The Oakland A’s are losing in every way imaginable this month. That means games, injuries, and now even players from the organization.
Outfielder Skye Bolt was claimed off waivers by the San Francisco Giants on Monday, the A’s announced. Oakland had designated him for assignment on Thursday to remove him from the 40-man roster.
The A’s drafted Bolt in 2015 as a prospect with great raw tools but a lot to prove. He made it all the way up to an MLB debut in 2019, getting 11 plate appearances over five games and nearly hitting a homer that instead landed for a double.
