Jeurys Familia Designated For Assignment
2 years agoThe Oakland Athletics designated right-handers Jeurys Familia and Domingo Acevedo for assignment on Thursday. The team also recalled right-handers Rico Garcia, Spencer Patton and Austin Pruitt from Triple-A Las Vegas and optioned right-hander Adam Oller to Las Vegas. Familia has a team-leading two saves on the year, but his 6.39 ERA (7.31 FIP), 2.05 WHIP and 13 walks in 12 2/3 relief innings were just too much for the A's to stomach. The 33-year-old right-hander will now be looking to join another organization as relief depth, but he'll probably have to settle for a minor-league deal elsewhere. Familia has 127 career saves in 12 big-league seasons, but he hasn't had more than two saves in a season since 2018.
