A’s shortstop Marcus Semien, who has been out for almost three months with a broken wrist, has been reinstated from the 60-day disabled list, the club announced Thursday.
To make room for Semien on the 25-man roster, right-hander Jharel Cotton was placed on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to July 4, with a blister on his right thumb. Right-hander Andrew Triggs was transferred from the 10-day DL to the 60-day DL to clear a spot on the 40-man roster.
It was believed that rookie infielder Franklin Barreto would be sent back to Triple-A Nashville once Semien returned, but Cotton’s injury necessitated some recovery time.
