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.
