After the Oakland Athletics’ 2-0 win over the San Francisco Giants, A’s manager Mark Kotsay was asked about some decisions in the bullpen that led to Michel Otañez earning his first career save. The answer was that Mason Miller and Tyler Ferguson were unavailable due to high pitch counts on Thursday in New York and Austin Adams is going to the IL.

Adams has been great for Oakland this season after being traded to the A’s from the New York Mets for cash, posting a 3.92 ERA in 41 1/3 innings as a bullpen player and 53 strikeouts with his slider-heavy approach.

The 33-year-old veteran made headlines earlier this week when he mimicked the Mets’ “OMG!” celebration on Tuesday night in Queens. After hitting a home run on Wednesday, Francisco Lindor appeared to return the favor with an “OMG!” celebration of his own toward both teams’ bullpens in right field.

Kotsay did not reveal who would replace Adams in the A’s bullpen, but there appear to be two options for that role.

The first option would be to simply call up Will Klein, who the A’s sent down to Triple-A before Saturday’s game. Since he would be replacing an injured player, he wouldn’t have to wait until he could rejoin the team.

The other option would be to bring back Dany Jiménez, who is currently on a rehab assignment with the Las Vegas Aviators. He has made four appearances for Vegas since August 6, and in his last appearance on Friday night, his fastball averaged 93.8 mph. He faced three batters, threw six pitches to each, got one out, walked one and allowed one hit.

The big question here is whether the A’s feel he is ready to return to the major leagues, as they don’t want to rush his return just to fill a spot in the bullpen.

On Sunday morning we will know for sure which direction the A’s choose.
