Athletics place starter on 15-day injured list with right shoulder strain
The team moved the pitcher to the injured list after he exited his most recent start following one inning. A replacement was recalled from the minors.
nypost.comThe Athletics placed starter Luis Severino on the 15-day injured list with a strained right shoulder Saturday. Severino left his previous start after one inning. He said after the game that he felt tightness in his throwing shoulder during warmups before the second inning.
The team gave him extra rest before he pitched again Friday. Severino said he stopped throwing to avoid a more serious injury. The Athletics recalled right-handed pitcher Michael Kelly from Triple-A Las Vegas to fill the roster spot.
A prospect was called up earlier in the week to replace another starter. Kelly had a 6.23 ERA in four relief appearances with the Athletics earlier this season before being sent to the minors.
