OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) The Oakland Athletics have acquired right-handed reliever Shawn Kelley and cash considerations from the Washington Nationals in exchange for international slot money Sunday.
Kelley was 1-0 with a 3.34 ERA in 35 games for Washington. He last pitched on July 31 and was designated for assignment by the Nationals on Wednesday.
To clear a spot on the 40-man roster, Oakland recalled outfielder Jake Smolinski from Triple-A Nashville and placed him on the 60-day disabled list with a blood clot in his left calf.
