Impact Juan was removed from the Athletics' 40-man roster in May and later released, only to re-sign with the organization on a minor-league deal.

Re-signs with Oakland Juan signed a minor-league contract with the Athletics on Monday.

Cut loose by Oakland The Athletics released Juan (undisclosed) on Sunday.

Impact Juan was moved off the 40-man roster Sunday to clear a spot for Ramon Laureano, who was reinstated from the restricted list after completing the 80-game suspension he initially received last August. Though Oakland had the option of retaining Juan's rights after he exposed to waivers, the organization will part ways with the 23-year-old right-hander entirely. He split time between Single-A Stockton and High-A Lansing in 2021 and had spent the entire 2022 campaign on the 7-day injured list due to an unspecified issue.

Dumped from 40-man roster The Athletics designated Juan for assignment Sunday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact The transaction frees up room on the 40-man roster for outfielder Ramon Laureano (suspension), who was reinstated from the restricted list ahead of his season debut in Sunday's game against the Twins. Juan, a 23-year-old right-hander who signed with the Athletics in 2017, has yet to pitch above the High-A level and has lost some of his prospect luster since Oakland chose to protect him from the Rule 5 draft over the winter. He has yet to make his 2022 debut after the Athletics opted to hold him back at extended spring training for an unspecified reason.

In extended spring training Juan was held back in extended spring training for an unspecified reason, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Given that Juan only logged 26.2 innings across Single-A and High-A last year, he wasn't going to be able to handle a full season's worth of starts this year, so the A's may simply be delaying his start to the season.

Contract selected by Oakland Juan's contract was selected by the Athletics on Friday.

Impact Juan will now be ineligible for selection in the Rule 5 draft. The 22-year-old struck out 35.4 percent of opposing batters at the Low-A and High-A levels last season, but that came in just 26.2 innings and was accompanied by a 5.40 ERA, so his eventually big-league debut is still a long way off.
