Athletics designated RHP Chen Zhong-Ao Zhuang for assignment.

The A’s needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster for the addition of Jonathan Ornelas on Friday and unfortunately it looks like Zhong-Ao Zhuang drew the short straw this time. He has really struggled in 15 appearances (12 starts) at the Triple-a level this season, posting a 7.84 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and a 42/28 K/BB ratio across 59 2/3 innings. He could attract some interest on waivers.

Athletics selected the contracts of RHP Braden Nett, RHP Chen Zhong-Ao Zhuang and OF Junior Perez from Triple-A Las Vegas.

No real surprises here for the Athletics. Nett came over from the Padres in the Mason Miller blockbuster back in July and figures to open next season on the doorstep of the big leagues with a chance to make his debut at some point later in the year.
