Anthony Maldonado News: Sent back to Triple-A

The Athletics optioned Maldonado to Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.

After being recalled from Triple-A on May 20, Maldonado gave up six earned runs in just five innings while striking out five batters and walking five more. The A's will now send him back to the minors to right the ship and recall Osvaldo Bido as the 27-year-old's replacement.
