.Stassi told the team he is capable of returning to baseball activities now, but he is choosing not to do so. Putting Stassi on the restricted list means he won’t be paid the remainder of his $7 million salary for this season, a move that likely allows the Angels to get their payroll below the luxury tax threshold.“Out of respect for Max and his family, the Angels will not have any further comment,” the team said in a statement. “The Angels wish Max and his family all the best.”The Angels exceeded the luxury tax threshold with a flurry of moves near the trade deadline in an attempt to stay in playoff contention despite ex...
