From Rotoworld: Graveman (shoulder) allowed seven runs — three earned — over three innings Monday in his latest minor league rehab start with Triple-A Nashville. Graveman, who is coming back from a shoulder strain, gave up nine hits and walked one while striking out one. He threw 42 out of 65 pitches for strikes. It wasn’t the sort of results he likely had in mind going in, but it wasn’t all his fault. He’ll likely make at least one more start before rejoining the Athletics.
Blach held his own against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing two runs in seven innings to take a tough-luck loss. It was a strong outing against the best team in baseball. He gave up a pair of RBI singles to rookie sensation Cody Bellinger to account for all the damage. Blach surrendered eight base hits and two walks while notching three strikeouts. He falls to 6-7 with a 4.38 ERA in 113 innings pitched.
