Mason Barnett Promoted on Tuesday
The Athletics promoted right-handed pitching prospect Mason Barnett after placing left-handed pitcher Jacob Lopez on the injured list. Barnett is the Athletics' number 11 overall prospect according to MLB.com, and his role is still to be determined. His numbers are poor at Triple-A Las Vegas this year, owning a 6.13 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, and a 10.8% K-BB% in 119 innings. The right-hander is striking out fewer hitters and walking more than he has at any stop in the minors this season. He's coughed up six runs in each of his last two outings in what has been a tough month of August. Given the role uncertainty and unfriendly home ballpark, Barnett doesn't profile to be relevant for fantasy purposes except in the deepest of leagues.
