The Oakland A’s lost one veteran hitter on Sunday, but gained back another at the same time.
The A’s announced Sunday that they’ve place DH Mitch Moreland on the injured list. There was no reason given for his trip to the IL, nor is it clear which version of the list he went on, so there is no timetable at all for how long he might miss.
Moreland was in the starting lineup Saturday but never took a plate appearance. He was lifted for a pinch-hitter before his first at-bat, for what was described after the game by manager Bob Melvin as “a non-baseball-related issue,” per Matt Kawahara of the S.
