CHICAGO -- To fill at least part of their starting pitching need, the A's will turn to much-traveled veteran right-hander Edwin Jackson.
Jackson joined the team Sunday and will start the opener of a four-game series at Detroit on Monday. The 34-year-old made three starts for Triple-A Nashville earlier this month after signing a Minor League deal.
The A's will be Jackson's 13th Major League team.
"I'm probably the only guy in the clubhouse that has never met him, but I did earlier today," manager Bob Melvin said before the finale of the four-game series against the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field.
