Rangers' Eric Surkamp: Claimed by Rangers
Eric Surkamp was claimed by the Texas Rangers on Wednesday, the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser reports.He was designated for assignment by the Athletics earlier in the week for obvious reasons after posting a 6.98 ERA in nine starts. The Rangers are about as desperate as any team for immediate starting pitching depth, given their recent run of injuries, but it's hard to envision Surkamp turning into a useful fantasy option anytime soon.

Athletics' Eric Surkamp: Designated for assignment
Eric Surkamp was designated for assignment by the Oakland Athletics on Monday, Joe Stiglich of CSN California reports.Surkamp was optioned last week, and with the Athletics claiming Nick Tepesch off waivers, his roster spot was needed. He posted a brutal 6.98 ERA in nine starts for Oakland and has a fastball that sits in the high 80s, so there's a decent chance he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Athletics' Eric Surkamp: Struggles through another outing Friday
Eric Surkamp has another poor outing on Friday night allowing five hits, four runs (only two earned) and two walks over only 3.2 innings.The outing actually lowered Surkamp's ERA under 7.00 for the season to go along with his brutal 1.97 WHIP. Surkamp has managed to make nine starts for the A's due to the extreme number of injuries in the rotation, but has done to make the A's want to keep him in the role and should be the first starter pushed out of the rotation when Sean Manaea and/or Rich Hill return.

Athletics' Eric Surkamp: Named Friday's starter
Eric Surkamp will start Friday against the Angels, Joe Stiglich of CSN California reports.The lefty has been tabbed as the starter for Game 2 of the Angels series but will be on normal rest thanks to Monday's team off day. Surkamp tossed six innings of two-run ball against the Angels in his last start -- his first quality start in eight turns season -- but didn't get any run support and thus fell to 0-5 on the year. He has struck out one more batter (20) than he's walked (19) in 35 innings with the A's.

Athletics' Eric Surkamp: Has terrible outing Tuesday against the Rangers
Sukramp was brutal on Tuesday night, allowing seven earned runs over only 2.1 innings, raising his ERA to 8.07.Eric Surkamp has been one of the worst pitchers in baseball this season, but seems to find a way back to starting games for he A's due to their multitude of injuries. Along with his bloated ERA, Surkamp also features an ugly 15:17 strikeout to walk ratio over his 29 innings. The A's will likely search for another option to start in five days, but if they cannot find one, Surkamp would take the mound Sunday against the Angels.

Athletics' Eric Surkamp: Recalled Tuesday
Eric Surkamp was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.Surkamp was penciled in to draw the start against the Rangers on Tuesday, so the move doesn't come as much of a surprise. With Rich Hill (groin) and Sean Manaea (arm) on the disabled list, Surkamp could stick around in the major league rotation for the foreseeable future. The lefty has struggled to the tune of a 6.41 ERA in six starts with the big league club this season, but he's been better in the minors with a 3.07 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in five starts at the Triple-A level.

Athletics' Eric Surkamp: Will make start Tuesday
Eric Surkamp will be recalled from Triple-A Nashville to start Tuesday's game against the Rangers, John Shea of The San Francisco Chronicle reports.With the Oakland Athletics placing Rich Hill (groin) on the DL and sending Jesse Hahn to Triple-A last week, Surkamp will claim one of the open spots in the rotation, at least temporarily. Surkamp has been lit up to the tune of a 6.41 ERA and 1.95 WHIP over his previous six starts with the A's this season, so it will be difficult to use him with much confidence Tuesday, especially in a matchup against a powerful Rangers attack.
