Brent Rooker Leaves Sunday’s Game With Abdominal Soreness
8 months agoOakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker left Sunday's game with abdominal soreness, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. Rooker struck out twice off Jack Flaherty before exiting the game. Rooker was replaced by Lawrence Butler, who hit a single in the top of the fifth inning. The Athletics are off on Monday as they travel to Texas to kick off a three-game set on Tuesday. The day off should bode well for Rooker, as he could be back in the lineup on Tuesday. If not, Lawrence Butler, Seth Brown, or Tyler Nevin are favorites to be slotted into the lineup instead.
