Career
Triggs played college baseball at the University of Southern California (USC). He was drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the 24th round of the 2010 Major League Baseball Draft and the San Francisco Giants in 21st round of the 2011 MLB Draft, but did not sign either time. He was drafted a third time by the Kansas City Royals in the 19th round of the 2012 MLB Draft and signed. Triggs was acquired by the Baltimore Orioles in April 2015. The Orioles added him to their 40-man roster after the season.[1]
On March 10, 2016, Triggs was placed on release waivers after the Orioles signed Pedro Álvarez. On March 13, he was claimed by the Oakland Athletics.[2] Triggs began the season with the Triple-A Nashville Sounds, pitching out of the bullpen in six games. On April 25, he was recalled by the Athletics.[3] He made his MLB debut that night, pitching one inning of relief and allowing no hits with one strikeout against the Detroit Tigers.[4]
