Signed a minor contract with the Athletics this season and was promoted to the majors on May 5.
The Athletics announced on the 13th (Japan time 14th) that former DeNA pitcher Spencer Patton was effectively out of force (DFA). Instead, pitcher James Kaprilian was re-promoted.
Patton, who became a free agency from the Rangers’ 3A Round Rock in August last season, signed a minor contract with the Athletics on April 7 (8th) this year.
He was promoted to the majors on May 4 (5th) and kept no runs in short innings until the second game, but in the match against the Yankees on the 9th (10th), he threw 3 innings and gave up 3 goals. In the game on the 12th (13th), when pitcher Shintaro Fujinami won his first major victory, he pitched in 2nd place from the 5th inning with a tie, but he was defeated by Grossman with 2 deaths and was dropped after taking a solo. He threw five 1/3 innings in four games and had a 6.75 ERA.
