Breaking down key Oakland A’s relievers: The importance of McFarland, Wendelken and Diekman

MESA, Ariz. — While the professional sports world pondered the reality of empty arenas and ballparks as dictated by Coronavirus-related directives, the Oakland A’s were faced with an empty, rain-soaked Tempe Diablo stadium on Wednesday.

It poured all morning in Arizona, forcing the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to cancel their game against the A’s.

Error 0:

Left-handed pitcher Sean Manaea, the slated starter, will throw a side session on Wednesday. Left-handed pitcher Jesús Luzardo will make his start as planned on Thursday against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Glendale.

The regular season is drawing near, but the state of the game is far from clear.
