Oakland A's option Jesse Hahn ahead of rotation switcheroo, call up reliever J.B. Wendelken

Saturday's doubleheader has prompted some roster shuffling this week. Could Henderson Alvarez rejoin the team sooner than originally projected?

Saturday's doubleheader prompted the Oakland A's to option Jesse Hahn to Triple-A Nashville and call up right-handed reliever J.B. Wendelken. The A's are electing to make a rotation switcheroo prompted by the need to play six games in five days. The A's will either have to arrange to call up a starting pitcher before Wednesday's contest against the Boston Red Sox or they could throw a bullpen game with the eight relievers available as the club has an off day on Thursday.
