Athletics INF Gio Urshela (Hamstring) Headed to IL
- The Oakland Athletics placed infielder Gio Urshela on the 10-day injured list on May 23, 2025, due to a left hamstring strain.
- Urshela signed a one-year contract in the offseason with the aim of earning the role as the primary third baseman but sustained an injury during the team's current nine-game losing streak.
- In response, the Athletics have called up outfielder Denzel Clarke, a highly regarded prospect known for his outstanding defensive skills and exceptional speed, from their Triple-A Las Vegas affiliate.
- Clarke owns a.286/.436/.419 batting line with a 21.8% strikeout and 17.3% walk rate this year, while Bleday, the current corner outfielder, slumps at.219 with no home runs in 31 games.
- The A's could make multiple roster changes as Clarke should improve defense immediately, though they do not require a direct infielder replacement for Urshela now.
