One of the Oakland A’s newest prospects is getting the call to the majors.
The A’s announced Friday morning that they placed pitcher Cole Irvin on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder soreness. The move is retroactive to May 2, and it creates a hole in the rotation, as Irvin was scheduled to start tonight.
To take his place, fellow left-hander Zach Logue was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas.
The rookie Logue was acquired in the Matt Chapman trade over the offseason. He’s spent most of this year in the minors, but he made his MLB debut on April 19 out of Oakland’s bullpen, and that day he recorded four outs and was credited with the win.
