    A's Elvis Andrus says slow start 'humbling,' aims to work through it

    I think I’m trying to feel so many things that the most important thing, which is to come down and see the ball and attack, I wasn’t doing in an everyday way. I think sometimes one at-bat gets you back on track. One at-bat can get your mind-set back on like, ‘OK that’s what I was missing.

    But we’ve been playing a lot of good teams and I feel good about where our team is at. It feels like we’re playing good baseball, and we feel like we’re even capable of playing better.

    A's injuries: Laureano out of Sunday lineup; Pinder nearing return

    The Oakland A’s latest injury updates feature a short-term bump, but a big long-term positive. The A’s were without CF Ramon Laureano on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Laureano got the day off amid a right thumb issue — he could have played if needed, but with the team getting an off-day Monday they took the chance to give him some extended rest, reports insider Martin Gallegos.
