Kotsay said the A’s weren’t able to get a replacement to Texas in time for the game on Monday night. Clarke left the game on Sunday night with hip discomfort. Clarke hit .230 through 47 games.

#5 The A’s are shopping pitcher Luis Severino, Jefferey Springs, and JP Sears. Springs will be owed $10.5 million in 2026 and has a $15 million option for 2027. Severino has expressed that he was not happy pitching at Sutter Health Field in Sacramento because the dirt on the mound was too hard and the dugout didn’t go the clubhouse but you had to go through the outfield to get to the clubhouse. Sears does give up the long ball but clubs could use him as he is durable.

MLB The Show podcast Charlie O:

#1 San Francisco Giants pitcher Sean Hjelle’s wife Caroline has accused Hjelle of abuse on a 3:00pm Tic Tock post got 3.2 million views. Caroline said Hjelle abandoned her and his two boys saying “on Mother’s Day a week after this once I finally found out about his affairs and stopped putting up with his abuse so I’ve been raising two boys alone.” Hjelle pitched Friday evening after the Tick Toc post and struggled pitching one inning giving up a home run to the Boston Red Sox Ceddanne Rafaela. Hjelle said that he spoke to MLB about the issue on Saturday and had nothing to say further about it.

#2 Giants designated hitter Rafael Devers in his first game against his old team the Red Sox went 0-5 on Friday night. Devers hitless Friday night got close to getting a hit when he hit one to the left field wall and later he hit a ball that could have went for extra bases but was caught by Rafaela. It seemed the Sox were up to shut Devers down. But on Saturday Devers hit a home run for his 16th home run of the season which made a big difference as the Giants just got by the Red Sox 3-2.

#3 Milwaukee Brewers rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski has started his big league career like none other. Misiorowski last week has pitched five no hit innings in his big league debut but left after cramping up. In Misiorowski’s second start he took a perfect game into the sixth inning against the Minnesota Twins. Misiorowski has now pitch 11 straight innings of hitless baseball. Misiorowski is the first pitcher to throw ten hitless innings to start a career the overall record for hitless innings is held by Austin Cox for 11.2 innings in 2023.

#4 Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora before Friday’s game against the San Francisco Giants said that it’s nothing personal regarding the trade of Devers to the Giants last week. Cora said it’s “Clear the air? It’s a trade. It’s baseball. It’s a business,” Reports have it that it was a messy divorce between Devers and the Red Sox over his refusal to play first base and not being happy about being in the designated hitter role. Cora said he will say hello to him and that their still friends. Devers said that he didn’t want to talk about the past and that he didn’t have anything to say good or bad about Alex and that he wanted to keep everything in the past.

#5 In spite of the Sacramento Athletics loss on Saturday are coming around after suffering a number of long losing streaks they have put together six wins in their last ten games including a quality start from starter Jeffrey Springs on Friday night that resulted in a 5-1 win over the Cleveland Guardians in Sacramento. The A’s still have a lot of work to do to get out of the cellar as they trail the fourth place Los Angeles Angels by six games.
