Ahead of Friday’s game in Baltimore, third baseman Danny Valencia was activated from the Oakland Athletics‘ 15-day disabled list. In a corresponding roster move, utility man Tyler Ladendorf was sent back to Triple-A Nashville.
Danny Valencia played 14 games with the A’s, amassing 55 plate appearances before being placed on the DL with a hamstring strain.
Valencia’s injury occurred on a play at the plate during an April 20 game against the New York Yankees. Outfielder Aaron Hicks made a suburb throw to home plate, where catcher Brian McCann tagged out Valencia as he tried to slide in to home and score.
