He was on the Dodgers, not Rangers.

He was on the Dodgers for one game. As the story says, he was with the Rangers in 2013-14.

The guy was throwing in the high 80’s and they allowed him to face the Pirates and then release him? Now they have no starter for Wednesday’s game. What great rotation planning with or without injuries.

Brock Stewart has already been called up, so he is likely to start Wednesday. Yet another hunk of raw meat.

Who? Brock Stewart? Kid is only 24 and has been lighting up the Minors.
Nick Tepesch is definitely fodder, though – if that’s who you mean. Not sure what the Dodgers were thinking.

Tepesch was also having a good run in Triple-A when they called him up. Stewart basically came out of nowhere to get the call. Difficult to not see this rapid elevation as premature and at least a little desperate.

Surkamp lowered the bar so low that there is no doubt Tepesch will do better. All he needs to do is get through 5 innings and he does a better job.

doubt he’ll do that…..

Tepesch has to be an upgrade from Surkamp. The A’s have an entire legitimate major league starting rotation on the DL. Henderson Alvarez may never play for them at this rate. They’re playing a little better lately and Reddick and Manaea will be back soon, so this next month will determine if they can get back into the wild card race — you never know what the A’s are going to do.
