ARLINGTON -- Another day, another Coco Crisp pink eye update. The A's leadoff hitter is still out of the starting lineup. He is however progressing, he hit in a cage for the second day in a row. He has been on the field running and participating in baseball activities and was used as a pinch runner on Tuesday and stole a base. He is still not quite ready to return.
LINEUP: Reddick back in starting lineup
"Sooner the better for me but he's got to feel comfortable and we're still not at that point yet," A's manager Bob Melvin said of Crisp. Crisp took to Twitter to express his frustrations on Tuesday morning. Its so frustrating have this pink I crap!
