According to the team, the Athletics have designated catcher Kyle McCann for assignment. This transaction opened a roster spot for catcher Jhonny Pereda, who the team acquired via a trade with the Miami Marlins. McCann made his big-league debut last summer and posted a .236/.318/.371 line across 54 contests. He tallied four doubles, five home runs, 15 RBI, and a 16:59 BB:K ratio. In 2023, the 27-year-old spent the entire season at the Triple-A level, posting a solid .270/.351/.474 slash line with 17 doubles and 17 home runs. Given his production at Triple-A, fantasy managers should expect the Georgia Tech product to draw some interest on waivers as a depth catching option.
