Oakland Athletics pitcher Kyle Muller has been named the Opening Day starter versus the Los Angeles Angels.
Muller is likely benefitting from Paul Blackburn (finger) and Drew Rucinski (hamstring) both dealing with injuries. The 25-year-old left-hander recorded an 8.03 ERA and 1.70 WHIP with 12 strikeouts and 8 walks across 12 1/3 innings and three starts last season.
Muller owns a 5.65 ERA with 10 strikeouts and 3 walks over 14 1/3 innings in spring play.
