The injuries are piling up in the Oakland A’s lineup.
The A’s announced Thursday morning that they’ve placed super-sub Chad Pinder on the 10-day injured list. The diagnosis is a strained right hamstring.
The injury occurred on the final play of Oakland’s loss to the Houston Astros on Saturday. With two outs in the 9th, Pinder hit a ground ball and was thrown out at first base, and on the way past the bag he grabbed the back of his leg and began limping. Within minutes the team reported the obvious, that he’d pulled his hammy and would miss time.
