OAKLAND -- The A's are eager to get a look at another pitcher acquired in the Josh Donaldson trade, and Sean Nolin is eager to prove himself when he starts Sunday against the Mariners.
"I've been waiting for it all year," Nolin said Saturday. "I'm definitely excited just to get out there on the mound."
Nolin, one of four players the A's received from the Blue Jays in the Donaldson deal, will finally make his Oakland debut after spending much of the season on the disabled list, first while recovering from offseason sports hernia surgery that sidelined him through May 15.
