HOUSTON ¨C A¡¯s manager Bob Melvin revealed on Wednesday that closer Trevor Rosenthal will not pitch this year due to a torn labrum in his right hip.

Rosenthal, who signed a one-year deal worth $11 million over the offseason, was scheduled to have hip surgery in Colorado on Tuesday.

¡°He had some hip pain the last maybe week, week and a half or so,¡± Melvin said. ¡°Unfortunately, after the shoulder surgery and working his way back and starting to throw, another thing popped up and he¡¯s going to have hip surgery. So we will not see him this year.¡±

Rosenthal has not thrown a pitch for the A¡¯s this year. He had surgery to relieve thoracic outlet syndrome, a condition he was diagnosed with prior to Opening Day, in early April.

Rosenthal appeared to be nearing a return to the mound after resuming baseball activities on June 22. The A¡¯s were hoping to add the veteran reliever to their bullpen in time for the team to make a late-season push to the postseason.

However, the right-hander received a second opinion from Dr. Marc Philippon before making the decision to undergo the hip procedure.

The A's bullpen situation, Melvin said, ¡°remains status quo.¡± Rosenthal hasn¡¯t been available all year, so in that respect, the bullpen configuration doesn¡¯t change. Lou Trivino has absorbed most of the closing duties this season, with Jake Diekman and Yusmeiro Petit also logging saves on occasion.

¡°We weren't 100% sure we were going to get [Rosenthal] back anyway,¡± Melvin said. ¡°We were hopeful, and based on the way he was progressing after the surgery, we felt pretty good about [a return] sometime in mid to late August. But that's just not the case now.

¡°We'll see what happens around the Trade Deadline, but what we have is what we have right now and that's what we've been operating with all year.¡±

The 31-year-old Rosenthal last pitched for the Royals and Padres in 2020, compiling a cumulative ERA of 1.90 over 23 2/3 innings. The results were considered a bounce-back for Rosenthal, after slogging through a brutal 2019 marred with inconsistencies and injuries. His one-year deal with the A¡¯s seemed like a triumphant comeback story.

Instead, Rosenthal¡¯s contract will expire without him throwing a single pitch for the A¡¯s.

¡°It stings,¡± Melvin said. ¡°This was the final piece we brought in. When some money was freed up to be able to bring in a guy like him and you expect them to be your closer, it's disappointing.

¡°It's disappointing for him, too. He wanted to pitch for us and then when he had his shoulder surgery, he worked hard to try to come back and help us out.¡±
