Athletics reliever Soria experiencing hip discomfort

Oakland Athletics reliever Joakim Soria is experiencing tendinitis in his right hip and will temporarily stop throwing off the mound. "It will probably be a couple day thing," manager Bob Melvin said Tuesday at the team's spring-training complex in Mesa, Ariz. "We'll see how he feels after he plays catch."

Soria split the 2018 season with the Chicago White Sox and Milwaukee Brewers, posting a 3-4 record with 16 saves and a 3.12 ERA in 66 bullpen appearances. The 34-year-old right-hander signed a two-year, $15 million contract with Oakland in December and is projected as one of the team's primary setup men.
