The Oakland A’s activated outfielder Ramon Laureano from the injured list, the team announced Friday. They also recalled right-handed reliever J.B. Wendelken from Triple-A Las Vegas.
Laureano was placed on the injured list on July 31 due to stress reaction in his lower right leg. He had been battling the injury all season, telling Susan Slusser of the S.F. Chronicle that it began due to the turf in Japan, where the A’s played their opening series back in March.
The young center fielder was on fire when he was placed on the IL.
