NEW YORK -- The Oakland Athletics have put outfielder Stephen Piscotty on the bereavement list and recalled right-hander Kendall Graveman from Triple-A Nashville.
Graveman was set to start Friday night against New York at Yankee Stadium. He was 0-5 with an 8.89 ERA in six starts for the A's when he was sent down April 26.
Piscotty's mother, Gretchen, died Sunday from Lou Gehrig's disease. The 27-year-old played twice in Oakland this week, going 1 for 3 in each game. He stayed with his family in the Oakland area when the Athletics headed to New York.
