OAKLAND
Hector Rondon Jersey , Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Athletics have acquired right-handed reliever Cory Gearrin from the Texas Rangers for minor league
right-handers Abdiel Mendoza and Teodoro Ortega.The teams announced the deal
Friday, the last day that players can be traded and be eligible for the
postseason.Gearrin has combined to go 2-1 with a 3.51 ERA and one save in 56
relief appearances this season with Texas and San Francisco. He began the season
with the Giants and was traded to the Rangers in July.The acquisition adds depth
to an already formidable A’s bullpen.“To be able to go over and be a part of
that bullpen, I feel like it’s going to be something special
Anthony Gose Jersey ,” Gearrin said Friday in the Rangers’ clubhouse. “They’ve really been investing in that bullpen.”Gearrin’s versatility figures to
be a valuable asset, A’s manager Bob Melvin said.“You would envision more of a
matchup righty-righty guy, but he’s shown the ability to get lefties
out

ball moves a lot.“I know he’s excited about being here. I talked to him for a
while today. He said, ‘I’ll do whatever you ask me to do.'”The 19-year-old
Mendoza was 2-3 with a 3.32 ERA at Class-A Vermont. The 18-year-old Ortega is
3-1 with a 2.11 ERA in the Dominican Summer League.The A’s also transferred
right-hander Paul Blackburn to the 60-day disabled list to clear a spot on the
40-man roster. Yu Darvish's frustrating 2018 has come to an abrupt end due to an
elbow injury.Per The Athletic's Sahadev Sharma
Francisco Liriano Jersey , an MRI showed Darvish has a stress reaction in his right elbow and a triceps strain. He is going to be shut down for six weeks and
won't pitch again this season.This comes after Darvish left a rehab start with
Low-A South Bend on Sunday after one inning because of discomfort in his
pitching arm.The Cubs signed the 31-year-old to a six-year contract in the
offseason, hoping he would play a big role in their quest to get back to the
World Series after winning a title in 2016.Instead, the four-time All-Star
stumbled out of the gate with a 4.95 ERA in eight starts. He's also had two
stints on the disabled list in 2018. The first came in early May due to a virus
and again on May 27 with tendinitis in his right triceps.Because of Darvish's
extended absence already this season
http://www.astrosfanproshop.com/authentic-charlie-morton-jersey , Cubs manager Joe Maddon won't have an issue forming a rotation without the
right-hander. They acquired Cole Hamels from the Texas Rangers on July 27 to add
depth to a group that includes Jose Quintana, Jon Lester, Kyle Hendricks and
Tyler Chatwood.
