Athletics ink Andrew Bash to minor league deal

Andrew Bash

ATH Starting Pitcher

Player Stats

Athletics signed RHP Andrew Bash to a minor league contract.

The 29-year-old right-hander was released by the Twins earlier in the week after posting a 6.21 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and a 33/24 K/BB ratio over 37 2/3 innings at Triple-A St. Paul. He’ll add minor pitching depth at the Triple-A level for the A’s.

Adam Macko

TOR Starting Pitcher #94

Blue Jays optioned LHP Adam Macko to Triple-A Buffalo; re-assigned RHP Andrew Bash, OF Zach Britton, RHP T.J. Brock, LHP Jimmy Burnette, RHP Chad Dallas, RHP Devereaux Harrison, RHP Ryan Jennings, INF Damiano Palmegiani, OF Alan Roden, C Andres Sosa to minor league camp.

It’s the first large batch of cuts for the Jays’ this spring, but there were no major surprises in the bunch. Macko, 23, made 20 starts at High-A Vancouver in 2023, posting a 4.81 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and a 106/40 K/BB ratio over 86 innings of work. Expect him to begin the 2024 campaign at Double-A New Hampshire.
Ricky Tiedemann

TOR Starting Pitcher #70

Blue Jays LHP Ricky Tiedemann and 18 other players were invited to spring training.

Tiedemann — universally considered among the top pitching prospects in the game — should get a legitimate shot at cracking the Jays’ Opening Day rotation. Injuries limited him to just 44 innings over 15 minor league starts in 2023 before he concluded his season by taking home Pitcher of the Year honors in the Arizona Fall League. The 18 other players invited to major league spring training on Monday were RHP Andrew Bash, C Zach Britton, LHP Jimmy Burnette, C Phil Clarke, RHP Connor Cooke, RHP Chad Dallas, INF Luis De Los Santos, OF Cam Eden, LHP Brandon Eisert, LHP Mason Fluharty, RHP Devereaux Harrison, RHP Ryan Jennings, RHP Hayden Juenger, INF Damiano Palmegiani, OF Will Robertson, OF Alan Roden, C Brian Serven and Andres Sosa.
Andrew Bash

ATH Starting Pitcher

Blue Jays signed RHP Andrew Bash to a minor league contract.

The 24-year-old hurler was a 30th round pick of the Angels in the 2019 draft. He logged just 16 innings for the Angels rookie league club in 2019 and didn’t pitch during the 2020 season. He resurfaced with the Missoula Paddleheads in the independent Pioneer League this season, posting a 1.80 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 27/5 K/BB ratio across 25 innings. It was enough to catch the Jays attention and earn him a minor league deal. He’ll add minor league pitching depth for the Jays.

Caleb Durbin went 3-for-4 with a homer and three runs scored as the Red Sox topped the Mariners 6-2 on Friday.

Durbin’s 367-foot homer gave the Red Sox their lone run off Bryce Miller through five. Durbin also homered Wednesday, and he’s hit .292 with four homers in his last 18 games, raising his OPS from .479 to .609. He’s not a bad CI option in 12-team leagues now that he’s shaken off his playing time concerns.

Ranger Suarez blanked the Mariners for 6 2/3 innings, allowing just one hit, in a victory Friday.

Suarez pitched scoreless ball for the sixth time in 14 starts this season to win for the first time since Apr. 27; he was 0-1 with a 3.34 ERA in his previous seven starts. He’ll next face the Rockies in Coors, where he has a 3.20 ERA in three starts and one relief appearance over the course of his career.

Bryce Miller took a tough loss to the Red Sox after allowing one run and three hits in five innings on Friday.

Miller struck out seven and walked one while losing for the first time in seven outings since debuting last month. The Mariners will probably continue to toy with their rotation through the All-Star break, but even so, Miller needs to be regarded as a top-20 SP going forward. He has a 1.58 ERA and a 43/5 K/BB through 40 innings.

Luis Castillo

Luis Castillo gave up five runs — four earned — in four innings after relieving Bryce Miller in the sixth inning Friday against the Red Sox.

He’s not the first reliever to give up five runs to the Red Sox since Tanyon Sturtze in 2008, but it doesn’t seem totally unrealistic, does it? The Mariners are piggybacking their six starters through the All-Star break, and it seemed like Castillo would get a start the next time through after relieving tonight. However, it was already very clear that he should be sixth in line for starts, and it’s hard to understand why it’d make sense to pitch any of the Mariners’ other five starters behind him next week.

Michael Soroka, who was forced from his start Friday, will undergo an MRI on Saturday due to left glute discomfort.

The injury was originally announced as left hip discomfort, but it has since moved down a bit. If Soroka joins Ryne Nelson on the IL for the D-backs, then Brandon Pfaadt figures to get a rotation spot a little earlier than anticipated.

Jordan Lawlar will undergo an MRI on Saturday after being diagnosed with a right hamstring strain in Friday’s game.

Lawlar just can’t seem to stay healthy for any length of time. He had two hits before being lifted for a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning Friday. If he needs to return to the IL, the D-backs could bring Ryan Waldschmidt back to the majors.

Sam bachman gave up two runs to blow a save against the Angels on Friday.

Bachman was asked to protect a two-run lead, and couldn’t after giving up a two-run homer to Jonah Heim. Kirby Yates also struggled in the 10th, walking and hitting a batter before exiting and taking the loss after Nick Kurtz drew a free pass with the bases loaded. Bachman could get more save chances, but it’s far from a guarantee, and fantasy managers need to be awfully desperate to consider him an option in leagues.

Lawrence Butler homered, stole a base and scored four runs in an extra-inning win over the Angels on Friday.

Butler’s day was a kind — if frustrating — reminder of why so many were so high on his fantasy potential not that long ago. Even with his fifth homer of the season and fifth steal of the campaign, he’s still slashing an ugly .193/.274/.305 on the season. It’s too early to just completely give up on Butler someday reaching his fantasy potential considering he’s still just 25, but obviously you cannot rely on seeing many more performances like this going forward.

Jacob Wilson hit a two-run homer and drove in three runs in a win over the Angels on Friday in extra innings.

Wilson’s two-run homer in the seventh got the A’s to within four runs at 11-7. The Athletics would score the next five in the comeback win. The 24-year-old has picked up hits in his last six games after missing a month with a shoulder injury, and he’s now slashing .287/.315/.404 with four homers and 26 RBI. The flaws are pretty obvious, but Wilson certainly has his selling points, too.

Logan O’Hoppe went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer in a loss to the Athletics in extra innings.

O’Hoppe’s three-run homer extended the Angels lead to 10-4, and a solo homer by Nolan Schanuel would make it 11-4 an inning later. They did not win. O’Hoppe also singled twice to help improve his slash to a still-disappointing .244/.315/.369 with four homers on the campaign.
