Athletics' Zach Neal: Outrighted off 40-man roster

Oakland outrighted Neal to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Neal passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment. He will remain part of the organization for now but can elect to become a free agent. The 34-year-old right-hander struggled to a 6.67 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 25:14 K:BB over 27 innings of work this season with the Athletics.
