Goes to Athletics in trade The Athletics acquired Johnson from the Phillies on Monday in exchange for Colby Thomas, Jayson Stark of The Athletic reports.

Impact Johnson has yet to find much success in the majors, putting up a 7.18 ERA and 37:21 K:BB over 31.1 frames covering parts of three seasons. However, he's a hard thrower who holds a 2.17 ERA and 40:11 K:BB across 29 frames this season at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Johnson might get a chance to pitch high-leverage innings as part of a patchwork Athletics bullpen.

Recalled from Triple-A The Phillies recalled Johnson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday.

Impact With Brad Keller likely out for the season after being diagnosed with a UCL tear, Johnson will come up from the minors to replenish the Phillies' bullpen depth. The 27-year-old owns an 8.20 ERA and 1.71 WHIP over 26.1 innings in his MLB career and hasn't been much better in the big leagues this year, conceding nine earned runs in just 11.1 frames. He'll likely be limited to a low-leverage role.

Optioned to Triple-A The Phillies optioned Johnson to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

Impact The 27-year-old righty will be pushed back to Triple-A to make room for Brad Keller's (forearm) return from the injured list. Johnson made eight appearances with the Phillies after being called up June 18, during which he surrendered six earned runs and posted a 10:7 K:BB in 7.2 innings. Although he carries a 7.15 ERA in the big leagues, he remains an option to return to Philadelphia later in the year if the big club's bullpen depth is tested.

Impact Johnson has been on a roll with Lehigh Valley this season, posting a 1.33 ERA and 40:10 K:BB over 27 innings. He's struggled for consistency at the major-league level with an 8.68 ERA over 14 outings, so the Phillies are likely to use him in low-leverage spots initially.
