Luke Hughes, who was claimed off waivers by the Athletics Sunday, is expected to get a chance to compete for playing time at third base. Jane Lee of MLB.com speculates that Josh Donaldson, who has just three singles in his first 32 at-bats, could be sent down. Hughes has a woeful .224/.285/.342 batting line in 335 plate appearances, but he's shown a little bit of pop in the minors, so it's possible he could churn out some value in deeper AL-only leagues.
