OAKLAND -- A's catcher Bruce Maxwell was removed from Wednesday's series finale against the Angels in the fourth inning as a precautionary measure after taking a foul ball to his face mask.
The incident occurred in the first inning, marking the second time in as many days Maxwell has been shaken by a foul ball. After grounding out in his first at-bat, he was replaced behind the plate by Stephen Vogt to open the fourth.
The A's already have one catcher on the concussion disabled list: Josh Phegley, who is expected back Friday.
