ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -Eric Chavez has been scratched from his return to the field for the Oakland Athletics.
Chavez, who played in only three of the previous 12 games because of a sore right elbow, was initially in Oakland’s starting lineup at first base. About 30 minutes before the game, a lineup change was announced with Chavez instead at third base, his normal position.
But Chavez didn’t bat in the first inning or take the field. The reason wasn’t immediately clear.
Bobby Crosby started at third base and Landon Powell at first instead for Jason Giambi, who missed the game because both of his hamstrings are sore.
