Matt Krook News: Selected from Vegas

The Athletics selected Krook's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Krook signed a minor-league deal with the A's during the offseason and has since turned in a 3.21 ERA and 1.57 WHIP alongside a 21:8 K:BB across 14 innings in Triple-A. Searching for some answers in their bullpen, the Athletics will give the 30-year-old southpaw another look in the bigs. However, with 13 earned runs allowed in just five career MLB innings, Krook will almost certainly be limited to a low-leverage role.
