Game Thread #139: A’s vs. White Sox

The A’s will try to bounce back from an ugly game yesterday tonight against the Chicago White Sox.

The scheduled starter for Oakland today, James Kaprielian, was a late scratch from today due to a lacerated right middle finger. In his place will be reliever Austin Pruitt, and he should be able to provide at least a couple innings in what is now expected to be a bullpen game.
