Elephant Rumblings: Puk settling into bullpen role

Monday, Athletics Nation!

I mean, let’s be real. The A’s have lost nine in a row. I’ll save the happiness for an Oakland victory. But there are always silver linings to appreciate, like Ramon Laureano’s return to the club yesterday, with his 80-game PED suspension finally completed.

There’s also A.J. Puk, who notched two scoreless appearances in Minneapolis over the weekend and looks like he might finally be getting into a groove at the major league level after years of struggles and setbacks. Matt Kawahara at the San Francisco Chronicle wrote a piece highlighting Puk’s strong start to 2022.
