Anthony Maldonado News: Back in big leagues

The Athletics recalled Maldonado from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Maldonado was sent to Triple-A on Monday to make room for J.T. Ginn's return from the injured list. However, now that Ginn is back on the IL with a quad injury, Maldonado will return to the majors to provide additional bullpen depth while the team looks for a new fifth starter.
