A’s roster moves: McFarland activated, Kelly reinstated

Related Topics: T. J. McFarland, Michael Kelly

The Athletics announced a series of roster moves just a couple hours before their final game against the Twins, adding a couple reinforcements to the beleaguered bullpen:

A’s moves:
- RHP Michael Kelly reinstated from suspended list
- LHP T.J. McFarland reinstated from IL
- Elvis Alvarado and Justin Sterner optioned to Triple-A
- CJ Alexander designated for assignment— Martín Gallegos (@MartinJGallegos) June 5, 2025

The returns of the right-handed Kelly and left-handed McFarland should give a boost to a bullpen that has the worst ERA as a unit in the league. Things have been bad but these two arms could help turn things around quickly.
