The Oakland Athletics placed third baseman Danny Valencia on the 15-day disabled list with a left hamstring strain on Friday, retroactive to April 21. Valencia suffered the injury popping out of a slide after getting thrown out at home plate in the fourth inning of Wednesday's contest against the New York Yankees. It has not been announced whether Valencia will need more than the minimum time off.
While a corresponding move has not been officially been announced, Tyler Ladendorf was not in today's Nashville Sounds lineup, and he's the most logical choice for a callup. The San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser bet her Twitter cred on it:
Melvin says corresponding move tomorrow.
