The A's recalled McBride from Triple-A Nashville on Friday, MLB.com's Jane Lee reports.
McBride posted a .781 OPS over 70 games with Nashville this season. He appeared in 15 games for the A's earlier in 2016 but posted just a .558 OPS in those contests. He will provide some catching depth behind starter Stephen Vogt, and could see some time in the outfield as well.
