The Athletics on Monday afternoon announced that the club has optioned right-handed pitcher Joey Estes to Triple-A Las Vegas:

Taking his spot on the active roster is fellow right-hander Jason Alexander, who will provide reinforcements to the bullpen for now after the club used Spence for multiple innings last night.
Estes parlayed a decent spring showing into a rotation job, surprising everyone when he beat out Mitch Spence for the fifth and final starters role.
