Athletics sent C Brian Serven, RHP Henry Baez, RHP Joey Estes, RHP Geoff Hartlieb, INF Michael Stefanic, and OF Johnathan Rodriguez outright to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Serven spent most of the second half as the Athletics’ No. 2 catcher, hitting .175/.224/.375 with five homers in 85 plate appearances. The 24-year-old Baez, a product of the Mason Miller trade with the Padres, is probably the most interesting name here, but he struggled in Double-A and finished the year on the injured list.

Donovan Walton is not in the Athletics’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Guardians in Cleveland.

Walton has been functioning as the A’s regular second baseman down the stretch but the 32-year-old infielder will get a breather in this one. Michael Stefanic will start in his place and will bat eighth against Guardians’ right-hander Daniel Espino on Friday evening.

Tommy White (back) remains out of the Athletics’ starting lineup for Thursday’s contest against the Mariners.

White was pulled from Tuesdays’ game due to soreness in his lower back and has now missed two consecutive games since. If he isn’t ready to go for the weekend, the A’s may be forced to place him on the injured list. Jeff McNeil will slide over and cover first base while Michael Stefanic will draw a start at second base and will bat sixth against Mariners’ rookie left-hander Kade Anderson.

Athletics selected the contract of INF Michael Stefanic from Triple-A Las Vegas.

No stranger to the “replace Jacob Wilson” rodeo this year, Stefanic hit .400 in five plate appearances in an earlier appearance with the A’s when Wilson hit the injured list. The 30-year-old has hit .296/.405/.414 for Triple-A Las Vegas with six homers and nine stolen bases in 453 plate appearances.

A’s re-signed INF Michael Stefanic to a minor league contract.

Stefanic was designated for assignment and sent outright to Triple-A, and after testing free agency, he’ll return to the A’s organization on a minor league pact. He’ll need to be added to the 40-man roster if the club wants to promote him to the majors again.

Athletics designated INF Michael Stefanic for assignment.

Stefanic loses his spot on the Athletics’ roster with Alika Williams coming over from the Pirates in a trade. The 30-year-old went 2-for-5 in a pair of games after being called up from Triple-A Las Vegas earlier this week following Jacob Wilson’s shoulder injury.

Athletics selected the contract of 2B Michael Stefanic from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Stefanic returns to the big leagues with Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson landing on the shelf with a shoulder injury. The well-traveled 30-year-old figures to occupy a bench role and can be safely ignored for fantasy purposes. He’s hit .227/.314/.267 with zero homers and 14 RBI in 99 games in the majors since 2022.

Jacob Wilson will undergo imaging Monday after being diagnosed with a sprained left shoulder.

Wilson might be IL bound after leaving Sunday’s game. That would probably result in Darell Hernaiz getting a look at short in Sacramento, with Michael Stefanic being added from Triple-A.

Michael Stefanic went 3-for-3 with two doubles and a walk as the A’s came back to beat the White Sox 10-9 on Monday.

The White Sox took a 7-0 lead in a game in which the A’s pulled their regulars after two, but the minor leaguers combined to scored nine times between the fourth and fifth to pull this one out. Stefanic, who was cut from the spring roster a week ago, finishes up the Cactus League season with a .500/.565/.725 line and nine RBI in 44 plate appearances. He’ll probably be in line for a look if an infielder gets hurt.
