Anthony Maldonado Designated For Assignment
According to Martin Gallegos of MLB.com, the Athletics have designated right-handed pitcher Anthony Maldonado for assignment. This transaction opened the roster spot for right-handed pitcher Elvis Alvarado, who the team claimed off waivers earlier on Thursday. Prior to the designation, Maldonado was ranked as the No. 21 prospect in the Athletics system on MLB.com. The former 11th-round selection made his big league debut last season and held a 5.68 ERA with a 1.47 WHIP across 19 innings. He struck out 11 batters. He generated a 3.62 xERA, which suggests he should see some positive regression when he returns to the major leagues. In 46 1/3 innings at the Triple-A level last summer, Maldonado posted a 4.66 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP. Maldonado will likely open the 2025 season at the Triple-A level.
