Athletics Place Denzel Clarke and Max Muncy on the 10-Day Injured List
The Athletics placed dynamic rookie center fielder Denzel Clarke and infielder Max Muncy on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Clarke has an adductor strain and is likely to miss a couple of weeks, manager Mark Kotsay said Monday. Muncy was hit on the right hand by a pitch in Monday night's series opener at Texas and was replaced at third base by Gio Urshela. Although the A's said X-rays were negative, the injury will still force the rookie to miss some time. Lawrence Butler made his second straight start in center Tuesday night. A day earlier against the Rangers, Butler made a leaping catch in front of the A's bullpen in left-center field to take a home run away from Kyle Higashioka. Clarke has made several spectacular catches this season. The A's recalled outfielders Colby Thomas and Carlos Cortes from Triple-A Las Vegas. Cortes is batting .322 with 17 homers and 77 runs batted in in 71 games with Las Vegas. The 28-year-old would be making his major league debut.

Athletics rookie center fielder Denzel Clarke headed to injured list with adductor strain
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Athletics rookie center fielder Denzel Clarke is headed to the injured list after an MRI on Monday revealed an adductor strain. Manager Mark Kotsay said before Monday night's game that a roster move would be announced Tuesday. He said the A's weren't able to get another player in place in time for the series opener at Texas, where Clarke got his scan that showed the grade two strain. Kotsay said he didn't have a timeline for Clarke's return, but that it was probably going to be a couple of weeks. Clarke exited the A's loss at Cleveland on Sunday with what was reported as right hip discomfort. The 25-year-old Canadian has hit .230 through his first 47 big league games, but hit .333 (14 of 42) with six doubles, two triples and a home run his past 12 games before getting hurt. 'Really unfortunate timing for Denzel,' Kotsay said. 'I think his confidence offensively was continuing to build, the at-bats were just getting better and better.' Lawrence Butler was the starting center fielder in the opener against the Rangers. He made 89 of his first 90 starts in right field, with the other start also being in center. Miguel Andujar was in right field. ___ AP MLB:
