The Oakland Athletics have been rather busy lately. According to Jane Lee of MLB.com, the A’s have designated Zach Neal for assignment. The move comes after the acquisition of lefty Sam Moll.
Neal, 28, has been rather ineffective this year for the A’s. He has not had much playing time this year, but owns a 7.98 ERA through 14-plus innings of work. Overall, Neal owns a 4.89 lifetime ERA.
Neal’s most recent appearance with Oakland came back in July when the A’s dropped a game against Seattle. In that appearance, Neal tossed an inning of work and did not give up any runs.
