Kelley L Cox/US Presswire

Tommy Milone (9-8, 3.68 ERA) will face off against Aaron Laffey (2-2, 4.20 ERA) in a Sunday matinee at the O.Co Coliseum as the A's look to take three out of four against the Blue Jays.


Milone was uncharacteristically shaky at home in his last outing against the Rays. His command was off and he left pitches up, allowing Tampa Bay to score five runs in his six innings. The lefty's home ERA rose from 0.91 to 1.51. (h/t MLB.com)


There were a few roster moves this morning. Relievers Evan Scribner and Pedro Figueroa were called up from Triple A Sacramento, and outfielder Michael Taylor was sent down. AJ Griffin was placed on the DL after injuring his shoulder in yesterday's start.


Yoenis Cespedes is back in the starting lineup after a minor injury forced him to miss yesterday's game. He is batting fourth and will DH. 


Here is the rest of the A's lineup:


Crisp CF
Gomes LF,
Reddick RF
Cespedes DH
Carter 1B
Inge 3B
