Athletics activate Brent Rooker after All-Star missed 14 games with oblique strain
Rooker returned after a 14-game absence and had been hitting .146 before the right oblique strain, the Athletics said.
- The Athletics activated Brent Rooker off the 10-day injured list on Sunday, returning the two-time All-Star to the cleanup spot as designated hitter against Texas.
- Rooker missed 14 games after sustaining a right oblique strain while fouling off a changeup during a 1-0 victory against the New York Yankees on Apr 9.
- The 31-year-old had six walks before the injury, and his absence ended a streak of 213 consecutive games played for the Athletics.
- To accommodate Rooker, the Athletics designated infielder Andy Ibanez for assignment after claiming him from the Los Angeles Dodgers in February.
- The 33-year-old Ibanez now faces seven days to be traded, waived, or sent to the minor leagues as the roster adjustment takes effect.
