Dan Straily - S - Athletics

Dan Straily gave up five runs -- four earned -- in 4 1/3 innings Wednesday in a loss to the Rangers.

Not that Straily deserved a whole lot better, but it should be noted that he had allowed just two earned runs when the departed. Homer-prone Jesse Chavez replaced him and immediately gave up a three-run bomb to Nelson Cruz. Straily has been undone by unusually poor command of late. He walked four and hit two batters today. He also walked four against the light-hitting Mariners last time out.

Dan Straily - S - Athletics

Dan Straily was tagged for six runs in five innings by the Mariners in Friday's loss.

We like Straily, but he can't afford to walk batters like he did tonight. Three of the four batters to reach via the base on balls against him came around to score. Straily has a 25/8 K/BB ratio in 21 2/3 innings for the season, but his ERA stands at 7.06 after four starts.

Dan Straily - S - Athletics

Dan Straily wasn't sharp over 5 1/3 innings Sunday, giving up three runs against the Yankees, but he escaped with a no-decision in the 5-4 win.

Straily allowed just four hits and struck out four, but he also issued three free passes, including one of Travis Hafner in the sixth that knocked him out of the game. Jerry Blevins then came on and let both of his inherited runners score. The young righty was dominant in his first start of the season but hasn't been very good his last two times out. He has a good chance to rebound next weekend in Seattle.

Athletics recalled RHP Dan Straily from Triple-A Sacramento.

Straily was just sent down on Tuesday, but he's eligible to return now that Brett Anderson (ankle) has been placed on the disabled list. The 24-year-old right-hander allowed six runs in 4 2/3 innings Monday against the Angels, but he could be worth a look in deeper mixed leagues over the next two weeks.

Dan Straily - S - Athletics

Athletics optioned RHP Dan Straily to Triple-A Sacramento.

Straily allowed six runs over 4 2/3 innings Monday in a spot start. He'll get another shot later this summer.

Dan Straily - S - Athletics

Dan Straily didn’t fare well in a spot start against the Angels Monday, getting touched up for six runs over 4 2/3 frames.

Straily did strike out six batters while walking just one, but he gave up seven hits and also hit a batter. Two of the hits he allowed left the yard, which included a mammoth shot by Mark Trumbo. Brett Anderson (ankle) is expected to be ready for his next start, so Straily will likely be optioned after the game.

Dan Straily - S - Athletics

Athletics recalled RHP Dan Straily from Triple-A Sacramento.

Straily is making a spot start with Brett Anderson (ankle) being skipped in the rotation. He makes for a solid streaming option in most formats, though he'll likely be sent right back down to the minors.
Apr 29 - 4:51 PM
Dan Straily - S - Athletics

Dan Straily will start on Monday against the Angels in place of Brett Anderson (ankle).

The A's are only expecting Anderson to miss one outing, so it will likely be a spot start for Straily. The right-hander struck out 11 over 6 2/3 innings in an outing earlier this season for the A's and holds a 0.96 ERA in three starts at Triple-A. He's worthy of streaming in mixed leagues.

Dan Straily was scratched from his start Sunday with Triple-A Sacramento.

Straily could be called up if Brett Anderson (ankle) has a setback. Anderson threw a bullpen session Sunday and is hoping to make his next start as scheduled.

Athletics optioned RHP Dan Straily to Triple-A Sacramento.

Straily posted a career-high 11 strikeouts in Friday's win over the Astros, but the decision had already been made to send him down after the game. As the clear No. 6 starter on the depth chart, Straily will be recalled when a replacement is needed at some point later this season. He lost out to A.J. Griffin for the fifth spot in Oakland’s rotation this spring.
Apr 6 - 8:47 AM
Dan Straily - S - Athletics

Dan Straily struck out a career-high 11 batters while allowing two runs over 6 2/3 innings in Friday's 8-3 win over the Astros.

According to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com, all four starters who have faced the Astros this season have either matched or tied their career-high in strikeouts. In other words, consider Houston stream city in fantasy leagues. Straily held the Astros to just five hits and didn't walk a batter. The second run scored after he was relieved by Pat Neshek. It's going to be awfully tough to send him down, but that's exactly what will happen now that Bartolo Colon has completed his suspension and is ready to join the rotation.
Apr 6 - 12:15 AM
Dan Straily - S - Athletics

Dan Straily gave up three runs on five hits and three walks over four innings Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

He did strike out four, but the right-hander served up a pair of home runs. With a 6.59 ERA this spring, Straily hasn't positioned himself well to remain in the rotation after Bartolo Colon returns. He figures to be demoted at that time, with A.J. Griffin sticking around.
Mar 19 - 6:53 PM
Dan Straily - S - Athletics

Dan Straily allowed four runs -- two earned -- over three frames Thursday against the Rangers.

Straily permitted three hits and a walk while recording three punchouts. The young right-hander has put up a 6.52 ERA this spring, which might mean he'll be the odd man out of the A's rotation when Bartolo Colon returns from his suspension. The other candidate for a potential demotion, A.J. Griffin has a 1.80 mark in Cactus League play.
Mar 14 - 6:27 PM
Dan Straily - S - Athletics

Daniel Straily allowed two runs -- one earned -- in three innings of Saturday's Cactus League loss to the Rangers.

The 24-year-old tore through the minors en route to making his major league debut last season, tallying seven starts. Straily is expected to have a spot with the A's to start the 2013 season, but there are some questions about his ceiling and usefulness for fantasy purposes. Until he can duplicate his minor league success for a notable stretch of time at the highest level, he's more of a watch-and-see candidate than a guy to target at this point.
