A’s activate Chad Pinder, option Seth Brown

The Oakland A’s activated super-sub Chad Pinder from the 10-day injured list on Friday.

Pinder went on the injured list in early July due to a strained hamstring, and ended up missing 34 games. It’s the second time this season that he had to sit out at least a month to a leg injury, after also spraining a knee in April.

To make space on the active roster, outfielder Seth Brown was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas.

When healthy, Pinder has played 46 games, at five different defensive positions.
