A’s Announce Series Of Roster Moves

By Anthony Franco | June 30, 2023 at 7:53pm CDT

The A’s made a number of transactions before tonight’s series opener with the White Sox. Oakland activated reliever Kirby Snead from the 60-day injured list while recalling Rico Garcia and Jordan Diaz from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Right-handers James Kaprielian and Yacksel Ríos are headed to the 15-day IL, while infielder Jonah Bride was optioned to Vegas. To clear space on the 40-man roster for Snead’s return, the A’s transferred Mason Miller from the 15-day to the 60-day IL.

Snead is back in Mark Kotsay’s bullpen for the first time this year. He strained his throwing shoulder in Spring Training. One of four players acquired from the Blue Jays in the Matt Chapman deal, Snead tossed 44 2/3 innings of 5.84 ERA ball during his first season in Oakland. He has allowed four runs in five innings in Triple-A on a rehab stint.

Kaprielian has a shoulder strain of his own, Kotsay told reporters (including Martín Gallegos of MLB.com). Ríos is battling Raynaud’s syndrome, a condition in which blood flow to a person’s hand can be diminished, thereby leading to numbness. The return timetable on both pitchers is unclear.

Miller has already missed just under two months with a sprain of the UCL in his throwing elbow. That makes his transfer a formality, though his long-term prognosis is still up in the air. Kotsay said Miller will soon go for follow-up examination (via Gallegos). The hard-throwing rookie has been throwing off flat ground for a few weeks and will continue his throwing program pending that evaluation.

In other injury news, catcher Manny Piña has reported to Low-A Stockton for a rehab stint, according to his transaction log at MLB.com. Acquired from the Braves to offset salary in the Sean Murphy deal, Piña has missed the entire season with a left wrist issue. He underwent surgery on the same wrist last May and hasn’t played an MLB game in 14 months.

    Kirby Snead, Rico Garcia, Yacksel Ríos, Jonah Bride great baseball names! Charlie O Finley would have loved and marketed those names!

      I still cling to the possibility of Jonah Bride using “Here Comes the Bride” as his walk-up song. Just once.

      Absolutely, we’re in a heated competition to become the worst team in the history of baseball. Manfred is our mvp.

    Kirby Snead shouldn’t be on a major league roster. I don’t understand the fascination with him the A’s fawn over him.

    Every time I catch some A’s baseball lately, I end up feeling bad for Mark Kotsay. Like, really bad. Like, I hope he’s doing ok bad lol. He’s got a terrible gig right now. Probably the worst head coaching job in pro sports at the moment

      Bad news for Kots no question. He’s paying his dues right now, I think he’s going to be a quality manager

      It may be unfortunate for Kotsay to have to manage this mess. Yet, no one is forcing him to by holding a gun to his head.

        A’s can’t afford a gun. They still have 36 payments remaining on their tshirt cannon. Their front office is housed in one of those trailers you had outside of school for the remedial kids to help stay afloat before rent-a-center takes their bleachers.

      First of all, in baseball there is no “head coach”. Baseball has a manger, they are called a manager for a reason. Baseball is a slog, it’s a long season.
      Next, the manager is supposed to get the most out of players. At least to have the players play to their abilities if not improve.
      Finally, Kotsay is not doing that at all. He has no head for strategy or in game management. His bullpen usage is historically bad.
      Anyone feeling sorry for Mark Kotsay hasn’t been paying attention or maybe they don’t know much about baseball.

          You should probably pick up a dictionary. They are pretty cheap. You can even use a search engine (like Google) to look up words…

          There’s a world of difference between ‘literary’, ‘actuality’ and ‘reality’. Some of us prefer to live in reality and not in some bro culture-sports radio bubble.

          I am not sure some here understand what the 40 Man Roster is and how it works. This isn’t 5×5 fantasy baseball.

    Just a never ending churning through players until they find a few that actually belong. None of these guys look promising but at least they’ve found a few lineup pieces who are at least average on a good day like Ruiz, Peterson, Capel, and Noda and Rooker a bit better than that.

      unfortunately no future all stars on the team. Its hard to get excited about a average ball player on the team.

    the A’s are so bad right now even by the time they build a stadium in Vegas in 4 years the team will have very little in prospects worth get excited about. Don’t say they will spend on free agents because Fisher will never spend on good players.

      Are you trying to insinuate that the fine Governor, Senators, and Representatives in the State of Nevada are going to lose the bet of getting a good team?

        That is a easy Yes. This is the worse the A’s organization has ever looked. Even the prospects are not that good coming up. Unless fisher sells you get another AAA team

    A’s Owner John Fisher does not have the cash and/or credit to make a stadium deal in the SF Bay Area or in Las Vegas.

    MLB must step in and force Fisher to sell the A’s to local SF Bay Area Ownership that will keep the team in the SF Bay Area.

    It is the only viable solution for MLB and the A’s at this time.
