The Athletics selected Erceg from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The A's acquired Erceg from Milwaukee on Wednesday in exchange for cash, and now the 28-year-old reliever will get his first chance in the big leagues. Erceg holds a 6.47 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in the minors this season but has shown an ability to strike batters out at an above-average rate. Still, it's unlikely he gets many high-leverage opportunities before proving he can perform in the big leagues.
