The Athletics outrighted Junk to Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday. Junk will remain in the Oakland organization after he was recently designated for assignment for a third time this season. The 28-year-old right-hander has made six appearances at the big-league level in 2024 between Milwaukee and Oakland, logging a 14.62 ERA and 3.25 WHIP in eight innings.

The Athletics designated Junk for assignment Thursday. Junk's lone appearance for the Athletics went as poorly as it could possibly go, as he was walloped for seven runs without recording an out in Wednesday's loss to the Mariners. He'll be replaced on the roster by Brady Basso.

The Athletics claimed Junk off waivers from the Astros on Saturday. Junk never appeared in a game for the Astros, and he was designated for assignment Thursday after posting a 6.14 ERA and 1.34 WHIP through 14.2 innings at Triple-A Sugar Land. He'll now presumably return to the majors as he switches organizations, though Junk will likely operate as a low-leverage arm out of the Oakland bullpen. The Athletics moved Miguel Andujar (abdomen) to the 60-day IL to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for Junk.

The Astros designated Junk for assignment Thursday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Jason Heyward. Junk was claimed off waivers earlier this month by the Astros and is now slated to go through the waiver process again.

The Brewers designated Junk for assignment Sunday. The right-hander will lose his place on the 26-man and 40-man rosters due to Devin Williams (back) returning from the 60-day injured list Sunday. Junk has allowed six earned runs in five big-league outings this season but has a 2.65 ERA across 34 innings at Triple-A.
