The Oakland A’s placed shortstop Elvis Andrus on the paternity list Saturday.
Players may be on the paternity list for up to three days, which means Saturday through Monday in this case for Andrus.
To briefly take his place on the active roster, fellow infielder Vimael Machin was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas. This is Machin’s third stint in Oakland this season.
- Machin, 2021 MLB: 1-for-21, 2 BB, 7 Ks, .156 xwOBA
The lefty batter is hitting well in Triple-A, in the ways you would expect from his contact-and-OBP skill set.
