Athletics' Spencer Patton: Called up from Triple-A

The Athletics selected Patton's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday.

Patton holds a 4.32 ERA and 10:4 K:BB over 8.1 frames with Las Vegas in 2023. The 35-year-old was fairly effective for the Rangers from 2021-22 and could even find himself getting high-leverage work in the A's makeshift bullpen.
