Will they fare any better in June?

Is Miguel Andujar just going to be good this year? Would be a massive win for the #athletics if so.

You really love to see it

Mitch Spence walks out to Thizzelle Dance for his first career start at the Coliseum.

[White Cleat Beat @WhiteCleatBeat]

Just shy of 6k is honestly more than I expected coming into this year. I know that's tickets sold and not bodies through the door but still...

[Jomboy @Jomboy_]

The average attendance per game ranging from 46k to 5k is pretty insane.

• Dodgers are crazy.
• How are Nats outdrawing the Mets?
• Thought Orioles would be higher. Feels higher!
• Nice to see D-Backs get a huge bump.

Really interested to see if they add a SS to the roster or if they just roll with Schuemann for the next few weeks

[Martín Gallegos @MartinJGallegos]

Update on Darell Hernaiz: After seeing Stanford foot specialist, it was determined no surgery is required but he will be in a walking boot. Kotsay said the injury “is gonna take some time” to heal.

[White Cleat Beat @WhiteCleatBeat]

Absolutely love to see it

[Martín Gallegos @MartinJGallegos]

A’s No. 1 prospect Jacob Wilson has been promoted to Triple-A Las Vegas. Hitting .455/.473/.705 with 16 extra-base hits in 22 games for Double-A Midland.

[White Cleat Beat @WhiteCleatBeat]

Well, this isn't ideal

[Martín Gallegos @MartinJGallegos]

MRI results revealed a “severe” left ankle sprain for Darell Hernaiz. He’s going to see a foot specialist at Stanford today.

[White Cleat Beat @WhiteCleatBeat]

Aledmys Diaz waiting to come off the IL like

[Karl Buscheck @KarlBuscheck]

Checking in on the A's organizational SS depth chart:

*Darell Hernaiz: IL
*Nick Allen: (Rightfully) banished to Triple-A
*Max Muncy: Triple-A IL
*Jacob Wilson: Hitting .455 in Dobule-A

So, it's down to Max Schuemann and Brett Harris (I think).

[White Cleat Beat @WhiteCleatBeat]

So just Schuemann at shortstop everyday with...Toro backing him up? Can Brett Harris play SS? Interesting choice.

[A's Communications @AthleticsPR]

The Oakland A’s recalled C/1B Tyler Soderstrom from Triple-A Las Vegas, selected LHP Easton Lucas from Las Vegas and added RHP Osvaldo Bido from Las Vegas as the 27th man for the doubleheader against Texas.  The A’s also placed INF Darell Hernaiz on the 10-day IL with a left ankle injury and optioned LHP Hogan Harris to Las Vegas.  To clear a spot on the 40-man roster, the A’s designated RHP Alex Speas for assignment.

[White Cleat Beat @WhiteCleatBeat]

Not much to write home about today but glad Tyler Ferguson pitched well in his debut. Certainly a long time coming.

[MLB Pipeline @MLBPipeline]

Tyler Ferguson makes his long-awaited Major League debut!

Nine years after Texas drafted him, the @Athletics rookie wields a pair of 96 mph fastballs to strike out a pair of Rangers.

[Yahoo Sports @YahooSports]

A’s closer Mason Miller isn’t expecting a special walkout anytime soon at Oakland Coliseum 😅

Ross Stripling is on the mound today as the A's look to get back in the win column.

[White Cleat Beat @WhiteCleatBeat]

How will Mark Kotsay deploy Tyler Ferguson, who has pitched well in Triple-A this year?

And will another team claim Lazarito off waivers?

https://t.co/726jmdd6E0

[White Cleat Beat @WhiteCleatBeat]

Ferguson has been good in Triple-A this year. 2.40 ERA in 15 innings, 34.8% K rate.

Lazarito has been bad but interested to see if he gets claimed.

[A's Communications @AthleticsPR]

The Oakland A’s selected right-handed pitcher Tyler Ferguson from Triple-A Las Vegas and optioned right-handed pitcher Dany Jiménez to Las Vegas.  To clear a spot on the 40-man roster, the A’s designated outfielder Lazaro Armenteros for assignment.
