A’s pitcher Jesse Hahn said he was surprised and disappointed that he was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.
“It’s a little frustrating,” Hahn said. “I thought I’d been having a really good season up until these last two starts. I don’t want to say it’s unfair because I understand it’s a business thing, but I don’t like that I was kind of judged off of two starts there.”
Hahn was one of Oakland’s most reliable starters in his first 12 games (11 starts), posting a 3.56 ERA while striking out 54, walking 24 and yielding just one home run in 65 2/3 innings.
