HOUSTON — A’s reliever Ryan Buchter has been placed on the 10-day disabled list.
The left-handed reliever came on in relief of Kendall Graveman to begin the seventh inning of Wednesday 4-2 loss to the Texas Rangers and appeared to grimace as he felt some sort of discomfort on the mound after striking out Shin-Soo Choo. The A’s training staff went out to check on Buchter and decided to pull him from the game after facing just one batter.
Buchter’s velocity was lower than it usually is at, which was what led to A’s manager Bob Melvin deciding to end his night.
