Athletics Shake Up Coaching Staff as Emerson Is Relieved, Hubbs Steps In

The Oakland Athletics have relieved pitching coach Scott Emerson and appointed bullpen coach Dan Hubbs as interim pitching coach for the rest of the season. The move comes as the A’s, in the midst of a rebuild that has shifted to Las Vegas and included a struggling pitching staff (recent ERA around 4.9), seek to stabilize the staff with Hubbs guiding the pitchers as they chase a playoff berth.
