The Athletics designated Meneses for assignment Saturday.
Meneses was sent down to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, and he'll now also lose his place on the 40-man roster to make room for Geoff Hartlieb, who was selected to the major-league roster Saturday. Meneses' .938 OPS in the minors could attract attention from teams looking for organizational depth, though the 34-year-old isn't likely to make much of an impact in the bigs.
