Trayce Thompson, Klay’s brother, to join A’s on Saturday

ANAHEIM - Trayce Thompson’s arrival in green and gold will wait one more day, with the outfielder scheduled to join the team Saturday at Angel Stadium.

The delay is likely in order to give the A’s the leeway to send out starter Daniel Gossett - Friday night’s starter against the Angels. Gossett is in the rotation because of injuries to Jharel Cotton and Paul Blackburn; it’s likely that Trevor Cahill will take that turn in the rotation the next time the A’s need a fifth starter, which is April 17.

Thompson, the brother of Warriors guard Klay Thompson, is not likely to start in the series at Anaheim because the team will not face any left-handers.
