A’s injury updates: Alonso, Graveman, Hahn
NEW YORK - Yonder Alonso is taking batting practice Saturday morning at Yankee Stadium and he said beforehand that he expects to be available to come off the bench.
Alonso hasn’t played since leaving Tuesday’s game after taking a pitch off his right wrist; the first baseman has a major-league high nine homers in May.
Graveman was scratched from Friday’s start with right shoulder soreness, an issue that landed him on the DL from April 15-26,.
Melvin said Friday that considering the injury has cropped up for a second time, Graveman is likely to be out even longer this time, leaving little doubt that the right-hander will go on the DL.
