The Oakland Athletics transferred Miguel Andujar (abdomen) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Saturday.Oakland manager Mark Kotsay had already confirmed earlier this week that Andujar would require season-ending core-muscle surgery, so his move to the 60-day IL is simply procedural.

Athletics' Miguel Andujar: Shelved with core-muscle injury
The Oakland Athletics placed Miguel Andujar on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a core-muscle injury.Andujar wasn't known to be dealing with an injury, but the core-muscle issue helps explain why he was mysteriously excluded from the lineup the last two games against a pair of right-handed starting pitchers. His placement on the IL is retroactive to Sunday, so Andujar will be eligible for activation beginning Sept. 4. Daz Cameron started in left field the past two games and should serve as the primary replacement while Andujar is on the shelf.

Athletics' Miguel Andujar: Logs third steal
Miguel Andujar went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.Andujar has gone 9-for-20 (.450) over his last five contests while seeing a starting role in left field. His steal Sunday was just his third theft on five attempts -- the outfielder's career high in stolen bases is four from the 2022 campaign, so speed is not a big part of his game. He's been good from a contact standpoint this year, slashing .300/.327/.408 with four home runs, 28 RBI, 27 runs scored, 12 doubles and a triple over 59 contests, but he offers little in power or speed while regularly batting second in a weak lineup.
