Hassan was claimed off waivers by Oakland on Saturday, the Boston Globe's Pete Abraham reports.

He was designated for assignment by the A's on Wednesday and the Rangers scooped him up due to their lack of quality organizational outfield depth.

Hassan (hamstring) was given the start in Saturday's game, the Bay Area News Group's John Hickey reports.
It sounds like he is finally healthy enough to take the field in games, so his status for the start of the season is looking positive.

Hassan was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Wednesday after the club signed Everth Cabrera. The Athletics must have liked his track record, as they will give him a shot on their 40-man roster. He could receive a shot at a roster spot out of spring training, but it would likely take a strong performance to remain on the squad, and his likely destination will be Triple-A to begin the season.

He spent the vast majority of the year at Triple-A Pawtucket, where he slashed .287/.378/.426 with 55 RBI and eight home runs in 408 at-bats.
