The Journal News reports that 23-year-old Mike Nolan remains in critical condition after surgery Saturday at a New York City hospital.
Nolan was shot multiple times early Friday in the parking lot of a Burger King restaurant just outside the city in Yonkers. Police have made no arrests.
Nolan played collegiately at Oklahoma City University. Oakland selected the left-handed pitcher in the 18th round of the 2014 Major League Baseball draft.
