Athletics' Billy Butler: Will travel with team
Butler (concussion) reported feeling better and will travel with the team on their upcoming road trip, Joe Stiglich of CSN California reports.
Analysis:
Oakland is wrapping up a home set with the Indians on Wednesday, but they hit the road after that for six days starting on Friday, so the news would seem to indicate Butler could return at some point in that span. He was placed on the 7-day DL on Monday, so he wouldn't be eligible to be activated until the end of the road trip, but he may not need to miss any more time than the minimum seven days.
