Phillies' Freddy Tarnok: Claimed by Phillies
The Philadelphia Phillies claimed Freddy Tarnok (hip) off waivers from Oakland on Saturday. The Phillies reinstated him from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.Tarnok has been on the injured list all season while recovering from a hip procedure he underwent in August. He began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on May 8 and allowed 11 earned runs in just 7.1 innings before Oakland removed him from its 40-man roster. He'll remain in Triple-A upon making a full recovery and shifting to a new organization, though a drastic turnaround in performance would likely be necessary before Tarnok spends any time in Philadelphia. Dylan Covey (shoulder) was transferred from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for Tarnok.

Athletics' Freddy Tarnok: Gives up four runs in rehab outing
Freddy Tarnok (hip) covered 1.2 innings and gave up four earned runs on one hit and two walks in his latest rehab appearance for Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.Tarnok has worked as a starter for most of his minor-league career and in his brief time in the big leagues, but Oakland may be preparing him for a relief role upon his return from the 60-day injured list. The 25-year-old righty -- who has been on the shelf all season while recovering from August surgery on his right hip -- has been deployed out of Las Vegas' bullpen in each of his last four rehab appearances. He hasn't recorded more than six outs in any of those appearances and owns a 13.50 ERA and 1.67 WHIP over his five total rehab outings, so Tarnok looks like he'll need more time to iron out the kinks during his rehab assignment before he becomes a realistic option for the Oakland pitching staff in any capacity.

Athletics' Freddy Tarnok: Uneven rehab assignment
Freddy Tarnok (hip) has allowed multiple earned runs in two of his four rehab appearances for Triple-A Las Vegas, pitching to a 10.38 ERA and 1.62 WHIP with a 4:1 K:BB across 4.1 innings.Tarnok's first and most recent rehab appearances went well, with the right-hander blanking Round Rock over one frame in his minor-league debut May 8 and then bouncing back last Sunday with a pair of perfect innings against El Paso after consecutive rough outings. Tarnok has yet to pitch at the major-league level this season as he completes his recovery from August 2023 hip surgery. He may end up needing his full rehab window with the Aviators, but there could be room for him in the rotation upon activation, considering there are three Oakland Athletics starters on the injured list and veteran right-hander Ross Stripling is now sitting on a 1-9 record and a 5.82 ERA across his first 11 starts.

Athletics' Freddy Tarnok: Starts up rehab assignment
Freddy Tarnok (hip) struck out one batter and allowed one hit over a scoreless inning in his first rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Las Vegas.Tarnok tossed only 10 pitches before his day came to an end, but the light workload could have been part of a pre-planned arrangement as the right-hander slowly ramps his way back up from right hip surgery, which he underwent in late August. The 25-year-old resides on the Oakland Athletics' 60-day injured list and won't be eligible for activation until late May, so he'll have plenty of time to build up his innings and pitch counts as he stretches back out for a starting role. Tarnok has two minor-league options remaining, so he could end up sticking around with Las Vegas if Oakland doesn't have an opening for him in the rotation once his 30-day rehab window closes.

The Oakland Athletics transferred Freddy Tarnok (hip) to the 60-day injured list Friday.Tarnok's move to the 60-day IL will make him ineligible to return until May 28, though the A's were likely always going to take their time building him back up. The 25-year-old righty is scheduled to resume mound work soon and will likely require a minor-league rehab assignment before returning to Oakland's pitching staff. Brett Harris was selected from Triple-A Las Vegas to fill Tarnok's roster spot.
