Moves to minor-league camp The Athletics optioned Cusick to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Impact Cusick was one of 13 players the Athletics reassigned or optioned to minor-league camp Monday in the club's latest round of roster cuts. The Athletics added the 25-year-old right-hander to their 40-man roster in November following a 2024 season in which he compiled a 4.66 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 66:40 K:BB over 63.2 innings across three minor-league stops. Cusick made 28 of his 31 appearances at Double-A Midland in 2024, but he should see the bulk of his innings with Las Vegas during the upcoming season.

Added to 40-man roster The Athletics selected Cusick's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Cusick didn't have a great 2024 season, posting a 4.90 ERA and 65:37 K:BB over 60.2 frames between Double-A Midland and Las Vegas. The 25-year-old did pitch better after being moved to the bullpen in the second half (2.78 ERA, 35:18 K:BB in 32.1 innings) and it would appear his future is as a reliever.
