Harris played 36 games for the Athletics last season and struggled with the bat. He hit just .146 and slugged .262 in 36 games, hitting three homers and driving in 12 runs.
The Athletics also claimed left-hander Jared Shuster off waivers from the Chicago White Sox. The club subsequently optioned Shuster to Las Vegas.
Shuster, 27, had an 8.04 ERA in 12 games (two starts) for the White Sox this season. Overall, he is 6-8 with a 5.27 ERA in 62 appearances (17 starts) over three seasons with the Atlanta Braves (2023) and White Sox (2024-25).
