Athletics Roster Shuffle and Prospects | Oakland Athletics News
Description
The A’s make bold moves this week, bringing in hot-hitting infielder Jonathan Ornelas from Triple-A Las Vegas—where he’s crushing it with a .400+ average—to fill a roster spot. To make room, Colby Thomas heads back to the minors after a rough stretch (.150 avg. in 29 games), while pitcher Chen Zhong-Ao Zhuang is DFA’d after a disastrous Triple-A stint (ERA near 8.0). Ornelas, a versatile defender and power hitter (11 HR, 46 RBI in 81 games), could be key now; Thomas gets a reset chance; Zhuang’s fate hangs in waivers. The A’s are juggling present needs with future potential—baseball’s constant dance of now vs. later.
