The Oakland A's have lost yet another piece from a big trade with the Atlanta Braves
The Oakland A's announced that right-hander Freddy Tarnok has been claimed off waivers by the Philadelphia Phillies. Tarnok is the second player now in Philadelphia that was part of a recent big trade between the A's and Atlanta Braves, joining outfielder Cristian Pache.
Tarnok has been battling injuries for most of his tenure with the A's, undergoing hip surgery in August of last year. The 25-year-old began his rehab assignment with the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators on May 8, so a decision about what to do with him was looming as the 30-day marker approached, but he also still has two options remaining, so he could have just stayed in the minors once he'd been activated from the 60-day IL.
Tarnok's transactions page does does list that he was placed on waivers, but the A's made the announcement that Tarnok is now with the Phillies.
