Paul Blackburn starting for the Oakland A's on Monday
Oakland Athletics pitcher Paul Blackburn is starting in place of Sonny Gray versus the San Francisco Giants on Monday, per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Blackburn is moving up in the rotation after Gray, Monday's originally scheduled starting pitcher, was dealt to the New York Yankees. Black last pitched on Wednesday, twirling 7 scoreless innings versus the Toronto Blue Jays.
With Blackburn pitching in the most pitcher friendly park (.934 park factor) and holding a 24.5% hard-hit rate, the 23-year-old makes for an interesting play in DFS on Monday.
