Athletics' Eric Surkamp: Designated for assignment
Surkamp has been designated for assignment by the Athletics, Joe Stiglich of Comcast SportsNet California reports.
Analysis:
Surkamp was optioned last week and with the Athletics claiming Nick Tepesch off waivers, his roster spot was needed. Surkamp posted a brutal 6.98 ERA in nine starts for Oakland and has a fastball that sits in the high 80s, so there's a decent chance he passes through waivers unclaimed.
