"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.
