Athletics optioned RHP Seth Johnson to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Athletics acquired RHP Seth Johnson from the Phillies for OF Colby Thomas.

Johnson wound up receiving a ticket to West Sacramento just ahead of the trade deadline. The 27-year-old has posted an underwhelming 5.51 ERA across 16 1/3 innings for the Phillies this season. He’s merely a low-leverage depth addition for the Athletics.

He has a 7.15 ERA in 11 1/3 innings this year and will likely provide some low-leverage relief help in the short-term while the Phillies try to find a new way to address Brad Keller’s injury going forward.

Johnson has a 1.33 ERA in 24 appearances (27 innings) with the IronPigs this year, striking out 40. The Phillies will try to see if they can find that version of him in Philadelphia instead of the version with a 7.36 ERA in three appearances in the bigs so far this year.

Phillies optioned RHP Seth Johnson to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Johnson has been up-and-down a couple of times already in 2026, and that’s likely to continue over the summer months. Alan Rangel is up to provide a fresh arm for the Philadelphia relief corps.

Phillies recalled RHP Seth Johnson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Johnson returns to Philadelphia’s bullpen with closer Jhoan Duran hitting the injured list with an oblique strain. The 27-year-old righty was shelled for five runs over 1 1/3 innings earlier this week in his season debut. He’s likely ticketed for low-leverage work.

Phillies recalled RHP Seth Johnson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Johnson has been serving as a closer in Triple-A, recording two saves while allowing two runs on three hits in six innings. He also has an 11/3 K/BB ratio. He should be part of the bridge to Jhoan Duran in the late innings.

Phillies optioned RHP Seth Johnson to Triple-A Lehigh Valley; reassigned LHP Tucker Davidson, C Paul McIntosh, C René Pinto and RHP Bryse Wilson to minor league camp.

No real surprises here as Johnson had an option year remaining, Johnson managed a 1.86 ERA in 9.2 innings during Spring Training, striking out eight. He’ll likely be shuttled back to the majors several times over the course of the season.
