Matt Olson Placed On Injured List
6 years agoThe Oakland Athletics placed first baseman Matt Olson (hand) and starting pitcher Chris Bassitt (leg) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. They also optioned relief pitcher Ryan Dull to Triple-A Las Vegas. Olson had surgery to fix a fractured hamate bone that he suffered in the two-game series in Japan last week and will miss four to six weeks. Mark Canha could be an option to replace him at first base against left-handed pitchers, and infielder Chad Pinder might also benefit from extra playing time in the first month of the season.
