The Oakland A’s have added another name to the mix as they rebuild their pitching staff.
The A’s signed swingman Austin Pruitt to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training, the team announced Sunday.
The right-handed Pruitt has a fair bit of MLB experience, tossing around 200 innings for the Rays from 2017-19, but he’s been limited by injury since then. A hairline fracture in his elbow cost him the short 2020 season and required surgery, and he didn’t return to action until last July, as a member of the Astros.
