The Athletics placed Kuroda-Grauer on the 10-day injured list Tuesday following surgery for a ruptured testicle.

The A's haven't provided a timeline for Kuroda-Grauer's return, though he will likely remain on the shelf beyond the 10-day minimum. Max Muncy will come up from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move and could see time at third base while Kuroda-Grauer is out.

The Athletics recalled Juenger from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Juenger will provide depth to the Athletics' bullpen while Mark Leiter (hip) is on the injured list. Juenger has given up five earned runs in six innings at Las Vegas since being traded to the A's in June, and he will likely be limited to low-leverage situations while in the majors.

The Athletics placed Leiter on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Sunday, with a right hip impingement.

Leiter already spent time on the injured list in late June and early July due to a right hip impingement, and he'll now end up back on the shelf after aggravating the injury. Hayden Juenger was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move to replenish the Athletics' bullpen depth.

Montgomery (shin) was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

After fouling a pitch off his right shin Monday against the Rangers, the 24-year-old shortstop was initially penciled in to start Tuesday's contest. Montgomery will instead miss at least one start due to the injury and should be considered day-to-day with the bruise.

Montgomery (shin) was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Montgomery was originally set to remain in the lineup Tuesday after fouling a ball off his right shin Monday, but he'll instead receive the day off to recover. Luisangel Acuna will fill in as Chicago's shortstop and bat eighth.

Palacios is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Palacios started the previous three contests and will receive a day off after going 2-for-10 with two walks, a double, a steal and one run during that span. Ben Williamson is picking up a start at the keystone Tuesday and is batting seventh against Toronto righty Kevin Gausman.

Montgomery (shin) will start at shortstop and bat cleanup in Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Montgomery had to be lifted from Monday's series opener after fouling a ball off his right shin. However, he escaped with merely a contusion and is feeling well enough to give it a go Tuesday.

Feduccia is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Toronto.

It's the second straight day that the left-handed-hitting Feduccia is not starting against a righty hurler (in this case, Kevin Gausman). Nick Fortes will get another start after going 2-for-4 with a homer in Monday's series opener.

Mesa is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Toronto.

Mesa had homered in three straight contests -- including in Monday's series opener -- but he'll grab a seat Tuesday. Jonny DeLuca will handle right field for the Rays.

Diaz is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Marlins.

Diaz started at catcher the last three games but will begin Tuesday's festivities on the bench. Christian Vazquez will take over behind the plate for Houston.
