Muller elected free agency Saturday. Muller was outrighted off the Athletics' 40-man roster Friday and will head to free agency rather than remain in the organization. The left-hander made 21 relief appearances in the majors this year and had a 4.01 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 36:10 K:BB across 49.1 innings.

The Athletics outrighted Muller to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Because he's been outrighted before, Muller has the option to elect free agency. The left-hander made 21 appearances for the A's in 2024 in relief, posting a 4.01 ERA and 36:10 K:BB across 49.1 frames.

The Athletics selected Muller's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday. Muller was outrighted off the 40-man roster last month but has made his way back on after posting a 4.43 ERA and 12:5 K:BB over 20.1 innings at Las Vegas. 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.

The Athletics designated Muller for assignment Tuesday. The left-hander last pitched since Aug. 3 versus the Dodgers and surrendered six runs across one inning. Muller had a 3.02 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB in 41.2 frames this season prior to that outing, but he won't retain his place on Oakland's 26-man and 40-man rosters.
