Impact He's no longer part of the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization. Acevedo was effective for the A's last season but holds a 10.61 ERA in nine appearances in 2023.

Outrighted to Triple-A Acevedo cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Las Vegas by the Athletics on Tuesday.
Athletics DFA Jeurys Familia, Domingo Acevedo The Oakland A's made a series of roster moves Thursday, including designating pitchers Jeurys Familia and Domingo Acevedo for assignment.

Designated for assignment Acevedo was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact This is part of a line change in the Oakland bullpen, with Rico Garcia, Austin Pruitt and Spencer Patton all getting the call from Triple-A Las Vegas. Acevedo had struggled to a 10.61 ERA and 1.93 WHIP through 9.1 innings of relief this season for the A's.

Put right to work Thursday Acevedo (back), activated from the injured list earlier in the day, allowed an earned run on two hits over 1.2 innings in a loss to the Angels on Thursday. He struck out two.
Impact Acevedo enjoyed a successful return from the IL overall, as manager Mark Kotsay offered him anything but a soft landing when he called on the right-hander to handle a one-out, bases-loaded jam in the fifth inning. Acevedo allowed just one inherited runner to score on a fielder's choice and then surrendered an Anthony Rendon RBI double in the sixth, but he also recorded swinging strikeouts of Mike Trout and Hunter Renfroe during the frame. Given he handled a 25-pitch workload relatively effectively, it would seem Acevedo is ready to jump back into his usual high-volume role.

Activated from injured list Acevedo was activated from the 15-day injured list by the Athletics on Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Acevedo missed a couple weeks of action with a lower-back strain. He struggled before getting injured and also during his rehab assignment, so the A's might ease him back into high-leverage spots.
APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Throws bullpen Tuesday Acevedo (back) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and is expected to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas before the end of the week, the Associated Press reports.
Impact The veteran reliever went on the injured list with a lower-back strain back last Wednesday, so it's certainly a positive that he's already able to throw without apparent issue. Given his relief role and the fact he's been sidelined for a short period, Acevedo is likely a candidate for a brief rehab assignment.

A's place RHP Domingo Acevedo (back) on 15-day IL The Oakland Athletics placed right-handed pitcher Domingo Acevedo on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday due to a left lower back strain.
APRIL 13, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Placed on IL with back strain The Athletics placed Acevedo on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a lower back strain, Melissa Lockard of The Athletic reports.
Impact Acevedo will hit the shelf with the Athletics recalling Chad Smith from Triple-A Las Vegas to take his place in the bullpen. The right-hander will be out for at least two weeks while he recovers with a chance to join the Oakland relief corps before the end of April if there are no setbacks.

Unblemished ERA in spring Acevedo has yet to give up a run over 4.2 innings in four Cactus League appearances, allowing two hits and three walks while recording five strikeouts.
Impact The right-hander has been a reliable relief option over his first two big-league seasons, posting a 4-4 record, 3.32 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, four saves and 21 holds across 78.2 innings (80 appearances). Acevedo currently profiles as a high-leverage option for a team with an unsettled closer picture, and with the exception of some modest control issues thus far this spring, his Cactus League body of work seems to support the notion he's up for the task.

Charged with blown save Acevedo allowed an unearned run on two hits over one inning to take a blown save in Tuesday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Angels.
Impact Acevedo gave up an RBI single to Matt Duffy in the ninth inning that tied the game at 1-1. This was Acevedo's first blown save since taking over the Athletics' closer job in mid-September. The 28-year-old owns a 3.33 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 58:17 K:BB through 67.2 innings this year while adding four saves, four blown saves and 21 holds through 70 appearances.

Earns extra-inning win Acevedo (4-4) earned the extra-inning win with one scoreless inning against the Angels on Monday. He did not allow a hit and walked one with one strikeout.
Impact After Seth Brown tied the game at 4-4 with a two-run single in the ninth inning, Acevedo entered the game and retired the side in the 10th inning. The Athletics then walked off on an infield single, giving Acevedo his fourth win. Acevedo has been effective out of the back end of the bullpen recently with four saves and one win over 5.1 innings in seven outings since Sept. 14.

Gives up decisive homer Acevedo (3-4) took the loss Friday versus the Mariners. He allowed a solo home run and struck out two in two-thirds of an inning.
Impact Acevedo tried to keep the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, but Cal Raleigh knocked a pinch hit, walkoff home run to send the Athletics to the loss. Acevedo became the Athletics' primary closer earlier in September, but he saw a 5.2-inning scoreless streak end Friday. He has a 3.43 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 57:16 K:BB through 65.2 innings while adding four saves and 21 holds this year.

Nails down save Acevedo picked up the save in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Mariners. He allowed zero runs on one hit and zero walks while striking out one over one inning.
Impact Acevedo allowed an infield single to Julio Rodriguez to lead off the ninth but quickly escaped any damage thanks to a double-play ball in the following at-bat. The 6-foot-7 reliever then struck out Mitch Haniger swinging to end the game and record his fourth save of the season. That makes six straight scoreless appearances for Acevedo, who has not allowed a run since Sept 2. Over that 5.1-inning stretch, he's registered six strikeouts to no walks while allowing four hits.

Secures third save Acevedo saved Tuesday's 4-1 win against the Mariners, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.
Impact Acevedo faced the heart of Seattle's lineup in the ninth inning and retired the side in order on 10 pitches to notch his third consecutive appearance with a save. Manager Mark Kotsay appears to be going with the hot-hand approach at the back end of his bullpen with Acevedo the current favorite thanks to five straight scoreless appearances. The 28-year-old possesses a 3.39 ERA and 0.97 WHIP with 54 strikeouts in 63.2 innings across 65 appearances.

Gets second save Saturday Acevedo recorded his second save in a win over the Astros on Saturday, allowing one hit over a scoreless ninth inning.
Impact A.J. Puk worked the eighth inning and garnered his 18th hold despite an uneven performance, leaving Acevedo to work the final frame. The right-hander fired in all 11 pitches for strikes, settling down after allowing a leadoff single to Trey Mancini to induce a fielder's choice from Chas McCormick and a game-ending double play from Christian Vazquez. Acevedo has now generated four straight scoreless appearance after a stumble against the Orioles on Sept. 2, and both of his saves have come in the last two trips to the mound.

Notches first save Acevedo earned a save against the Rangers on Wednesday, retiring the only batter he faced via strikeout.
Impact A two-run top of the ninth inning gave Oakland a lead, and manager Mark Kotsay turned to southpaw Sam Moll for the bottom of the frame. Moll notched two outs before walking Adolis Garcia, and Acevedo was brought in to record the final out. He threw a wild pitch to allow Garcia to reach second but finished off the contest with a strikeout for his first career save. A.J. Puk -- who has been getting most of the save opportunities of late -- may not have been available after tossing two innings Tuesday, so it's probably premature to assume that Acevedo has moved into the lead ninth-inning role despite his successful outing Wednesday.

Up to 19 holds Acevedo recorded his 19th hold in a win over the Mariners on Sunday, firing a scoreless sixth inning during which he recorded a strikeout.
Impact The right-hander mustered his fourth straight scoreless appearance and seventh in his last eight trips to the mound overall. Acevedo's ERA has plummeted from 3.26 back down to 2.93 over the latter stretch, which, when combined with his three victories and 19 holds, keeps him very viable in both AL-only and mixed leagues with formats that value relievers.
