Zach Logue Making First MLB Start Friday
3 years agoOakland Athletics left-hander Zach Logue will make his first major league start on Friday against the Minnesota Twins on the road. Logue, the team's No. 20 prospect per MLB Pipeline, was called up from the minors when the A's placed starting pitcher Cole Irvin (shoulder) on the injured list. The 26-year-old will have a chance to make another start in Irvin's place if he performs well against Minnesota on Friday, but fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting all that much. Logue only has 1 1/3 innings of experience in relief in the majors this year, and he has a 3.51 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 8.4 K/9 in five minor league seasons over 430 1/3 innings pitched. In four minor league starts for Triple-A Las Vegas this year, Logue allowed 10 earned runs on 21 hits (five homers allowed) while walking eight and striking out 13 in 16 innings.
