Zach Neal

Zach Neal will get the call Wednesday for Oakland

Oakland Athletics pitcher Zach Neal has been recalled from Triple-A Nashville.

What It Means:

Neal will start for the Athletics on Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners. He has a 2.53 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, 21 punch outs and four walks in 42 2/3 innings this season at the Triple-A level.

Facing a Seattle offense which is in the top 10 in both wOBA (.324) and home runs (61), Neal is not a recommended play today. The Mariners have an implied total of 4.54 runs, and Neal is our 27th-ranked hurler for Wednesday.
