## Resource

Athletics make roster moves, sending Scott Barlow and Luis Severino down to clear space for Joey Meneses and Matt Krook. Infielder Alika Williams, who’s been crushing it at the plate with a .289 average and a scorching .500 streak, gets optioned to Triple-A despite his hot bat and recent Flippin’ Bats Podcast honors. With limited playing time and a roster full of options, Williams now gets regular at-bats in Vegas, waiting for his next shot in the majors.
