A’s roster moves: David McKay called up, Domingo Tapia optioned

The Oakland A’s are trying out a new player!

The A’s called up pitcher David McKay on Friday, the team announced.

Who is McKay? Oakland claimed him off waivers from the Rays earlier this month, and you can click here for a full report on him. (You should really click that link, he has a pretty interesting story.) To summarize, he’s a right-handed reliever with monster strikeout rates in the minors, but only a little bit of shaky MLB experience. He is not related to Dave McKay, the former longtime A’s player and coach.
