OAKLAND -- With Sunday marking the two-thirds point of the A's season, this is the time of year when some starting pitchers start to hit a bit of a wall.
Fortunately for the A's, reinforcements could soon be on the way. Left-hander Sean Manaea is expected to make his season debut in the next couple of weeks, while Marco Estrada and Jesús Luzardo could return in September. Oakland is also in the market to add another starting pitcher before Wednesday's Trade Deadline.
As it stands now, the A's rotation consists of Mike Fiers, Brett Anderson, Chris Bassitt, Daniel Mengden, and Homer Bailey.
