Back on field Fiers returned to workouts Tuesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Impact Fiers was not with the Athletics for their first few days of workouts due to what manager Bob Melvin called "pending issues." Teams across the league are legally required to be vague regarding coronavirus-related absences, but regardless of whether that was the reason Fiers had yet to join his teammates, he's back with them now. He's a candidate for the team's Opening Day start, though whether or not his absence will keep him from being game-ready by that date remains to be seen.
