The surgery was performed by Dr. Keith Meister. He was 0-1 with a 3.75 ERA and .195 opponents batting average in four games, including three starts, during spring training before he was shut down due to an elbow injury. 
Gossett, 25, went 0-3 with a 5.18 ERA in five starts over two stints with the A's before going on the disabled list June 5 with a strained right elbow. He did not pitch again before undergoing ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction on his right elbow Aug. 1. The surgery was performed by Dr. Keith Meister in Arlington, Texas. He went 4-0 with a 1.63 ERA in seven games, including five starts, with Triple-A Nashville.
Graveman, 27, was the A's Opening Day starting pitcher but went 1-5 with a 7.60 ERA in seven starts with Oakland and 2-1 with a 4.50 ERA in four starts with Triple-A Nashville before undergoing surgery in late July. He had ulnar collateral reconstruction surgery on his right elbow July 30, which was performed by Dr. Keith Meister at the TMI Institute in Arlington, Texas. He was recalled by Oakland and placed on the 60-day disabled list Sept. 1.

The surgery, a subacromial decompression, acromioplasty and posterior labral repair, was performed by Dr. Neil ElAttrrache. Manaea pitched the seventh no-hitter in Oakland A's history on April 21 vs. Boston.
Triggs, 29, began the year in the A's starting rotation before his season ended early due to an injury for the second consecutive season. He was 3-1 with a 5.23 ERA in nine starts when he was placed on the 10-day disabled list May 18 with nerve irritation in his right arm. He did not pitch again until Sept. 5 when he began a rehab assignment with Single-A Stockton, his only outing before undergoing surgery.
