Athletics released RHP John Axford.

Axford was designated for assignment last Thursday and didn't attract any interest on waivers. Despite posting a sluggish 6.43 ERA over 22 outings this year, the 34-year-old offers a wealth of late-inning experience and should resurface before long, though he may have to settle for a minor league deal.

	2	Josh Phegley 10-Day DL Josh Phegley (oblique) is beginning a rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Nashville. If all goes well on the farm, Phegley should be activated sometime this weekend. The 29-year-old catcher landed on the disabled list July 27 with a left oblique strain. Aug 16

	3	Jake Smolinski 60-Day DL Jake Smolinski (shoulder) will begin a minor league rehab assignment with High-A Stockton on Saturday. It's Smolinski's first game action since undergoing shoulder surgery in spring training. He'll serve as the DH on Saturday. Depending on how he progresses in his throwing program, Smolinksi could be an option for the Athletics' outfield sometime next month. Aug 12
	4	Dustin Fowler 60-Day DL Athletics acquired OF Dustin Fowler, INF/OF Jorge Mateo, and RHP James Kaprielian from the Yankees for RHP Sonny Gray and $1.5 million in international spending money. Fowler ruptured the patella tendon in his right knee in June when he crashed full-speed into the outfield wall in the first inning of his MLB debut and he will miss the remainder of the 2017 season, but the talented 22-year-old should be ready to rock next spring. He was batting .293/.329/.542 with 13 home runs and 13 stolen bases through 70 games this season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Jul 31

Triggs tried rehabbing the injury for over a month, but it obviously didn't work so he decided to go under the knife. The right-hander is expected to be ready to throw off a mound in time for spring training next year. Triggs got off to a great start in 2017 but rocked in his last two outings before going on the DL, ultimately finishing with a 4.27 ERA over 12 starts. Jul 14
