The struggling Athletics on Monday dismissed pitching coach Scott Emerson.

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The struggling Athletics on Monday dismissed pitching coach Scott Emerson. The team announced bullpen coach Dan Hubbs will serve as interim pitching coach for the remainder of the season.

Sunday's 9-1 loss at the Chicago White Sox left the Athletics with a nine-game losing streak entering the all-star break. The Athletics' 5.21 ERA ranks next to last in the major leagues, ahead of only Colorado's 5.44. At 41-55, the Athletics are fourth in the AL West.

Emerson joined the Athletics in 2014 as bullpen coach and was promoted to pitching coach in 2017.
