Acevedo cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Las Vegas by the Athletics on Tuesday. He's no longer part of the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization. Acevedo was effective for the A's last season but holds a 10.61 ERA in nine appearances in 2023.

Acevedo was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. This is part of a line change in the Oakland bullpen, with Rico Garcia, Austin Pruitt and Spencer Patton all getting the call from Triple-A Las Vegas. Acevedo had struggled to a 10.61 ERA and 1.93 WHIP through 9.1 innings of relief this season for the A's.

Acevedo (back), activated from the injured list earlier in the day, allowed an earned run on two hits over 1.2 innings in a loss to the Angels on Thursday. He struck out two. Manager Mark Kotsay offered Acevedo anything but a soft landing when he called on the right-hander to handle a one-out, bases-loaded jam in the fifth inning. Acevedo allowed just one inherited runner to score on a fielder's choice and then surrendered an Anthony Rendon RBI double in the sixth, but he also recorded swinging strikeouts of Mike Trout and Hunter Renfroe during the frame. Given he handled a 25-pitch workload relatively effectively, it would seem Acevedo is ready to jump back into his usual high-volume role.

Acevedo was activated from the 15-day injured list by the Athletics on Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Acevedo missed a couple weeks of action with a lower-back strain. He struggled before getting injured and also during his rehab assignment, so the A's might ease him back into high-leverage spots.

Acevedo (back) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and is expected to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas before the end of the week, the Associated Press reports. The veteran reliever went on the injured list with a lower-back strain back last Wednesday, so it's certainly a positive that he's already able to throw without issue. Given his relief role and the fact he's been sidelined for a short period, Acevedo is a likely candidate for a brief rehab assignment.
