A's Put Wilson and Soderstrom on 10‑Day IL and Call Up Prospect Joshua Kuroda‑Grauer

The club turned to its minor‑league pipeline to plug short‑term holes created by injuries and a paternity absence in the roster.

Overview

  • Oakland placed infielder Jacob Wilson on the 10-day injured list with right thumb inflammation and left fielder Tyler Soderstrom on the 10-day IL with a left hip impingement, and lefty José Suarez was placed on the paternity list.
  • The A’s selected 23-year-old Joshua Kuroda‑Grauer for his major league debut after he led all of Minor League Baseball in hits while hitting .323 with a .845 OPS this season.
  • Right-hander Kade Morris and infielder Darell Hernaiz were recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas to provide immediate pitching and infield depth based on their recent Triple-A and earlier MLB activity.
  • To open a 40-man roster spot the club designated reliever Michael Kelly for assignment after limited and ineffective big-league appearances this season.
  • The moves highlight Oakland’s reliance on recent draftees and minor-league depth to cover short‑term gaps and could affect lineup production while Soderstrom and Wilson recover.
