Tomko has finished for the season

It was reported on Monday that the right-hander Brett Tomko was declared to have finished for the season. He signed a Minor League deal after being released by the Yankees in August. Although he went 4-1 with a 2.95 ERA in six starts with Oakland, he hasn't pitched since earning his 100th career victory against the Rangers on Aug. 14.

Tomko told media on Tuesday that an MRI had revealed a pinched nerve in his right shoulder, which caused discomfort and numbness throughout his arm. "Tomko will not pitch again this season, that's for sure," A's manager Bob Geren said before the opener series against Texas at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.
