The Athletics outrighted Machin to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday, Melissa Lockard of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Oakland initially optioned Machin to Las Vegas on March 23, only to remove him from the 40-man roster entirely just over a week later. With the 28-year-old going unclaimed off waivers, he'll remain in the organization at the Triple-A level as organizational infield depth. Machin struggled mightily in a limited sample of big-league action across the past two seasons, slashing .179/.264/.200 across 108 plate appearances.
