The Oakland A’s are playing another doubleheader on Saturday! That means they’re allowed to call up an extra player to help out in the second game.
The A’s chose pitcher Adam Oller to be be the 27th man for the doubleheader, the team announced. He will start the second game of the day against the Angels. Upon the completion of that game, he must return to Triple-A.
This is Oller’s second stint in Oakland this season, after being acquired two months ago in the Chris Bassitt trade. The right-hander cracked the Opening Day rotation and made three starts in April, including his MLB debut, but got knocked around each time and was eventually optioned down to the minors.
