Overview

• Luis Severino was placed on the 15-day injured list retroactive to August 6 after suffering a left oblique strain in his latest start.
• To fill his roster spot, Oakland recalled left-hander Hogan Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas for his third major league stint this season.
• Severino went 4–1 with a 2.93 ERA over his last five starts before the injury, recording 30 strikeouts in 27 2/3 innings.
• Through 24 starts this year, he owns a 6–11 record and 4.82 ERA with 103 strikeouts and 44 walks over 136 1/3 innings.
• Oblique strains often require careful rehabilitation and highlight the A’s ongoing rotation challenges as they lean on younger arms for depth.
