When the Oakland A’s begin their 2020 season on July 24, the first two opponents they’ll face are the Angels and Rockies. Both teams made news on Friday.
Angels
For the Angels, starting pitcher Julio Teheran finally joined training camp after coronavirus-related delays, reports Jeff Fletcher of the OC Register. The 29-year-old right-hander signed with the Angels for $9 million last winter after a solid and durable seven-year run with the Braves, and he’s one of the better arms in the Halos’ rotation plans.
While Teheran is cleared for duty, that doesn’t necessarily mean the A’s will see him next weekend, or at least not in a starting capacity.
