Wendelken (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list prior to Thursday’s contest versus the Dodgers, with righty James Kaprielian taking his spot on the active roster.

Tommy La Stella Doubles And Scores Against Dodgers

Oakland Athletics second baseman Tommy La Stella doubled and scored a run in a win over the Dodgers Wednesday. The most notable part of this game for La Stella was the fact he struck out, something he has been better at avoiding than every other player in 2020. La Stella sports a microscopic 4.8 percent […]

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis is among the club’s starting nine for Wednesday’s contest versus the Dodgers and right-hander Joe Kelly.
