OAKLAND -- The A's recalled left-handed pitcher Danny Coulombe from Triple-A Nashville and reinstated right-handed pitcher Yusmeiro Petit from the bereavement list, the club announced Friday. The A's also placed left-handed pitcher Ryan Buchter on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to Thursday, with a strained left shoulder.
Coulombe was on the A's Opening Day roster and compiled a 5.79 ERA and .265 opponents batting average in nine relief appearances before he was optioned to Nashville a week ago today. After tossing four scoreless innings over his first four outings, he allowed seven runs in 5 1/3 innings over his final five contests.
