The Athletics have acquired left-hander Sean Newcomb from the Red Sox after Newcomb was designated for assignment. The Red Sox will receive cash considerations in return. Additionally, the Athletics selected the contract of an outfielder, while first baseman was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained hip flexor. To accommodate Newcomb and Avans, left-hander and right-hander Ryan Cusick were designated for assignment, creating necessary roster space as the team adjusts its lineup following injuries.
The Athletics announced today that they have acquired left-hander Sean Newcomb from the Red Sox, who designated the lefty for assignment a few days ago.
The A's have also announced that they have selected the contract of an outfielder, while first baseman has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a strained left hip flexor.
Left-hander and right-hander Ryan Cusick have been designated for assignment to open 40-man spots for Newcomb and Avans.
In terms of the active roster, Avans takes the spot of Kurtz, while the club will need to open a spot for Newcomb once he reports to the team.
