Outfielder Jaycob Brugman is set for his first major league call-up and will join the A's on Friday against Tampa Bay, a source confirmed to NBC Sports California.
The 25-year-old Brugman, who throws and hits left-handed, is batting .288 with one home run and eight RBI for Triple-A Nashville. The start to his season was delayed by a leg injury.
The move has not been announced, nor is it known what the corresponding roster move would be. Right fielder Matt Joyce has been out of the lineup the past couple of games with a quadriceps issue, but he pinch hit Wednesday against Toronto.
