Oakland Athletics third baseman Brett Harris is being optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas. The Gonzaga product made his major league debut earlier this season but has struggled through his first look at major league pitching. Through 36 games, the 26-year-old posted a .146/.276/.262 line with three home runs, 12 RBI, and a 17:25 BB:K ratio. He performed quite well at the top level of the minor leagues earlier this summer with a dominant .313/.429/.500 line and a 23:33 BB:K ratio, which could suggest he should have an opportunity to return to the big leagues later this season. This now opens up the hot corner Abraham Toro to see the majority of starts. Toro could be worth a look in deeper AL-only formats, as he has posted a solid .255 AVG with six long balls and four stolen bases this summer.
