Athletics Outright Carlos Durán

By Darragh McDonald | June 11, 2025 at 4:33pm CDT

The Athletics announced today that right-hander Carlos Durán, who was designated for assignment a few days ago, has cleared waivers and been sent outright to Triple-A Las Vegas. He’ll stick with the club as non-roster depth.

Durán, 23, has spent most of his professional career in the Dodgers’ system. He was traded to the A’s in early April for outfielder Esteury Ruiz. The A’s added Durán to their 40-man roster at the end of April.

Since then, he’s been shuttled to Triple-A and back a few times. He’s only been able to make one major league appearance, which didn’t go especially well. On May 22nd, he was sent into the game against the Angels with the A’s down 7-5 in the ninth. He got the first batter to pop out but then allowed two walks, a single and then a bases-loaded walk. Hogan Harris then came into the game and allowed two more baserunners to score. That left Durán charged with three earned runs in a third of an inning, so he currently sports an unfortunate 81.00 earned run average in his career.

He has occasionally shown some promise in the minors but that hasn’t been the case here in 2025. He has logged 31 1/3 Triple-A innings with a 7.18 ERA. That’s been in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League but he hasn’t helped his cause with a 17.1% walk rate.

Since this is Durán’s first outright and he doesn’t have three years of big league service time, he doesn’t have the right to elect free agency. The A’s will therefore hang onto him and try to get him back on track. He was able to put up some good numbers as recently as last year, when he had a 3.71 ERA and 29.4% strikeout rate in 53 1/3 innings. His 12.9% walk rate was definitely high but also miles better than this year’s control.

    And once again, I ask how much longer it’ll be before Forst and Kotsay are both fired?

    As a Las Vegas Aviators season ticket holder, what this means for me is more times covering my eyes and ears when Duran comes in to pitch. You could copy the “He got the first batter to pop out but then allowed two walks, a single and then a bases-loaded walk.” from the above story and then paste it it any story about any game he gets into.
