Redmond, Washington native Adrian David Sampson was last seen in these parts during Spring Training. He was recently transferred from the minor league seven-day Injured List to the 60-Day list, which might or might not leave him available for late-season innings, depending on the actual length of his stay and the need for his arm.

He’s been decent in a long man/break-glass starter role for two years, and there’s no real reason to think that he wouldn’t be, were he healthy and activated. He’s a prototype sixth starter with occasional flashes of a No. 4 or No.
