Logan Davidson News: Removed from 40-man roster

The Athletics designated Davidson for assignment Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for lefty Ben Bowden, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday. He was a first-round pick back in 2019 but hasn't developed as hoped, slashing .263/.412/.397 in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League this season as a 27-year-old. Davidson offers some positional versatility and is still young enough that he might draw some interest on waivers.
