Triggs was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Friday's short start by Jesse Hahn led to a taxing night for the A's bullpen, so they brought up a fresh arm in Daniel Coulombe and optioned Triggs in a corresponding move. Triggs was the stopgap for 4.0 innings Friday, but he struggled as he gave up five earned runs over that stretch, which ballooned his ERA to 8.00 on the season.
