The Athletics selected Muller's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Three of Muller's four appearances with Las Vegas were starts, and he went a combined 13 innings his last two times out. However, while he's stretched out to start, if needed, it's not clear what role the Athletics have planned for him.

The Athletics outrighted Muller to Triple-A Las Vegas after he cleared waivers Wednesday. Muller has fewer than three years of big-league service time and hasn't been previously outrighted, so he didn't have the ability to reject the assignment to Triple-A after clearing waivers. Before the Athletics moved him off their 40-man roster Tuesday, Muller served mostly in a mop-up role over his 18 relief appearances for the big club, logging a 4.22 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 35:9 K:BB in 42.2 innings. He could get stretched back out for starting duty as he heads back to Las Vegas.
