While warming up for the bottom of the second inning, Anderson appeared to be
experiencing a problem with his shoulder. He was replaced by freshly recalled
right-hander Josh Lucas.
Anderson pitched around two hits given up in a scoreless first. Numerous
ailments have ravaged the 30-year-old's career -- he underwent Tommy John
surgery while with the A's in 2011 and had surgery to repair a bulging disc in
his back while with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2016. Other injuries include
his ankle, oblique, wrist, foot and finger at various times across his 10
years in the majors.
Anderson has a 7.63 ERA in 15 1/3 innings with Oakland this season.
The A's recalled Lucas and fellow right-hander Emilio Pagan from Triple-A
Nashville prior to the game. In corresponding moves, Oakland placed
right-hander Andrew Triggs on the 10-day disabled list with right arm nerve
irritation and optioned right-hander Ryan Dull to Nashville.
