JJ Bleday Goes On Injured List
1 year agoThe Oakland Athletics placed outfielder JJ Bleday (knee) and pitcher Angel Felipe (elbow) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and recalled pitcher Tayler Scott from Triple-A Las Vegas and reinstated catcher Carlos Perez (thumb) from the injured list in corresponding moves. Bleday is dealing with a left-knee sprain and will now miss at least the next 10 days. With the 25-year-old Bleday on the shelf, expect to see a bit more of Tony Kemp and Brent Rooker making starts in the outfield for the rebuilding A's. In just his second major-league season, and the first in Oakland, Bleday is hitting a disappointing .203/.313/.373 with 10 home runs, 11 doubles, 27 RBI, five stolen bases and 34 runs scored in 77 games (284 plate appearances).
