Hunter Will Start For Harrison

Tommy Hunter, 22, was recalled from AAA Oklahoma to start tonight against the A's on Arlington

Lefty Matt Harrison, suffering from inflammation in his left shoulder, was scratched Friday from his scheduled start against Oakland, in game one of Friday's double header in Arlington.
 
Tommy Hunter, 22, has been recalled from Class-AAA Oklahoma to take the start.
 
Hunter was 0-2 in three starts last season, with a 16.36 ERA.
 
The Athletics come to town after having a three-game winning streak snapped by Erik Bedard and the Mariners on Wednesday.
 
Texas is 5-5 in their last 10 games after being swept by the Tigers in Detroit, sweeping the Astros in Houston and giving up two of three at home to the Yankees.
 
A move will be made before game one on Friday to allow Hunter on the roster; he may replace Harrison, if he is sent to the disabled list.
 
Hunter is 2-2 with a 4.89 ERA this season for Oklahoma City and AA Frisco.
