Struggling Athletics dismiss pitching coach Scott Emerson following 9th straight loss entering break
Dan Hubbs will lead a rotation with a 5.21 ERA after the A's dropped 17 of their last 20 games.
- On Monday, the Oakland Athletics dismissed pitching coach Scott Emerson, promoting bullpen coach Dan Hubbs to interim pitching coach for the remainder of the 2026 season.
- The Athletics entered the All-Star break on a nine-game losing streak, having lost 17 of their last 20 games; their 5.21 ERA ranks next to last in the major leagues, ahead of only Colorado.
- Emerson joined the organization in 2002 as a minor league coach, earning promotion to major league bullpen coach in 2014 before becoming pitching coach in 2017, a position he held for nine seasons.
- Currently fourth in the American League West with a 41-55 record, the Athletics sit eight games behind the Texas Rangers entering the All-Star break.
- Hubbs will oversee the pitching staff for the remainder of the 2026 season, with the club hoping this staff adjustment stabilizes performance after the All-Star break.
