Over the past week or so, the Oakland A's bullpen unit has been used heavily, so much so that first baseman Ike Davis pitched the eighth inning of Tuesday night's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Angels.

As a result, Oakland made a roster move on Wednesday, recalling pitcher Arnold Leon from Triple-A Nashville. The news was first announced by Bay Area sports journalist Manolo Hernandez on Twitter:

Oakland Clubhouse put together a thorough look at what Leon might be able to do for the A's. 

Leon, 26, did have one 'cup of coffee' with Oakland in 2014, though it was short: he was recalled for one day with the A's scheduled for a double-header, but didn't pitch in either game and was sent back down shortly thereafter. As a result, he's still looking to make his Major League debut, something that could feasibly happen soon now that he's back with the A's. 

Read more about Leon and his extensive minor league track record over at Oakland Clubhouse.
