MLB teams expanded their rosters for the final month of the season on Friday, and the A’s brought their top prospect back from Triple-A Las Vegas.
The A’s recalled top-ranked prospect Tyler Soderstrom and left-hander Sam Long on Friday as teams expanded their rosters from 26 to 28 players.
The 21-year-old catcher/first baseman has had mixed results in his first exposure in the majors. He was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Aug. 21 after he opened August in a 6-for-47 slump with 16 strikeouts and a .457 on-base percentage. His return to the minors lasted just eight games. Long has appeared in 38 games with the A’s this season, logging a 5.27 ERA. Long was optioned to Triple-A on Aug. 12 and made five appearances with the Aviators. Long allowed just one run over 6 ⅔ innings while he was in Las Vegas.
