OAKLAND, Calif. - Oakland Athletics closer Sean Doolittle is unlikely to be ready for the start of the season because of a slight tear to the rotator cuff in his left shoulder along with considerable inflammation and irritation in the area.Doolittle had a platelet-rich plasma injection last Friday in an attempt to decrease the inflammation and irritation before he begins rehabilitation under the direction of athletic trainer Nick Paparesta, assistant general manager David Forst said Friday. There is no timetable for Doolittles return, though doctors believe the left-hander will recover to pitch without needing surgery.He started experiencing soreness last month while beginning his regular off-season throwing program. When the discomfort remained through a few throwing sessions, the As sent Doolittle to their orthopedist in Arizona, Dr. Doug Freedberg. Doolittle had an MRI and, after consultation with Dr. Will Workman in Oakland, they diagnosed the rotator cuff tear and other issues. Then the pitcher had the PRP shot.Neither doctor in this case believes surgery is warranted, Forst said. Both of them, and Nick, believe Sean pitched with this for some amount of time last season and all are confident he can do so again once the inflammation is gone and his strength returns.The 28-year-old Doolittle made his first All-Star team last season. He went 2-4 with a 2.73 ERA and 22 saves in 61 appearances as Oakland reached the playoffs for the third straight year. He became the closer after 2013 AL saves leader Jim Johnson began the season in the ninth-inning role, struggled and was eventually released.Doolittle spent Aug. 24 to Sept. 12 on the disabled list because of a strained right intercostal muscle.Last April, Doolittle was rewarded with a five-year contract worth $10.5 million. He has been a reliable member of Oaklands bullpen since converting from first base late in the 2011 season.

With no player values, formations or position requirements in Sky Sports Fantasy Six-a-Side, the pundits can pick whoever they want except for only one of the four Elite Players, who are Riyad Mahrez, Jamie Vardy, Graziano Pelle and Saido Mane this week.Heres who they have gone for... Mersons VIRiyad Mahrez - Jamie Vardys goals have dried up and hes been the one that has stepped up. If theres a man to make the difference in a tight game then hes the number one contender.Shane Long - Hes the man that can cause problems with his movement and Robert Huth and Wes Morgan wont enjoy playing against him. Leicester will have to go out and chase the win that will make for space for Long to get in behind.NGolo Kante - Hes having a magnificent season and making a mockery of the fact very few people had even heard of him at the start of the season, even scoring for France - the cheek of him! The way he gets around the park is like having an extra man in midfield. NGolo Kante scored on his France debut against Russia Steven Davis - Im a big fan of his as hes very underrated and always does a good job. Hell complete plenty of passes and create chances.Robert Huth - Leicester have three clean sheets on the bounce but Ive got him in there more for his goals than his clean sheets.dddddddddddd A lot of defenders go up for set-pieces because their managers tell them to but this guy always looks a threat. Marc Albrighton - He takes corners and free-kicks so hes going to create plenty of chances and has been another one of the unsung heroes of the season. Its ridiculous to think Aston Villa let him go! Marc Albrighton has flourished at Leicester after struggling at Aston Villa Le Tiss VIGraziano Pelle - Hes rediscover his scoring touch with three goals in his last two games and Im backing him to net again on Sunday.Shinji Okazaki - Im loading my team with attacking players because I think its going to be a high-scoring game. Okazaki obviously has not been as prolific as others but hes still got a few goals this season and creates chances.Virgil van Dijk - Im not expecting us to keep a clean sheet but hes a real threat to score from a set-pieces. With three goals this season, Scott Dann is the only defender to have scored more. Virgil van Dijk has impressed in his first season at Southampton NGolo Kante - Hes one of the stars of the season and hes got to be a solid pick, making plenty of passes, tackles and interceptions.Shane Long - His pace is going to be key to hitting Leicester on the counter-attack, where we know we can really hurt them. He was also on the scoresheet for Ireland so confidence should be high.Danny Drinkwater - Talking of confidence, a man-of-the-match award on his England debut will have done Drinkwaters no harm at all. Hell probably complete more passes than any other player and should create chances as well.Who makes your VI? Pick your Sky Sports Fantasy Six-a-Side team here.
