The Oakland Athletics send Chris Carter to AAA
23-year old righty swinging LF/1B Chris Carter is one of the best prospects the A’s have but they have sent him to AAA. Conor Jackson was activated off the D.L. to take his place. Carter was clearly overmatched by making league pitching in his brief stay with the A’s. He played in 6 games for the A’s and he was 0 for 19 (.000 avg, .050 OPS) with 1 walk and 9 whiffs. The A’s might give Carter another chance when rosters expand on September 1st if he plays well in the minors the next couple of weeks.
