Oakland Athletics infielder Sheldon Neuse has been designated for assignment. The team needed to make room for infielder Ernie Clement on the 40-man roster, so Neuse was the odd man out. The 27-year-old utility infielder has scuffled at the dish this season, slashing just .214/.273/.288 with four home runs, 26 RBI and six stolen bases over 271 at-bats. He could generate some interest on the open market, but his time with the A's is finished for now.
The Oakland Athletics recalled infielder Sheldon Neuse on Wednesday. So far in 252 plate appearances this season, the 27-year-old is hitting .227 with a .286 on-base percentage, three home runs, and six stolen bases. He takes the place of Elvis Andrus, who the team released on Wednesday, on the active roster. With experience at third base, second base, and first base, Neuse gives the A's a versatile option off the bench, though he's probably only an option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues.
Oakland Athletics second baseman Sheldon Neuse (groin) is back in the starting lineup as the designated hitter on Wednesday against Minnesota Twins right-hander Sonny Gray. Neuse is hitting second in the batting order. The 27-year-old missed the last three games with groin tightness, but he'll be back in there for the series finale against Minnesota. On the season, he's slashing .281/.346/.388 with two home runs, three doubles, two triples, 14 RBI, 14 runs scored and four stolen bases in 34 games for Oakland. However, he's cooled off in May, hitting .228/.290/.298 with no homers and one RBI in 62 plate appearances.
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Sheldon Neuse went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss versus the Houston Astros. Neuse's home run was his third of the season and he now has four RBI to go along with a .189 batting average. With utility man Zack McKinstry (oblique) and outfielder Cody Bellinger (calf) close to returning, Neuse could be the odd man out. He should remain on the waiver wire in all formats.
The Oakland Athletics will call up third base prospect Sheldon Neuse to take the spot of Khris Davis on the active roster, according to a source. Davis went on the paternity list on Wednesday and will miss a few days. Neuse is the team's No. 8 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and was hitting an impressive .317/.389/.550 with 27 home runs and 102 RBI in 126 games for Triple-A Las Vegas. The 24-year-old should stick around when rosters expand this Sunday, but it remains to be seen how much playing time he'll actually receive in the final month. Neuse remains more of a dynasty stash for the time being.
