JJ Bleday News: Optioned to Triple-A
The Athletics optioned Bleday to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Bleday has been the Athletics' everyday center fielder, but he will attempt to find his swing in the minors after slashing .204/.291/.365 with six home runs, 18 RBI, 26 runs scored, one stolen base and a 21:41 BB:K across 189 plate appearances this season. Freshly up from Triple-A, Denzel Clarke looks like the next man up in center for the Athletics.
