CHICAGO (AP) — The Oakland Athletics recalled pitcher Boof Bonser from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, after he signed a minor league deal with the team earlier this month.

To make room for Bonser, the A’s optioned reliever Cedric Bowers to Sacramento.

Bonser was designated for assignment by the Boston Red Sox on June 18 and elected to become a free agent after clearing waivers on June 28. The A’s plan to use him in long relief.

“He gives us some experience, gives us some length,” manager Bob Geren said. “A good pitcher is going to help us. He doesn’t always have to go long.”

Bonser went 2-1 with a 4.56 ERA in 23 2-3 innings at Sacramento, while Bowers was 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA in 14 appearances for Oakland this season.
