This is one of those cases where, depending on who you ask the question, you’re going to get a different answer every time, but the mystery of Where In The World Is Shane Presutti has been answered; the trigger has finally been pulled after nigh two weeks of downtime, and he’s now back in Rookie Ball.

We’ve been asking for a while where Presutti is, noting his absence from the team for all but a few innings, and the last update we got from the team was that he was down with a ‘virus’. That’s now been switched to ‘health concerns’, which to me sounds like something a little trickier than a runny nose and a sore throat, though I’m going entirely on gut instinct in that assumption.

Oakland does have a tendency to play their injury cards close to their chest (if we hadn’t have heard it from the player himself, we STILL wouldn’t know that Jimmy Shull got a second injury after recovering from Tommy John surgery, and let’s not even talk about what really happened to Landon Powell’s knee way back when), so we’ll not likely get the full details about Presutti until he’s back and fighting fit - if at all.

In the meantime, just as with the Josh Horton promotion, there’s been no word on a replacement coming back the other way so the C’s will have to make do.
