Ryan Dull comes back from the disabled list today, as we discussed previously, but instead of having to make an actual decision, i.e. instead of having to piss me off by designating Liam Hendriks for assignment, Hendriks' body made the decision for the A's, as a groin strain sends him to the disabled list himself. The Aussie reliever had pitched in six games this year:

Inning	Score	Outs	Baserunners
6	-4	2	1, 2
6	-3	0	0
5	+2	1	1, 2
4	-4	1	1, 2
6	-2	0	0
8	-3	0	0

That is the profile of a middle reliever, so the A's don't necessarily have any particularly difficult decisions to make about how's going to take Hendriks' innings. Depending on how the A's feel about Dull, he might slot right into those innings.
