The Oakland A’s placed left-handed reliever Ryan Buchter on the 10-day disabled list Friday with a strained shoulder, the team announced. To replace him on the roster, fellow southpaw Danny Coulombe was recalled from Triple-A Nashville. In an additional, expected move, right-handed reliever Yusmeiro Petit was activated from the bereavement list.
Buchter has been an important part of the A’s bullpen this year. He’s the top lefty in the pen and at times the only one, and he’s also found himself in a late-inning setup role. He’s been in four save/hold situations and converted all of them (all holds).
