MLB: Athletics lose Semien and Graveman

Share

The Oakland Athletics placed right-hander Kendall Graveman on the 10-day disabled list Monday because of a strained right shoulder, and said shortstop Marcus Semien will have surgery Tuesday for a broken bone in his right wrist.

Graveman started opening day and is 2-0 with a 2.00 ERA. But he exited after five innings and 74 pitches Friday against Houston.

Semien’s wrist was an issue since spring training. The A’s said the former California Golden Bear will be reevaluated in late May.
