The Athletics expect to place a pitcher on the 15-day injured list after an evaluation for a right shoulder injury. The pitcher allowed seven runs over four innings in a 9-2 loss to the Seattle Mariners. A 23-year-old left-handed pitcher from the club's Triple-A affiliate in Las Vegas is expected to be called up to take the injured pitcher's spot in the rotation.
The prospect recorded a 4.74 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 38 innings at Triple-A, striking out 56 batters.
The player recorded three hits in four at-bats in an 8-2 loss to the Miami Marlins. The Blue Jays also placed a pitcher on the 15-day injured list with a strained left hamstring. The injury is considered mild, and the club hopes for a minimum absence.
