Notes:
MLB:
The Detroit Tigers acquire RP Jose Veras from the Astros in return for OF Danry Vasquez. Jose Veras will move to an 8th inning setup role while Vasquez will pad the Astros farm at the A ball level
The Atlanta Braves swap relievers, shipping RP Cory Rasmus for the Angels' RP Scott Downs. Downs will help Luis Avilan with the lefty load, splitting time as a loogy. Rasmus on the other hand has nice numbers in AAA, and a mid 90s fastball and a decent changeup.
The Tampa Bay Rays acquire RP Jessie Crain for future cash and player considerati
A's:
AJ Griffin has made 2 starts against the Jays, and has 7.1 scoreless innings against them
Josh Reddick has 5 career homers against the Jays, which is 3rd most against a team in his career
Before their 10 run explosion last night against the Angels, the A's were in a 15 game offensive slump, putting up a .197 average and only averaging 2.87 runs per game
Jays:
Esmil Rogers had a nice game against the Dodgers last time out giving up 2 runs on 7 innings pitched when the Jays lost 8-3 in extras. He's only faced the A's once before as a relief pitcher spinning 3.1 innings of scoreless relief
Rasmus is hot, hitting .365 out the gate with 18 RBIs in a total of 23 games. Edwin went 9/12 with eight ribbies against the 'Stros starting a mini hot streak for the Jays first baseman
Darrin Oliver confirmed to Shi Davidi insuring that this is indeed his last season of baseball
