A’s likely to promote Andrew Triggs for doubleheader; Henderson Alvarez longshot option for Wednesday start

The rainout between the A’s and the Orioles in Camden Yards Friday was interesting in that it stopped raining just a little after the postponement was announced.

The weather map looked grim, to be sure, and the outfield was drenched, but it wasn’t raining much at all between 7 p.m. and at least 8:45 p.m. EDT.

The Oakland roster is going to be impacted by this in a couple of ways. For one, the A’s will be able to call up a 26th player for the second game of Saturday’s day/night doubleheader.

It’s likely to be Andrew Triggs, who has been up briefly twice before.
