Oakland A's place Sonny Gray on disabled list, call up Daniel Coulombe

The Oakland Athletics have placed top starting pitcher Sonny Gray on the disabled list with a strained right trapezius, the club announced Sunday. The A's called up left-handed reliever Daniel Coulombe to take Gray's place on the active roster.

Sonny Gray does not expect he'll miss more than the minimum time, however:

Sonny says he got a cortisone shot in the area after Friday's start. Considers the injury mostly minor, expects to miss minimum time.
