Lou Trivino

Boone removed Cole with the bases loaded in the sixth inning of the Yankees' Game 3 loss. "I was just not ready to come out," Cole said.

Oakland suffered its most painful loss of the season on Marcus Semien's three-run walk-off home run off Sergio Romo.

The A's blew a lead for the third consecutive day and are slumping just as the Yankees and Mariners are heating up.

Though he pitched better on Saturday than he had in his previous three starts, Sean Manaea was unable to get through five innings.

For A's closer Lou Trivino, the parallels between baseball and construction are obvious: "Get the job done because it needs to be done."

Plus: Frankie Montas puts it together, more good news for the bullpen and injury notes.

The starting rotation is rounding back into form, while Jed Lowrie continues to shine offensively.

Rosenthal’s surgery leaves a hole in the ninth for the A’s. Will Jake Diekman, Lou Trivino or someone else take hold of the role?

It will be nearly impossible to replace Hendriks' production, but the A's have some viable in-house candidates to save games.

The A's signed two of their arbitration-eligible players already but have eight players who will need to be tendered contracts or let go.

Hendriks led a group that was outstanding for much of the season but faded down the stretch and in the postseason.

They beat themselves as they squander a four-run lead and drop the series opener to the Astros.

Mike Fiers added to his Mr. Reliable rep with the A's, producing another solid start in a 6-2 win over the Twins.

The A's were clinging on by a thread just a few months back. Now they're the hottest team in a riveting AL wild-card race.
