16 Josh Reddick, RF

Athletics outfielder Josh Reddick (wrist) remains on track to take batting practice Friday in Houston. He will do so again Saturday, and if all goes well, then the team will decide where to send him for a rehab assignment, according to MLB.com.

Reddick could be reinstated from the disabled list next week. Reddick, who was hitting .152 before going on the disabled list, believes his hitting woes could be strongly connected to his wrist discomfort.

Athletics outfielder Josh Reddick will join his teammates on Friday in Houston, MLB.com reports Monday. Reddick will take batting practice at that time. 

If all goes well Reddick, who will avoid the disabled list with his wrist injury, will be sent out on an injury rehab assignment in the minors. 

Athletics manager Bob Melvin said Monday during an interview with MLB Network Radio the team has "hopefully" ruled out surgery for outfielder Josh Reddick, who is on the disabled list with a wrist injury. Reddick is not with the team in Texas, but he could join them in Houston (May 24-26).

Athletics outfielder Josh Reddick said Saturday that he's been taking dry swings with a bat, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Reddick said his wrist has had no discomfort, though he's not actually hitting anything yet. He's hopeful to avoid surgery.

"No issues," he said. "It's wait-and-see right now. We don't have a set plan."

Athletics outfielder Josh Reddick, who is on the 15-day disabled list with a right wrist injury, doesn't think his injury will require surgery, but did not rule it out as a possibility, MLB.com reports.

Reddick said he has already noticed improvement in his wrist and will likely wait a week before trying to swing a bat. Reddick has been sidelined since May 7.
