Bowman has gone 8-for-18 with a double, five RBI, five runs, two stolen bases and a 3:2 BB:K in four games for Triple-A Las Vegas since being promoted from Double-A Midland on Wednesday.
The 24-year-old infielder got the bump up to Triple-A after posting eye-popping numbers at Midland. Over 371 plate appearances in the Texas League, Bowman slashed .281/.378/.466 with 12 home runs and 35 stolen bases while walking at a 12.8 percent clip.
Bowman was traded from the Yankees to the Athletics on Monday along with Ken Waldichuk, JP Sears and Luis Medina in exchange for Frankie Montas and Lou Trivino, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.
The lone hitter in the return heading to Oakland, Bowman is an older second baseman from the college ranks who boasts premium speed. The 22-year-old righty hitter has a .217/.343/.355 slash line with eight home runs, 35 steals and a 97:55 K:BB in 80 games at High-A.
