PHOENIX — TheAthletics<\/a>placed rookie infielder Joshua Kuroda-Grauer<\/a> on the 10-day injured list Tuesday following emergency surgery for a ruptured testicle caused by a foul ball the night before.<\/p>\n

The A’s also put right-hander Mark Leiter Jr. on the 15-day injured list with a right hip impingement, retroactive to July 19, prior to Tuesday night’s game againstArizona<\/a>. Right-hander Hayden Juenger<\/a> and infielder Max Muncy<\/a> were recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas to fill their roster spots.<\/p>\n

The A’s said Kuroda-Grauer was resting comfortably a day after fouling a ball into his groin in the fifth inning of their 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks on Monday night. Kuroda-Grauer fell to the ground in pain, but stayed in the game and managed to hit a single before being replaced at third base by Donovan Walton<\/a> in the sixth.<\/p>\n

Called up June 29 from the minors, Kuroda-Grauer batted .417 with seven doubles in his first 16 big league games before the injury. He hit his first career homer in the second inning Monday.<\/p>\n

Leiter is out with a hip impingement for the second time this season after going on the injured list June 17. The 35-year-old has not allowed a run in 17 of his last 18 games, compiling a 0.50 ERA during that stretch. He is 0-1 with a 4.28 ERA and four saves in 36 relief appearances overall this year.<\/p>\n
