The Athletics
optioned Bleday to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.
AnalysisBleday was swapped off the 26-man active roster with another outfielder in
Colby Thomas, who was called up from Triple-A and could settle into the short side of a platoon at a corner spot with either
Tyler Soderstrom or
Lawrence Butler while also offering depth in center behind
Denzel Clarke. Though he was up with the Athletics for nearly a month during his latest stint in the big leagues, Bleday started in just nine of 26 games and slashed .135/.273/.324 with a 36.4 percent strikeout rate.
