The Oakland A’s called up pitcher Frankie Montas on Tuesday, the team announced. That brings the expanded September roster up to 37 players, out of a possible 40.
We last saw Montas at the end of August, making a start against the Mariners. He got blown up in the 1st inning of that game but held on to eat six innings, taking the loss but at least saving the bullpen along the way as a silver lining. Overall he’s made 11 starts for Oakland this season, and he’s been quality half the time with only a couple true disaster outings.
