Athletics' Seth Elledge: Inks MiLB deal with Oakland
Rotowire
Elledge signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics on Friday.
The Athletics assigned Elledge to their rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate, but he may not actually pitch with the club and could instead be simply building up at the organization's spring training facility after he had been a free agent since the end of the 2023 season. Once he's fully ramped up, Elledge will likely settle into a relief role at Triple-A Las Vegas. Elledge previously saw action in the majors with the Cardinals in 2020 and 2021, making 23 total relief appearances between those seasons.

Rotowire
Elledge fired two scoreless innings during which he issued a walk and recorded three strikeouts in a loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday.

The right-hander's bloated 5.14 ERA and 1.86 WHIP are primarily the byproduct of a rough outing against the Cubs back on May 21, as he's allowed just one other run across the 6.1 innings covering his other five appearances.
