OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) _ The Oakland Athletics have acquired Mike Minor in a trade with the Texas Rangers, adding another piece to their rotation as they try for their first division title since 2013. Minor has struggled this year, going 0-5 with a 5.60 ERA with Texas, but he went 14-10 with a 3.59 ERA in 32 starts last season. The 32-year-old left-hander is eligible for free agency after this season. Texas also parted with cash considerations in the deal in exchange for two players to be named and international slot money.

Amend the previously-approved Planned Development District to revise the concept drawings and physical development standards. 1.05 acres of vacant land at the southwest corner of Tabor Road and Siegert Drive, being Lots 6 through 8 in Block 2 of the Siegert Subdivision. Change the zoning classification from Residential District to Multi-Family Residential. 2.208 acres of land out of the Maria Kegan Survey, Abstract No. 28, adjoining the northeast side of State Highway 30, 850 feet to 1,080 feet southeast of its intersection with G.
