The Oakland A’s called up infield prospect Sheldon Neuse on Thursday, the team announced. He fills the 25-man roster spot temporarily opened by Khris Davis, who went on the three-day paternity list on Thursday for the birth of his child. To make room on the 40-man roster, pitcher Wei-Chung Wang was designated for assignment.
Entering the season, Athletics Nation voted Neuse (pronounced “noisy”) as the team’s ninth-best prospect on our Community Prospect List. That ranking came after a poor season in Triple-A, but in 2019 he got a second chance at that level and turned in a much stronger showing.
