A’s right-hander Frankie Montas will have a cortisone injection to alleviate inflammation in his right shoulder.
OAKLAND — Athletics’ right-hander Frankie Montas was scheduled to get a cortisone injection in his right shoulder Wednesday afternoon and will miss his scheduled start this weekend against the Houston Astros.
Montas was removed from his previous start Sunday after one inning in 2-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners as his velocity had dipped into the low 90s and he reported some stiffness in his shoulder after giving up a leadoff home run to Julio Rodriguez. Montas ended up getting the loss, dropping his record to 3-9 but with a solid 3.26 earned run average.
Paparesta said there was no “best-case scenario” with regard to how soon Montas could be available after a cortisone shot, couldn’t say whether he could pitch before the All-Star break and that there were no structural issues with the shoulder.As for any soreness or pain from the injection itself, Paparesta said that shouldn’t be an issue.
