Boog Powell News
Oakland Athletics outfielder Boog Powell (knee) took batting practice for the first time since he went on the disabled list on Tuesday, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Powell has been out for a couple of months with an MCL sprain sustained while running the bases. Power was in a battle during spring training for the center field spot against Dustin Fowler, who did well after being demoted to Triple-A, but Fowler has struggled since being called up. There is no need to have saved a roster spot for Powell.
Oakland Athletics outfielder Boog Powell (knee) has a Grade 1 MCL sprain, according to Julian McWilliams of The Athletic. Manager Bob Melvin pointed out that Powell wont do anything for three weeks. He was put on the disabled list on Saturday for a sprained right knee sustained while running the bases. The Athletics replaced him with Mark Canha. Many are calling for prospect Dustin Fowler to be called up, but the team has already stated they want Fowler to get more at-bats in Triple-A. Currently, Fowler is hitting .286. If he were to go on a tear, it would be tough for the Athletics to keep him down with an open spot available.
Oakland Athletics outfielder Boog Powell hits the DL with a sprained right knee sustained while running the bases on Saturday, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. He will head back to Oakland on Monday to have an MRI. Powell was in a competition with rookie Dustin Fowler in spring for the center field spot. His sluggish season continues from spring (.222 AVG) into the season with a .167 average in 23 at-bats. Fowler needs more development time so Powell will be replaced on the roster with Mark Canha who will be called up on Sunday.
