Athletics' Brent Rooker: Doing light baseball work

Rookier (oblique) has resumed taking part in light baseball activities, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

The veteran slugger landed on the shelf April 10 due to an oblique strain, and he was shut down from baseball activities for a little more than a week. Rooker will travel with the Athletics on their road trip this week as he continues to ramp up his activity level.
