The Oakland A’s activated pitcher Kendall Graveman from the disabled list, the team announced Thursday. The right-hander had been out since May 29 due to a shoulder strain. To make room on the roster and in the rotation, Daniel Gossett was optioned back to Triple-A Nashville.
Graveman has only made eight starts this season because of his shoulder. He did a minimum 10-day DL stint in April, but then went down again at the end of May and wound up missing two months. On the bright side, he’s been good when he’s been able to take the mound, eating innings and keeping his team in the game.
