Athletics first baseman Mark Canha is back with the team on Tuesday after being sent back to the hotel the previous day due to a severe respiratory infection, the Bay Area News Group reports.
Canha is not in the starting lineup but could come off the bench for the Athletics, who are road favorites (-140) in Houston on Tuesday, per VegasInsider.com.
"It seem like we have had it multiple times, but I don't know what you can do about it," manager Bob Melvin said to Bay Area News Group. "When you get guys in close proximity and there's something that's contagious going around, to an extent you try to do the best you can like yesterday, sending Canha home. But you go through these things."
The first baseman has hit .226/.293/.396 with five home runs and 15 RBI in 106 at-bats.
