A’s acquire backup catcher Dustin Garneau
Garneau, 29, opened the season with Colorado and hit .206 with a home run and six RBIs in 22 games, and he was batting .281 with 10 homers, 26 RBIs and a .617 slugging percentage in 36 games with Triple-A Albuquerque.
Garneau is a right-handed hitter, so would provide platoon help for primary catcher Bruce Maxwell while Josh Phegley is on the disabled list with an oblique strain.
