Brooks was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Wednesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The move clears a spot for Blake Treinen (shoulder) to return from the injured list. Brooks has been unremarkable at best this season, posting a 5.01 ERA in 50.1 innings. It's unclear if that will be enough for another team to pick him up as a fifth starter or a long reliever.
