Athletics' Gunnar Hoglund: Receives PRP injection

Hoglund received a PRP injection for his back this past Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Hoglund sustained both a right knee sprain and a lumbar spine strain during spring training, but it is the latter injury that has caused the most issues for the 26-year-old right-hander. He was transferred to the 60-day IL on April 7, and while the PRP injection should help with his recovery, the Athletics have not provided a clear timeline for Hoglund's return.
