The Athletics performed a slight reshuffling of the rotation to keep Aaron Brooks on close to regular rest.
The Oakland Athletics recalled right-handed starting pitcher Aaron Brooks from Triple-A Nashville to start Saturday's contest against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Corner infielder Max Muncy was optioned to Nashville. Jesse Chavez was pushed back to Sunday. Felix Doubront, Chris Bassitt, and Sonny Gray will follow when the A's return home to face the Los Angeles Angels.
Aaron Brooks returns to the MLB club after making two starts with Nashville, most recently on August 23 when he tossed seven innings of one-run ball while visiting the Reno Aces.
