OAKLAND -- The strategy was hardly successful Saturday, yet the A's will try it again, with plans in place to use an "opener" for Tuesday's matchup with the Yankees.
For the second time in four days, reliever Liam Hendriks will start at the Coliseum. Righty Frankie Montas, who will be recalled from Triple-A Nashville ahead of the game, is expected to be involved, according to A's manager Bob Melvin.
Montas likely won't be the only pitcher promoted, with Nashville's season concluding Monday, and the A's could have more than 15 at their disposal out of the bullpen.
