Kevin Smith Called Up By A's
2 years agoThe Oakland Athletics called up infielder Kevin Smith from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday after the team placed outfielder Seth Brown (oblique) on the 10-day injured list with a strained left oblique. It remains to be seen how much playing time Smith will actually get in Oakland, but he could see some starts at third base. The 26-year-old hit just .180/.216/.302 with a .518 OPS, two home runs, 13 RBI, nine runs scored and four stolen bases in 151 plate appearances and 47 games for the A's last year in just his second big-league season. Before his call-up, he was hitting .300 (9-for-30) with a double, five home runs, 12 RBI, nine runs scored and four stolen bases in seven games with Las Vegas.
