JJ Bleday Could Return Next Week
1 year agoOakland Athletics outfielder JJ Bleday (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, according to Martin Gallegos of MLB.com, and manager Mark Kotsay told reporters he could return next week if there are no setbacks. The former fourth-overall draft pick suffered an ACL sprain and hasn't played in the Majors since mid-August. Bleday has 77 games under his belt this season, and he's slashed .203/.313/.373 with 10 homers, 34 runs, 27 RBI, and five steals. He doesn't have much relevance in any format, even when healthy, so fantasy managers can ignore the 25-year-old once he's back in action.
