HOUSTON -- A's outfielder Stephen Piscotty exited Wednesday night's game vs. the Astros with a left wrist contusion after taking a pitch to his left arm in the fifth inning.
Piscotty took his base to open the fifth inning and was tagged out at home plate while attempting to score on a Chad Pinder single, but he was missing from right field in the bottom half of the frame.
Chad Pinder, who began the game in left field, took Piscotty's place in right, with Mark Canha shifting from first base to left and Matt Olson entering the game at first.
