The Oakland A’s finally made a roster move to activate starting pitcher Frankie Montas from the COVID-19 related injured list, one day after he took the mound for his 2021 Cactus League debut.
The A’s returned Rule 5 draft pick Dany Jimenez to the Toronto Blue Jays, the team announced Monday afternoon.
Oakland drafted Jimenez from the Jays in December, with the stipulation that he needed to make the A’s Opening Day roster and stay in the majors for the entire season or else be offered back to Toronto. The right-handed reliever was also a Rule 5 pick last year, by the Giants, and he made it into two MLB games for San Francisco before heading back to the Blue Jays.
