The Athletics announced a couple notable roster moves just hours ahead of kicking off their home stand against the Angels:
The Oakland A’s have recalled right-handed pitcher Tyler Ferguson and infielder Brett Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas and designated left-handed pitcher Sean Newcomb and infielder Aledmys Díaz for assignment.

The big news is Diaz. Signed last year to a two-year, $14.5MM deal, the hope was that Diaz could be a veteran super-utility player that manager Mark Kotsay could plug into wherever the need arose while helping some of the younger position players through their growing pains.
