Oakland Athletics starter Jesse Hahn has spent the majority of 2016 in the minor leagues. After starting the season with Triple-A Nashville, Hahn made a pair of starts for the A’s in which he pitched 12 innings and posted a 3.00 ERA. He was then demoted back to the minors.
Given the struggles of the A’s rotation, it seems odd that Hahn was sent back to Triple-A after just two games. However, Hahn’s second start came in the second game of the double-header in Baltimore, and the Athletics were forced to make a move for bullpen reinforcements after several short starts.
