Padres claimed RHP Neil Wagner off waivers from the Athletics; assigned him to Triple-A Tucson. Wagner was waived by the A's after registering a 5.49 ERA and 1.32 WHIP across 19 2/3 innings at the Triple-A level. The 28-year-old right-hander is doubtful to suddenly find success in the San Diego system.

Athletics optioned RHP Neil Wagner to Triple-A Sacramento. A short lived stay for Wagner with the big club, he was sent back down in order to clear a roster spot for Rich Thompson who was claimed off waivers. He'll continue to serve as bullpen depth in Triple-A and will likely be back in Oakland before the end of the season.

Updating a previous item, the Athletics have not called up Neil Wagner from Triple-A Sacramento. Wagner was on the original lineup card, but Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that he is no longer listed.

Wagner, 27, posted a 3.26 ERA and 87/23 K/BB ratio this season between Double-A Midland and Triple-A Sacramento. He'll pitch in middle relief.

The A's are expected to promote Neil Wagner from Triple-A Sacramento before Tuesday's game. Wagner has posted a cool 3.10 ERA and 34/10 K/BB ratio in 29 innings of relief this year at Sacramento. The 27-year-old right-hander will be making his major league debut and should do well in a middle relief role.
