MLB Note - Oakland Athletics Dull, Ryan

Jul 27, 2017 - 7:28 AM RHP Ryan Dull (strained right knee) will be reinstated from the disabled list Thursday for the finale of a four-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre. A corresponding will be made Thursday to make room for Dull, who has been out since May 20. Dull is 2-2 with a 6.32 ERA in 18 games this season. Batters are hitting .233 against him and he has held right-handed hitters to a .225 average. "This is guy who at times last year was probably our most effective reliever," manager Bob Melvin said. "So, when you're down a couple of guys like we are, he will be an important cog."
