Dan Straily Called Up From Triple A

Update: Susan Sussler is reporting that the A's have called up Dan Straily to the team. It is likely that he will be in their starting rotation.


As an update to our earlier story on replacing Brandon McCarthy. According to Joe Stiglich, Dan Straily has been removed from his next AAA playoff start.

Dan Straily flew with #Athletics to Seattle, I'm told. Don't have it confirmed he'll replace McCarthy in rotation, but obvious candidate.

All signs are pointing towards Straily starting five days from tomorrow against the Angels. That would pin him against Dan Haren. Now the only question is whether or not the A's will score more than one run.

Straily's stats in three starts for the A's this year:
1-0 W-L; 17 IP; 3.18 ERA;  17SO

Win or lose its nice to know the A's are willing to bring up another key prospect in a pivotal part of the season.
