The Oakland A’s called up pitcher Michael Brady from Triple-A Nashville, the team announced Saturday morning. To make room on the 25-man roster, fellow pitcher Zach Neal was optioned back to Nashville. Another move will be required to clear a spot on the 40-man roster.
Brady was signed as a minor league free agent last winter. The 30-year-old has never pitched in the bigs, so when he takes the mound for Oakland he’ll be making his MLB debut. He has served as a swingman in Triple-A this year, and his numbers have looked good in 14 games (6 starts):
Brady, AAA: 3.
