A’s roster moves: 6 players to COVID IL; prospect Nick Allen called up to majors

The Oakland A’s got some unexpected roster news ahead of their 2022 home opener.

The A’s placed six players on the COVID-19 related injured list Monday afternoon, the team announced. Inclusion on this list can come from a positive test, or simply from showing symptoms even without a test, or just from being deemed a close contact to somebody who might be sick. The players going on the IL today:

  • LHP A.J. Puk
  • LHP Kirby Snead
  • RHP Lou Trivino
  • C Austin Allen
  • IF Jed Lowrie
  • OF Chad Pinder

That group joins RF Stephen Piscotty, who was placed on the COVID IL on Friday.
