Lou Trivino Stats

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Lou Trivino (back) allowed four earned runs in only 2/3 of an inning pitched in his return to action on Friday in Toronto. Trivino had missed a few games with back spasms, but never landed on the injured list. The A's closer missed three save chances while away, with Sergio Romo picking up two saves and Andrew Chafin getting one. Trivino didn't do much to get his job back in this one as he allowed a hit and two walks, including a walk with the bases loaded. The good news for Trivino's fantasy managers is Romo blew the save in this one, so who knows who will get the next save chance for the freefalling Athletics. Don't rage-drop Trivino after this matchup, though he can be dropped if Romo (or someone else) gets the next A's save.

Oakland Athletics closer Lou Trivino (back) is expected to be available out of the bullpen for Thursday's game against the Detroit Tigers, according to Athletics manager Bob Melvin. Trivino has been sidelined for about a week due to a back injury. He's dealt with back spasms for the past few days, but the injury appears to be subsiding. While he's been out, both Sergio Romo and Andrew Chafin have earned saves for the team. With Trivino back, he should slip right back into the closing role for the team as Romo and Chafin continue working in setup roles. Trivino has had a strong season, pitching to a 2.55 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP while converting 21 of his 25 save opportunities.

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Lou Trivino (back) hasn't pitched since last Thursday's game against the New York Yankees. Over the past week, he has been dealing with a back issue. On Wednesday, Athletics manager Bob Melvin told reporters that Trivino wasn't available out of the bullpen for Wednesday's game and a few games prior as he had been experiencing back spasms. Trivino has 21 saves on the year and is the team's primary closer. While he's been out, Sergio Romo and Andrew Chafin have both earned saves. It doesn't sound as if Trivino will be out too much longer, though, so fantasy managers don't need to rush to find his replacement at this point.
