  08/28/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Athletics outrighted Toro to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday after he cleared waivers. With none of MLB's other 29 teams putting in a waiver claim for Toro after he was designated for assignment Tuesday, the 27-year-old will stick around in the Oakland organization as infield depth at the Triple-A level. Toro slashed .240/.293/.350 with six home runs, four stolen bases, 26 RBI and 34 runs over 364 plate appearances with the Athletics before losing his spot on the 40-man roster.

• Athletics' Abraham Toro: Sitting again Thursday

  08/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Toro is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets. He appears to have lost hold of a regular spot at third base to rookie Darell Hernaiz. Toro finds himself on the bench Thursday for the fourth time in five games, with the last two absences coming against left-handed pitchers and the first two coming versus righties. The Athletics will return everyday designated hitter Brent Rooker (personal) from the paternity list later this weekend, so Toro's outlook for playing time will likely only worsen in the coming days.
