Athletics claimed RHP Hunter Bigge off waivers from the Rays.

He’ll likely finish 2026 out as an up-and-down reliever for West Sacramento. Bigge had a 6.98 ERA and 1.45 WHIP for the Rays in 19 1/3 innings in the majors; he hadn’t pitched in the bigs since May. Bigge’s main problem is control as he has walked 14 in his big league stint and 20 in 29 1/3 innings with Triple-A Durham.
