A's claim right-hander Taylor Rashi off waivers from Twins

The Oakland Athletics have claimed right-hander Taylor Rashi from the Minnesota Twins, an addition aimed at bolstering their roster for the 2026 season and potentially beyond. Rashi, 30, has faced challenges at the big league level, holding a 9.82 ERA in limited innings this season. However, he recorded an impressive 1.03 ERA in 26 1/3 innings with Triple-A Reno. He previously pitched effectively in Sacramento and Las Vegas, showcasing a strong slider with a notable whiff rate. The A's have not yet assigned Rashi to a specific minor league affiliate, suggesting he may start his tenure with either Vegas or Sacramento. Alongside Rashi, the A's also signed right-hander Matt Sauer to a minor-league deal.
