That means no microfracture surgery needed for Brandon Moss, which is very good news. Impingement alleviated. #Athletics

Moss had been bothered by right hip issues that apparently affected his production after the All-Star Break.

Stephen Vogt's right foot surgery goes well

Stephen Vogt had right foot surgery on October 14. The foot issue prevented him from catching and most outfield duties, and he was limited to first base for much of the year. From Janie McCauley of the Associated Press:

#Athletics C Stephen Vogt on right foot operation today in LA: "Surgery went well. Six to eight weeks I should be able to start activities."
