The Athletics announced today that right-hander , who was designated for a signment a few days ago, has cleared waivers and been sent T.J. Leaf Jersey outright to Triple-A Las Vegas. Hell stick with the club as non-roster depth. Durn, 23, has spent most of his profe sional career in the Dodgers system. He was traded to the As in early April for outfielder . The As added Durn to their 40-man roster at the end of April. Since then, hes been shuttled to Triple-A and back a few times. Hes only been able to make one major league appearance, which didnt go especially well. On May 22nd, he was sent into the game against the Angels with the As down 7-5 in the ninth. He got the first batter to pop out but then allowed two walks, a single and then a bases-loaded walk. then came into the game and allowed two more baserunners to score. That left Durn charged with three earned runs in a third of an inning, so he currently sports an unfortunate 81.00 earned run average in his career. He has occasionally shown some promise in the minors but that hasnt been the case here in 2025. He has logged 31 1/3 Triple-A innings with a 7.18 ERA. Thats been in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League but he hasnt helped his cause with a 17.1% walk rate. Since this is Durns first outright and he doesnt have three years of big league service time, he doesnt have the right to elect free agency. The As will therefore hang onto him and try to get him back on track. He was able to put up some good numbers as recently as last year, when he had a 3.71 ERA and 29.4% strikeout rate in 53 1/3 innings. His 12.9% walk rate was definitely high but also miles better than this years control. Photo courtesy of Jerome Miron, Imagn Images T. J. Warren Jersey
