Brady was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Athletics recently added another long-relief option to their bullpen after Chris Smith was pushed out of the rotation, so Brady was rendered a bit redundant. The right-hander likely wouldn't have been available until the weekend anyway after he covered six frames in long relief Tuesday after starter Sean Manaea lasted just three innings.

Brady gave up four earned runs on five hits, three walks and a wild pitch over six innings in Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the Giants. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

After starter Sean Manaea threw 70 pitches over three innings, Brady was called upon to eat up multiple frames and give the fatigued Oakland bullpen some relief. He managed to go the distance despite giving up a pair of home runs, while firing 72 pitches overall. Just called back up from Triple-A Nashville on Monday, Brady can serve in a multi-inning relief capacity when necessary and make spot starts in a pinch, although it's uncertain how long his current stint with the big-league club might last.

Brady was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Two roster spots opened up with Sonny Gray and Adam Rosales both traded prior to Monday's deadline, and Brady will return to fill one of those. Brady has enjoyed a good deal of success at Triple-A and in the majors this year, but the A's will need to clear a roster spot for Kendall Graveman (shoulder) relatively soon, and it's possible Brady will head back at that point.

Brady was demoted to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Brady was solid in seven games, as he recorded a 3.18 ERA and 1.15 WHIP over 11.1 innings. He has options remaining and will likely be up-and-down to eat innings in the back of Oakland's bullpen for the rest of the season.

Brady gave up an earned run on three hits and two walks over two innings in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Astros. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old has been serviceable since his first appearance on June 20, working multiple innings on a pair of occasions and generating a solid 8:2 K:BB over 8.1 frames across five appearances overall. Having logged 40 career minor-league starts, Brady is able to fill a long-relief role when called upon, making him a valuable commodity on a team whose starting rotation has been inconsistent.

Brady gave up an earned run on a solo home run over one inning in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Brady's one mistake over his 13 pitches resulted in a 395-foot solo homer by Carlos Beltran, blemishing the 30-year-old's major-league debut. The right-hander has an extensive minor-league career that dates back to 2013 and consists of multiple stints at the Double-A and Triple-A levels. That resume includes 40 starts, although he's expected to remain a bullpen fixture with Oakland.

Brady's contract was selected by the A's on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The club optioned fellow right-hander Zach Neal back to Triple-A Nashville to clear a spot for Brady. Over 14 appearances with Nashville this season, Brady has notched a 3.67 ERA to go with a strong 0.97 WHIP across 41.2 innings. This will mark his first stint with the big=league club.

Angels sent RHP Michael Brady outright to Triple-A Salt Lake. The veteran right-hander has already been pitching at Salt Lake, this move just removes him from the 40-man roster. In 26 1/3 innings this season he has posted a troublesome 7.18 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 23/13 K/BB ratio.

Angels claimed RHP Michael Brady off waivers from the Marlins. Brady is 27 and has never pitched above Double-A, but it's hard to argue with the results he's put up. The right-hander boasts a 2.18 ERA and 225/31 K/BB ratio over 198 career relief innings in the minors. He's worth a shot by the Angels.

Marlins designated RHP Michael Brady for assignment. The 27-year-old hurler was unable to secure a spot in the Marlins Opening Day bullpen, and must now be exposed to waivers. He had a terrific season at Double-A Jacksonville in 2013, compiling a 1.53 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 55/9 K/BB ratio in 53 innings.
