The Oakland A’s lose Dan Giese for the season
The Oakland A’s have lost righty reliever/starter Dan Giese for the season due to Tommy John Surgery. Giese pitched in 7 games (1 start) for the A’s this season and he was 0-3 with a 5.32 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP. This hurts both the A’s and Giese as they were made for each other. The A’s needed a swingman on the pitching staff due to the young starting rotation they are using and Giese might have been the right guy for the job.
