Minor MLB Transactions: 8/7/16

By Mark Polishuk | August 7, 2016 at 8:07pm CDT

Here are today’s minor moves from around baseball…

  • The Athletics selected the contract of righty Chris Smith from Triple-A Nashville, the team announced.  Catcher Josh Phegley was transferred from the 15-day DL to the 60-day DL to create a 40-man roster spot, while a spot on Oakland’s 25-man roster opened up thanks to Sonny Gray’s DL stint.  Smith pitched in relief for the A’s today, which marked his first appearance in a Major League game since 2010.  Smith posted a 5.19 ERA over 67 2/3 innings with the Red Sox and Brewers from 2008-10, and has since pitched in independent ball and also spent time in the Mariners’ and Padres’ minor league systems.
  • The Dodgers purchased the contract of outfielder Rob Segedin today, optioning Chris Taylor to Triple-A and shifting Trayce Thompson to the 60-day DL in corresponding moves to create roster space.  Segedin was a third-round pick of the Yankees in the 2010 draft, and he spent his entire career in New York’s system before joining the Dodgers organization this season, slashing .280/.357/.442 over 2331 minor league PA.  Segedin has made an immediate impact in his big league debut tonight, already with two hits and four RBI against Red Sox ace David Price.

    Commence the “Astros-style rebuild” for the A’s.
