The A’s designated Davis for assignment on June 17 after batting .236/.304/.366 with four home runs and five RBI in 135 at-bats this season.
Groshans, a former first-round pick (12th overall) by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2018, has spent his entire career in the minor leagues outside of a brief major-league appearance with the Miami Marlins in 2022 where he hit .262/.308/.312 with 16 hits, one home run, two RBI in 61 official at-bats.
The 24-year-old utilityman should provide Oakland with depth at numerous positions, including first base, third base, shortstop and outfield.
