Welcome to our surprising starts series. Every week we'll be going over a few surprising starting pitcher performances around the majors to determine whether these starts were smoke and mirrors or something more. This week we'll be going over Sean Newcomb's dominance at Coors Field, and great two-start performances from Reynaldo Lopez and Andrew Triggs. These starters are definitely worth a look on the waiver wire, but there may need to be more growth before they become lineup mainstays. [...]

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Andrew Triggs pitched well but didn't get the win in Monday's start against the Rangers. He went five innings with seven strikeouts, allowing one run on four hits. Triggs had a short season in 2017 after he was forced to have surgery on his left hip. He will take on the Angels at home in his next start.

A's starter Andrew Triggs (hip) has played catch the last few days in an attempt to push his right hip and see how it will respond. Surgery, which would likely keep him out for the season, remains a possibility for the 28-year-old. Triggs started the season hot before a few bad starts led him to a 4[...]

A's starter Andrew Triggs received a cortisone shot in his left hip on Monday morning. The A's are giving him 48 hours to see how the hip responds before they will determine their next course of action. The hope is that the shot may only mean he has to skip one more turn in the rotation before he is[...]

Andrew Triggs says he is going to get a cortisone shot for his left hip strain sometime next week. The hope is that getting the shot will help him return to action shortly, possibly only having to skip one additional turn in the rotation before he can return. Triggs got off to a hot start this year,[...]

Oakland A's starting pitcher Andrew Triggs' left hip may cause him to miss more time than was originally anticipated. Initial reports indicated a strain in the hip, which would likely only cost him one or two starts. However, an MRI done on Monday showed some structural damage in Triggs' hip. It is[...]

The Oakland A's have placed starting pitcher Andrew Triggs on the 10-day disabled list with a hip injury and activated left-hander Sean Doolittle. Triggs said that his hip has been a minor issue before each of his last few starts, but he thought that he could tough it out. However, his placement o[...]

Oakland A's starting pitcher Andrew Triggs took the loss on Sunday, striking out seven but getting roughed up otherwise against the Red Sox. Triggs lasted 5 1/3 innings, giving up six runs (five earned) on eight hits and three walks. Triggs has given up three or less runs in all but two starts on t[...]

Andrew Triggs tossed another quality start on Tuesday, throwing six innings and giving up one run on four hits. He walked two and struck out four, lowering his ERA to a pristine 2.12 on the year. If not for a Nelson Cruz home run in the first inning, Triggs would have had his fifth start of the year[...]

Despite a rough first inning, Andrew Triggs pulled together yet another quality start in the A's 3-1 win over the Angels, minus Mike Trout and Albert Pujols. Triggs walked the first three batters of the game but managed to escape the bases-loaded, nobody out jam with only one run surrendered. He the[...]
