Ben Zobrist was placed on the disabled list with a left medial meniscus tear and will undergo surgery, and the A’s called up infielder Max Muncy from Triple-A Nashville.
Zobrist will have meniscus trimmed, and his recovery time is expected to be four to six weeks, but he said he’s hoping to return sooner.
“I usually bounce back pretty quickly from things,” said Zobrist, who had right knee surgery at the end of the 2005 season.
Zobrist missed four straight starts with an injured knee after a funky slide into second base. He was the designated hitter Friday and clearly showed he wasn’t close to 100 percent.
