The Athletics made a change to their pitching staff today, calling up left-handed reliever Sean Newcomb from Triple-A while sending down Hogan Harris to Vegas:
The A’s have selected LHP Sean Newcomb and optioned LHP Hogan Harris to Las Vegas. Additionally, LHP Richard Lovelady has been transferred to the 60-day injured list.

Only recently acquired in a minor trade with the cross-bay Giants, Newcomb is a veteran of six big-league years, all in the NL. He started his career as a starter for the Atlanta Braves but shifted to the bullpen almost exclusively after two seasons as a starter.
