Justin Sterner - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Implodes in second loss Sterner (0-2) blew the save and took the loss Wednesday against the Rangers, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and one walk in the ninth inning. He struck out one.

Impact Sterner was called upon for his first save chance of the year while the Athletics held a 6-5 advantage, but he was unable to protect the lead in the ninth inning. While the A's have a pretty wide open competition when it comes to save opportunities, Sterner isn't making much of a case for future chances. The right-hander owns a 4.66 ERA, 1.97 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB over 9.2 innings thus far.

Collects third hold Sterner allowed no hits and a walk while striking out one over a scoreless inning in Thursday's win against the Yankees.

Impact Entering in the eighth inning following seven stellar frames from Jeffrey Springs, Sterner had no trouble keeping the Yankees' bats quiet, tossing a scoreless inning to collect his third hold of the campaign. After allowing a run in his first outing of the season, the right-hander has delivered 6.1 scoreless innings over his past five appearances. He has yet to be used in a save situation, but Sterner's strong early performances have earned him high-leverage work and, given the lack of an established closer, could lead to future opportunities in the ninth inning.

Could be outside closer mix Sterner has given up four runs on four hits while striking out 12 and walking three across six innings during spring training, but Jason Burke of SI.com didn't list him as a closer...

Impact Sterner was effective as a rookie last season with 16 holds and a 3.18 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 70:21 K:BB across 65 innings, though he didn't pick up any saves, even after closer Mason Miller was traded away at the deadline. Burke listed Hogan Harris as the early favorite for saves with Scott Barlow and Mark Leiter also in the mix, though manager Mark Kostay isn't expected to utilize a true closer in the traditional sense.

Impact Sterner was unscored upon in 24 of his first 25 appearances in the majors this season but was sent down earlier this month after allowing nine runs (eight earned) across his last two innings. He could work his way back into some high-leverage appearances but will likely be used in the middle innings initially.

Opening Wednesday Sterner will serve as the opener in Wednesday's game against Minnesota.

Impact Sterner has allowed eight runs (seven earned) in one combined inning across his last three appearances, so the A's will now see if a role change might help him get back on track.
