T.J. McFarland - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Released by Athletics The Athletics released McFarland on Wednesday.

Impact The veteran reliever had been removed from the Athletics' 40-man roster and is now on the free-agent market after clearing waivers. McFarland allowed 12 runs over 15.2 innings this season, but the sinkerballer held a 3.81 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over 79 appearances for the A's last season, so he should be able to find a new gig in short order.

DFA'd by Athletics The Athletics designated McFarland for assignment on Friday.

Impact The left-hander spent most of May on the IL due to a groin injury before being activated in early June, and he'll lose his place on the 26-man and 40-man rosters after giving up six runs in nine outings since being reinstated. McFarland has a decent track record in the majors and will have the option to elect free agency if he clears waivers.

Begins rehab assignment McFarland (groin) began a rehab assignment with Single-A Stockton on Tuesday, allowing one run over one inning of work.

Impact McFarland has been shelved for more than three weeks with a strained left groin but has been cleared to try things out in a game setting. Because his absence has been brief, his rehab stint should be a short one. McFarland had been unscored upon in 12 of his last 13 appearances before going on the 15-day injured list.
