The A’s on Tuesday afternoon announced a pair of roster moves that were fully expected, placing slick-fielding center fielder Denzel Clarke on the IL with a right adductor strain and infielder Max Muncy on the IL with a hand injury:
Taking their places on the active roster will be outfielders Colby Thomas and Carlos Cortes, both of whom are rookies.
The injury to Clarke occurred on Sunday in the finale against the Guardians when he departed that game with what was called at the time a right hip injury.
