MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Oakland Athletics made several roster moves, including selecting Michael Stefanic's contract, placing Jacob Wilson on the 10-day injured list with a shoulder injury, and designating Eduarniel Núñez for assignment.
- Henry Bolte, a hot-hitting prospect with strong recent performance, was also added to the roster and is expected to get significant playing time in center field due to other injuries.
- Michael Stefanic, a veteran minor league hitter with limited major league success, will debut for the A’s to help fill gaps caused by injuries to infielders Wilson and Max Muncy.
- Eduarniel Núñez, acquired in a trade last year and expected to bolster the bullpen, has struggled with command and velocity this season, leading to his designation for assignment.
- The A’s have up to a week to trade Núñez or place him on waivers, with the possibility that another team might claim him given his minor league track record despite recent performance issues.
