To clear a spot on the 40-man roster, the A’s transferred left-handed pitcher Felix Doubront to the 60-day disabled list. McBride was batting .188 with a home run and three RBI in 11 games with Nashville. He also walked five times for a .297 on-base percentage. The 30-year-old right-handed hitter appeared in seven games at catcher and three in right field. McBride signed a minor league contract with the A’s Dec. 24, 2015 and was a non-roster invitee this spring, batting .118 in 17 games. He made his Major League debut with Colorado in 2012 and is a .199 career hitter with four home runs and 17 RBI in 72 games in the majors over three seasons with the Rockies (2012, 14-15). Triggs was recalled from Nashville on Monday and made his Major League debut that night at Detroit. He retired the side in order in the ninth inning and struck out the first batter he faced, Tyler Collins. The 27-year-old right-hander was 2-1 with a 5.14 ERA and .214 opponents batting average in six relief appearances with Nashville. Doubront was placed on the 15-day disabled list April 4 and underwent UCL reconstruction surgery on April 12.

    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

Publicado por: Raiko Martín Como suele suceder, el calendario clasificatorio se extenderá más allá de lo programado, por lo que las capacidades en el tren a la segunda parte de la actual campaña beisbolera no se deben completar antes de los primeros días de diciembre. No obstante, a las novenas de Ciego de Ávila e Industriales ya se unió la de Granma, y a este pelotón pudiera sumarse la de Holguín si gana uno de los tres partidos que le restan a partir de hoy en el establo de los Alazanes. Los Cachorros continuaron este sábado su impresionante cierre de campaña completando la barrida sobre Santiago de Cuba, en duelo reprogramado a causa de la lluvia. En el Guillermón Moncada indómito, los visitantes castigaron temprano al internacional Danny Betancourt, mientras que Ernesto Blanco y Luis Ángel Gómez unían su talento para llenar de ceros a las Avispas. También pudieran apuntarse para la travesía los matanceros, sobre todo si logran arrollar a Artemisa en sus próximos compromisos.
