MLB Note - Oakland Athletics Cotton, Jharel

Sep 19, 2017 - 8:12 AM RHP Jharel Cotton suffered a right groin strain during warmups and was a late scratch from his scheduled start in Detroit on Monday. Cotton has made 23 starts this season, going 8-10 with a 5.81 ERA. He pitched five innings in his last start against Boston on Wednesday, collecting a win after giving up three runs on six hits. "I throw a flat ground before I go to the mound and the second pitch, that's when I felt a slight pull in my groin area," Cotton said. "I tried to see if was nothing and it just kept grabbing."
