The Athletics selected Ginn's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.
Since being moved up to Las Vegas from Double-A Midland on May 11, Ginn posted a 5.72 ERA and 1.53 WHIP across 72.1 innings in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. Despite his lackluster performance, Ginn will move up to the big leagues and join Oakland's pitching staff as a replacement for lefty Scott Alexander (shoulder), who was moved to the injured list. The 25-year-old Ginn has worked almost exclusively as a starter throughout his career in the minors, though he'll likely be used as a long reliever while in the big leagues.
