The A's declined to tender MacKinnon a contract for 2023.

EDGE Analysis

Oakland claimed MacKinnon off waivers from the Angels in August and gave him a brief look. He went hitless in 14 plate appearances with a couple runs scored. MacKinnon put up big numbers with Triple-A Salt Lake last season (.324/.429/.631), but those numbers carry little weight given his age (27) and the hitter-friendly conditions of the Pacific Coast League.

MacKinnon was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

MacKinnon appeared in six games since being promoted by Oakland on Aug. 16, and he'll return to the minors after he went 0-for-13 with a walk, two runs and five strikeouts. Cristian Pache was recalled from Las Vegas in a corresponding move.

The Athletics recalled MacKinnon from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

He'll be joining the big club for the first time since the Athletics claimed him off waivers from the Angels on Aug. 5.

Oakland cleared a spot on the active roster for MacKinnon by placing outfielder Ramon Laureano (oblique) on the 10-day injured list.

EDGE Analysis

MacKinnon was optioned to the minors just after the All-Star break and has now lost his spot on the Angels' 40-man roster. The 27-year-old posted a .468 OPS in his first 16 big-league games and could remain at Triple-A Salt Lake should he pass through waivers unclaimed.

MacKinnon isn't starting Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
