The Oakland A’s bullpen is struggling lately. On Wednesday they brought up a new arm from the minors.
The A’s recalled reliever Miguel Romero, the team announced. Romero was already on the 40-man roster, but this is his first time being called up to the majors.
To make room on the active 28-man roster, fellow pitching prospect A.J. Puk was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas.
The right-handed Romero has pitched in the A’s organization since 2017, and he posted strong numbers in Triple-A in 2019. Last winter he was added to the 40-man to protect him from the Rule 5 draft, and at that time he ranked No.
