The A’s activated J.T. Ginn from the injured list, but he will initially work out of the bullpen rather than return to the rotation, having already pitched three scoreless innings in relief. Zack Gelof has begun a rehab stint at Triple-A after missing the entire season due to a wrist fracture and subsequent injuries, with hopes of making his MLB debut soon. Meanwhile, owner John Fisher is pursuing a sale of the San Jose Earthquakes as the A’s progress on their new Las Vegas stadium, having secured public funding for the project.
