Sunday’s scheduled contest between the Oakland A’s and Houston Astros has been postponed due to the continuing forecast of rain. A makeup date has not yet been announced.
Jharel Cotton had been scheduled to pitch for the A’s Sunday, but the rotation will shift a day so that he’ll pitch on Monday. Andrew Triggs and Jesse Hahn will follow in the rotation.
The rainout gives the A’s a bonus home off day in a schedule that had the A’s playing 20 games in 21 days. The extra day could also give Kendall Graveman an extra day to recover from whatever it was that limited him to five innings for Friday’s contest.
