Athletics' Kyle Muller: Outrighted off 40-man roster
The Oakland Athletics outrighted Kyle 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.

Athletics' Kyle Muller: Comes off IL
The Oakland Athletics reinstated Kyle Muller (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.Muller had been on the shelf since May 30 with left shoulder tendinitis but will rejoin Oakland after completing four rehab appearances with Triple-A Las Vegas. The southpaw covered three innings and tossed 61 pitches in his final outing for Las Vegas on Saturday, so the Athletics would presumably prefer not to use him in Sunday's series finale with the Orioles. Left-hander Jack O'Loughlin was optioned to Las Vegas in a corresponding move.

Athletics' Kyle Muller: Allows run in second rehab outing
Kyle Muller (shoulder) allowed an earned run on two hits and two walks over 1.1 innings in a relief appearance for Triple-A Las Vegas against Sacramento on Friday. He struck out one.Muller's second rehab outing didn't go quite as smoothly as his first, when he fired a scoreless frame against the River Cats on Tuesday. Nevertheless, the veteran southpaw was able to work up to 31 pitches, and although he located only 17 for strikes, he seemingly corroborated his shoulder is capable of handling a normal relief workload. Consequently, Muller may not be much longer for his rehab assignment, with the potential to be activated at some point in the coming days if he doesn't experience any residual effects from Friday's volume.
