Kalani alum Komine to rejoin Oakland Athletics

Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. — The Oakland Athletics recalled right-hander Shane Komine — a Kalani High alum — from Triple-A Sacramento today to give them some length in the bullpen, optioning right-handed reliever Ruddy Lugo to the River Cats.

Komine joins Baldwin alum Kurt Suzuki, a catcher, who joined the A's last week.

The 26-year-old Komine, who made his major league debut with the A's last season, went 3-8 with a 5.31 ERA in 14 starts for Sacramento. He was second in the Pacific Coast League with 14 home runs allowed.

Oakland claimed Lugo off waivers from Tampa Bay last Thursday. He had a 37.80 ERA in two appearances for the A's.
