Kaprielian was recalled from the Athletics' alternate training site Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Although Kaprielian began spring training in major-league camp, he's yet to appear in any regular-season games in the majors. He'll join the Athletics' bullpen to take the place of Jordan Weems (lat), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. The right-handed Kaprielian returned to the mound in 2019 after missing two seasons. He posted a 3.18 ERA and 75:16 K:BB over 68 innings across 19 appearances (16 starts) in the minors last year. Given the stability of Oakland's late-game arms, Kaprielian should pitch mainly in lower-leverage scenarios.
