ARLINGTON, Texas — The Athletics<\/a> placed dynamic rookie center fielder Denzel Clarke<\/a> and infielder Max Muncy<\/a> on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday.<\/p>\n Clarke has an adductor strain and is likely to miss a couple of weeks, manager Mark Kotsay said Monday. Muncy was hit on the right hand by a pitch in Monday night’s series opener at Texas and was replaced at third base by Gio Urshela<\/a>. Although the A’s said X-rays were negative, the injury will still force the rookie to miss some time.<\/p>\n Lawrence Butler<\/a> made his second straight start in center Tuesday night. A day earlier against the Rangers, Butler made a leaping catch in front of the A’s bullpen in left-center field to take a home run away from Kyle Higashioka<\/a>. Clarke has made several spectacular catches this season.<\/p>\n The A’s recalled outfielders Colby Thomas<\/a> and Carlos Cortes<\/a> from Triple-A Las Vegas. Cortes is batting .322 with 17 homers and 77 RBI in 71 games with Las Vegas. The 28-year-old would be making his major league debut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jul 22, 2025, 05:47 PM ET ARLINGTON, Texas — The Athletics placed dynamic rookie center fielder Denzel Clarke…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14800,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,591,85],"class_list":["post-14799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14799"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14799\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14800"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
