An A’s team that hasn’t had many games to save lost its closer Tuesday.

Kotsay said pregame that there wouldn’t be a designated interim closer while Jiménez is sidelined and that A.J. Puk, Zach Jackson and Domingo Acevedo could step in that role. Lou Trivino could also be an option as he was 22 for 26 in save opportunities last year, but Trivino has an 8.66 ERA in 24 appearances this season

Infielders Nick Allen and Sheldon Neuse were recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas and are in Tuesday’s starting lineup. Left-handed relief pitcher Kirby Snead was also called up and right-handed pitcher Domingo Tapia is taking the roster spot vacated by Jiménez. “I’m not trying to do too much getting back to where I was the first month and squaring the ball up early and accounts not missing,” Neuse said.
