The A’s have scratched Dallas Braden from his start tomorrow due to elbow soreness, and Susan Slusser is reporting the A’s will call up Clayton Mortensen to start in his place.
Mortensen went 2-4 with a 7.63 ERA in seven appearances (six starts) with the A’s last season. In 15 starts at AAA Sacramento this season, Mortensen is 10-2 with a 3.58 ERA.
