Minor Transactions: Bowden, Márquez, Martin, Strahm

The trade deadline set off a whirlwind of roster movement. In this post, MLBTR catches up on some players who were designated for assignment last week.The Athletics sent left-hander Ben Bowden outright to Triple-A Las Vegas, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. The lefty had the right to reject that assignment and elect free agency but has already pitched for the Aviators a couple of times since being outrighted, so it appears he has accepted his assignment. He has a 6.65 earned run
