Olson was called up from Triple-A Nashville on Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
With the Sounds having been eliminated from the Pacific Coast League playoffs, Olson will finally get the opportunity to make his major league debut. The Athletics are making an effort to look at their younger players during this last month of the season, so there's a decent chance the 22-year-old could find a decent amount of playing time down the stretch. He doesn't hit for very high average, but Olson could provide cheap power for fantasy owners if his numbers in the minors (17 home runs and 34 doubles at Triple-A this season) translate to the big leagues.
