Dérmis Garcia - Pushed off 40-man rosterThe Athletics designated Garcia for assignment Monday.

ImpactThe transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for left-hander Sam Long, whom the Athletics acquired from the Giants on Sunday. After failing to win a spot on the Athletics' Opening Day roster, the 25-year-old Garcia created little momentum for a call-up by hitting .242 with a 34.3 percent strikeout rate over his 70 plate appearances at Triple-A Las Vegas so far this season.

Adrián Martínez - Lands on 15-day injured listMartinez was placed on the 15-day injured list by the Athletics on Monday with a right elbow strain.

ImpactMartinez holds a 6.75 ERA and 14:5 K:BB over 17.1 innings this season as a long reliever for the A's. It's not clear how long he might be sidelined.

Sam Long - Reporting to big clubLong, whom the Athletics acquired from the Giants on Sunday in exchange for cash considerations, was added to the 26-man active roster Monday.

ImpactThough Long has a minor-league option remaining and posted a 9.90 ERA and 1.90 WHIP across 10 innings at Triple-A Sacramento, the Athletics will have him report to the big club right away rather than joining their top affiliate in Las Vegas. Long is expected to fill a multi-inning role out of the bullpen after the Athletics placed one of their other long relievers, Adrian Martinez (elbow), on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Travis Jankowski - Sitting against leftyJankowski is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Cincinnati.

ImpactThe lefty-hitting Jankowski is on the bench for the third time in four games, with all of those absences coming against left-handed starting pitchers. Jankowski still appears to have a grasp on a strong-side platoon role while Corey Seager's (hamstring) move to the injured list has resulted in Josh Smith and Ezequiel Duran seeing most of their reps at shortstop rather than in the outfield.

Josh H. Smith - Out against lefty againSmith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

ImpactThe lefty-hitting Smith will give way to the righty-hitting Ezequiel Duran at shortstop with southpaw Nick Lodolo on the bump for Cincinnati. Smith has now been on the bench three times in four games, with all three absences coming when Texas has opposed left-handed starting pitchers.
