A's Call Up Ben Bowden From Triple-A
Oakland adds a veteran lefty reliever to the active roster ahead of their game against the Tigers.
The Athletics selected left-hander Ben Bowden from Triple-A Las Vegas. Bowden, 31, previously appeared in 11 games for Oakland last season before a lat strain ended his year. This season at Las Vegas he posted a 5.40 ERA with a 28.7% strikeout rate but allowed nine home runs in 36 2/3 innings. He last appeared in the majors in 2023.
