SEATTLE — Triple-A Nashville’s season ends Monday, so Oakland’s next batch of September callups are expected to join the club :Tuesday.
Among them: slugger Renato Nuñez, who is second in the minors with 32 homers, and several pitchers. Daniel Mengden is likely to be one - the A’s have a doubleheader Saturday and need another starter - and long reliever Josh Smith also is a good bet.
“We’re still kind of talking about it a little bit, depending on how much pitching we need,” manager Bob Melvin said. “You always feel you maybe have enough, but you don’t want to be caught short.
