Athletics' Domingo Tapia: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
Tapia was designated for assignment Sunday.
Tapia made two appearances after being called up Friday, but he would have been unavailable for at least a couple days after throwing 1.2 innings Saturday, so the A's decided to replace him in the bullpen with a fresh arm. He threw the ball well for the A's in 2021, so he could garner some interest on the waiver wire.

Athletics' Domingo Tapia: Perfect in team debut
Rotowire
Tapia, just promoted from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday, fired a perfect ninth inning in a loss to the Astros on Monday.
The journeyman reliever had to work a bit for his outs -- he fired 20 pitches overall during his one frame and induced eight foul balls -- but he got through his debut frame for Oakland unscathed. Tapia has enjoyed success in each of his prior big-league stints with the team and had posted a solid 3.24 ERA at Triple-A Las Vegas despite the hitter-friendly environment of the Pacific Coast League, so he could develop into a solid mid-to-later-inning option with a fair share of hold opportunities over time.
Tapia was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Tapia was claimed off waivers by the A's in late April, and he'll now join the big-league club after spending the past month with Las Vegas. He has a 3.38 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB over 13.1 innings at the Triple-A level this season.

He may be able to hold onto a bullpen spot with the Athletics after Justin Grimm was designated for assignment Saturday.

Royals' Domingo Tapia: Slips up in loss
Rotowire
Tapia (4-1) gave up three runs on four hits in one-third of an inning, taking the loss Saturday versus Detroit.
The right-hander has had few missteps this year, but he endured a big one during an ugly sixth inning Saturday. Tapia allowed consecutive singles before Miguel Cabrera and Jeimer Candelario combined to plate three runs on back-to-back doubles. That was enough to give Tapia his first big-league loss while ballooning his ERA to 2.61 with a 1.19 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB across 31 innings this season. He's now given up runs in each of his last two outings, but he was on a 13-inning scoreless streak prior to this series versus the Tigers.

Royals' Domingo Tapia: Records fourth win
Rotowire
Tapia (4-0) allowed a run on two hits and a walk in one inning, earning the win Friday versus Detroit.
The right-hander took a blown save when he allowed a game-tying RBI single to Eric Haase in the sixth inning, but Kansas City restored its lead in the seventh. Tapia saw his 13-inning scoreless streak end Friday, but he's still given up just three runs with a 20:11 K:BB in 25.2 innings since the start of August. He owns a 1.76 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB over 30.2 innings overall while gradually working into more high-leverage spots.
