Will Klein Designated For Assignment
According to the team, the Athletics have designated right-handed pitcher Will Klein for assignment. This transaction opened the roster spot for right-handed pitcher Jose Leclerc, who the team signed earlier on Friday. Klein was considered the No.16 best prospect on the team before being designated for assignment. The 25-year-old made his big league debut last summer but struggled as he allowed nine earned runs across his first seven 1/3 frames of work. However, he did strike out seven batters. Across 43 innings at the Triple-A level last summer, Klein posted a 3.77 ERA and a 1.43 WHI. He struck out 43 batters but struggled with his command as he served up 32 walks. If Klein finds a suitor, he will likely open the campaign at the Triple-A level.
