Tyler Nevin - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Inks deal with Japanese team The Saitama Seibu Lions of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball signed Nevin on Wednesday, Gaijin Baseball reports.

Impact Nevin saw his most extensive action at the big-league level in 2024 with the Athletics, slashing .204/.288/.331 with seven homers over 278 plate appearances. He elected free agency after being removed from the A's 40-man roster in November and will now try his luck overseas.

Removed from 40-man roster The Athletics outrighted Nevin to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's not the first time Nevin has been outrighted, so he can elect free agency if he wants. The 27-year-old is a career .204/.299/.315 hitter over parts of four major-league seasons.

Drives in two Sunday Nevin went 1-for-3 with a two-run double in a loss to the Mariners on Sunday.

Impact Drawing his second consecutive start, Nevin finally put the Athletics' first two runs of the day on the board with his seventh-inning two-bagger, which plated Seth Brown and Tyler Soderstrom. The veteran finished the season with hits in three straight games, but after a hot start that saw him hit .313 across his first 26 games, Nevin produced an anemic .148/.247/.253 slash line across 186 plate appearances (62 games) the rest of the way at the big-league level.

Smacks seventh homer Nevin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Astros.

Impact Nevin gave the A's some life in the ninth inning with an opposite-field blast off Josh Hader, cutting Houston's lead to 6-3. It's Nevin's first home run since July 6 -- he'd gone just 9-for-62 (.145) with a .419 OPS in 26 games coming into Thursday. The 27-year-old Nevin is slashing .196/.287/.329 through 251 plate appearances this season with seven homers, 18 RBI and 20 runs scored while being limited to the occasional start against left-handed pitching.

Rare start in Saturday's loss Nevin started at first base in a loss to the Rangers on Saturday and went 0-for-3.

Impact Nevin was in the starting lineup for the first time in a week and only the ninth time in August. The journeyman remained in a funk at the plate with his hitless effort, as he's now 2-for-17 in his last six appearances overall. Nevin offers plenty of defensive versatility with his ability to play both the corner infield and outfield spots, but he figures to continue seeing only intermittent playing time down the stretch.

On base four times in win Nevin went 2-for-4 with an RBI groundout, a double and two walks in a win over the Mets on Thursday.

Impact Nevin started on a second consecutive day for the first time since July 27-28 and made good use of the opportunity. The veteran's sixth-inning groundout scored JJ Bleday to knot the score up at 6-6, while the double was his first extra-base hit since July 28. Nevin has seen time at both the corner infield and outfield spots in addition to designated hitter this season, and his versatility should continue affording him semi-regular playing time despite his .210 average and .658 OPS across 217 plate appearances.

AUGUST 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in lineup Nevin (migraine) will start at first base and bat eighth Saturday versus the Blue Jays.

Impact Migraines have prevented Nevin from playing in Oakland's last two games, but he seems to be feeling better ahead of Saturday's contest. The 27-year-old has slashed .188/.333/.313 across 21 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

On bench Friday Nevin (migraine) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Nevin was scratched from Wednesday's game against the White Sox due to a migraine and after Thursday's team off day, he remains out of the starting nine. Considering Nevin had started in merely one of the Athletics' previous six games, his absence from the lineup likely isn't expected to Wednesday's migraine.

AUGUST 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched from lineup with migraine Nevin was scratched from Wednesday's lineup versus the White Sox due to a migraine, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Armando Alvarez will slide in at first base as Nevin's replacement. The Athletics have a scheduled off day Thursday, which should give Nevin a shot to be ready in time for their weekend series in Toronto.

AUGUST 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Doubles, scores in loss Nevin started at third base in a loss to the Angels on Sunday and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run.

Impact Nevin recorded a second consecutive start for the first time since June 25-26 and was in the opening lineup for the third game in the last four overall. The utility player laced his second double in that span and subsequently scored the first run of the day for the Athletics on Miguel Andujar's fielder's choice groundout in the third inning. Nevin has seen action at five different positions including designated hitter, and while he's offered some decent pop by belting 13 of his 35 hits for extra bases, he carries a lackluster .205/.299/.351 slash line across 197 plate appearances overall.

Joins offensive outburst Nevin went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, two additional runs and a double in a 19-8 thrashing of the Orioles on Saturday.

Impact Nevin entered Saturday hitting a horrid .059 (4-for-68) since May 3, but his bat came to life on a massive day for Oakland's offense. The infielder nearly matched his hit total over the 25-game, 4-for-68 skid, and he equaled the amount of runs he had scored over that stretch. Nevin's slump has been costing him playing time -- Saturday marked his first appearance in a game since June 30.

JULY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out of lineup Saturday Nevin is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona.

Impact For the second straight game, Nevin will be in the dugout while Armando Alvarez starts at third base. Since making his major-league debut June 22, Alvarez has gone 6-for-12 with one RBI and one stolen base, and his encouraging play over the last week could mean the rookie and Nevin split starts in the infield until Abraham Toro (hamstring) returns from the injured list after the All-Star break.

Doubles in majors return Nevin, summoned from Triple-A Las Vegas earlier in the day, went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run in win over the Royals on Tuesday.

Impact Nevin wasted no time carrying over the momentum he'd built up while toiling for the Aviators in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, lacing his fourth two-bagger of the season one inning after drawing a free pass and coming around to score on Zack Gelof's three-run home run. Nevin drew the start at third base Tuesday and could work himself into some fairly regular playing time at either corner infield spot or designated hitter if he continues to swing a hot bat.

JUNE 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Losing out on playing time Nevin is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Nevin seems to have lost hold of an everyday role in the Oakland outfield; he's now been on the bench in five consecutive matchups versus right-handed pitching. The 26-year-old should at least continue to see regular starts against left-handed pitching as a platoon mate for the lefty-hitting Seth Brown.

MAY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against righty again Nevin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.

Impact Nevin is on the bench for the fourth time in seven games, with each of those absences coming against right-handed pitching. With both Brett Harris and Tyler Soderstrom having settled into everyday roles at the corner-infield spots, the right-handed-hitting Nevin looks like he'll be limited to short-side platoon duties for the time being.

MAY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Resting during Game 2 Nevin isn't in the Athletics' lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Rangers.

Impact Nevin went 0-for-4 with a strikeout during Game 1, and he'll step out of the lineup for the nightcap. His absence will move Brent Rooker into right field while Shea Langeliers serves as Oakland's DH, allowing Kyle McCann to start behind the plate.
