Sean Newcomb: Released by Oakland
The Athletics released Sean Newcomb on Saturday.Newcomb was DFA'd by Oakland on Tuesday after he allowed seven earned runs in 10 innings with the major-league team. He's been relatively successful in Triple-A, posting a 3.22 ERA in 36.1 innings over the past two seasons, so he shouldn't have trouble securing a minor-league deal. However, he would likely need to show sustained success in Triple-A before getting another chance in the big leagues.

Athletics' Sean Newcomb: Gets unusual win Friday
Sean Newcomb (1-0) picked up the win Friday against the Twins after picking off Austin Martin for the final out of the eighth inning.It was the first time in Oakland Athletics history a pitcher recorded a victory without officially facing a batter, as Newcomb was able to escape the two-out, two-on jam he inherited from Lucas Erceg with his pick-off throw. The quick two-pitch outing and win represent a much-needed reprieve for the veteran left-hander, who'd surrendered five earned runs on four hits and three walks over the 3.1 innings covering his previous two appearances.

Athletics' Sean Newcomb: To begin throwing progression

Athletics' Sean Newcomb: Makes spring debut
Sean Newcomb (knee) made his Cactus League debut in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Royals, striking out four over two scoreless innings while working around two hits and one walk.Newcomb's integration into the spring pitching schedule was delayed while he completed his recovery from the surgery he underwent on his left knee last September, but he looked sharp in his two-inning appearance Sunday. Though Newcomb could be built up for a starting role over the final two weeks of the spring, he still looks set to miss out on a spot in the Opening Day rotation. Even if that's the case, Newcomb could still be included on the Opening Day roster as a long reliever.
