The Oakland A’s placed relief pitcher Yusmeiro Petit on the bereavement list Tuesday, the team announced. To replace him on the 25-man roster, rookie reliever Lou Trivino was called up from Triple-A Nashville.
Petit missed several days last week on the family medial emergency list, from April 17-20, but he returned for two games on Sunday and Monday. He will now spend some more time away after the passing of his mother, reports insider Jane Lee. Players on the bereavement list must miss at least three days but can’t be off the roster more than seven days.
