The Oakland Athletics made several roster adjustments by optioning Esteury Ruiz, along with other players, to Triple-A Las Vegas. Despite having been the team's primary center fielder in 2023 and stealing 67 bases, Ruiz struggled offensively, significantly impacted by injuries. His performance this spring was particularly poor, leading to him falling in the depth chart behind younger prospects and established players. The A's are restructuring their outfield lineup, which indicates a shift toward developing new talent like Lawrence Butler and other upcoming prospects in the organization.
Esteury Ruiz was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas after a disappointing spring training performance, following a season marked by injuries and poor hitting statistics.
The Athletics have shifted their outfield focus, locking in Lawrence Butler and considering prospects like Colby Thomas and Denzel Clarke as potential long-term options.
