Triggs (forearm), who recently had an MRI, is experiencing irritation of his radial nerve as a result of a right triceps strain, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The further clarification comes from A's head trainer Nick Paparesta, and it helps explain why Triggs was feeling numbness in three fingers during his start last Thursday against the Blue Jays. Triggs will soon be examined by team orthopedist Will Workman as well, which should help provide further insight into his recovery process.

Triggs (forearm) has already had an MRI, but manager Bob Melvin confirmed the results have yet to be read, Susan Slusser of SFGate.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Triggs was placed on the disabled list Friday after experiencing nerve-related discomfort in three of his fingers during a start against the Blue Jays on Thursday. The exact results of the MRI should be revealed sometime in the coming days, at which point there should be a better read on a potential return date.

Triggs (forearm) was put on the 10-day disabled list Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Triggs was removed from Thursday's outing due to right forearm nerve discomfort, and although he was scheduled to undergo an MRI on Friday, there hasn't been any word on the results at this time. Expect an update on his status in the coming days since this placement doesn't really tell us anything, as it was highly likely that Triggs would miss his upcoming start following this injury.

Triggs will return to Oakland to undergo an MRI on his right forearm, Julian McWilliams of The Athletic Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
The fact that the injury is to his throwing arm makes this test more ominous. Triggs was removed from his start in the third inning Thursday after it appeared to be shaking the forearm after throwing a pitch.

Triggs was forced to exit his Thursday start due to right forearm nerve discomfort, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's an update from the previous report of him leaving the outing in the third inning. The Athletics will provide more details in the near future, though it's safe to think the injury to his throwing arm will cost Triggs at least one turn in the rotation.

Triggs (undisclosed) was removed from his Thursday start against the Blue Jays in the third inning with an apparent injury, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Slusser, the right-hander didn't show major signs of discomfort but appeared to be shaking his right forearm after a pitch before leaving during a Justin Smoak at-bat. Santiago Casilla took his place and retired Smoak to end the frame. Expect the Athletics to provide an update sometime after the conclusion of this contest, if not earlier.

Triggs allowed six runs on six hits in 4.1 innings Saturday against the Yankees. He struck out six and walked four in the no decision.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees got to Triggs early and often. Gary Sanchez and Aaron Hicks hit back-to-back homers in the second inning. In the fifth, Aaron Judge hit a two-run shot and Triggs was removed after allowing two more baserunners, both of whom eventually scored. Triggs' ERA now stands at 5.31 on the season. In five of his eight starts, he's allowed two or fewer runs, but in the other three he's failed to get out of the fifth inning while allowing at least four runs. He'll look to get back on track Thursday in Toronto.

Triggs (3-1) allowed one run on two hits while striking out nine across seven innings as he picked up the win Sunday against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Triggs was able to bounce back with his third win of the season after suffering a loss in his last outing against Seattle. He struck out a season-high nine batters and made just one mistake to Pedro Alvarez, who hit a solo home run in the second inning. Following Sunday's matchup, Triggs has accrued a 4.41 ERA and 1.21 WHIP which he'll look to improve upon in his next scheduled start.

Triggs (2-1) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Triggs wasn't in command in this one, as he also threw a wild pitch and hit a batter. The righty has a bloated 5.20 ERA -- largely as a result of two poor starts -- but a .313 BABIP by opposing hitters and a 4.26 FIP suggest he's been pitching better than the results are showing. He's in line for a more favorable matchup next time out, against the Orioles on Sunday.

Triggs (2-0) got the win Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Triggs allowed six earned and didn't make it out of the second inning his last time out, so this was a much needed bounce back effort. The six innings were the most he's tossed all year and he likely could've gone even deeper, as he had just 81 pitches when he was pulled. The six-run implosion is keeping the ERA at a bloated 4.70, but the 29-year-old has allowed either one or two runs in each of his other four starts this year. Triggs lines up to take on the Mariners in Seattle his next start next Tuesday.
