The A’s will call up infielder Tommy White for Friday’s series opener against the Nationals, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN. It’ll be the major league debut for the former LSU star.
The team’s transaction log at MLB.com indicates that the A’s are also activating recently claimed utilityman Donovan Walton. First baseman Joey Meneses and catcher Brian Serven are being optioned to Triple-A, which left one active roster spot for a position player. White isn’t on the 40-man roster but can replace Brent Rooker, who is out for the season and can be transferred to the 60-day injured list.
More to come.
