A's Pitcher Ginn Lands on IL With Blister
23 Jul
Summary
- J.T. Ginn placed on 15-day injured list due to a finger blister.
- Ginn had a strong outing with seven strikeouts last Saturday.
- The Athletics now have a season-high 11 players on the injured list.
The Athletics announced on Wednesday that right-handed pitcher J.T. Ginn has been placed on the 15-day injured list. The injury cited is a blister located on the middle finger of his pitching hand. This designation is retroactive to last Saturday, a day on which Ginn delivered a notable performance.
Last Saturday, Ginn showcased his talent by throwing 6⅓ shutout innings against Washington, striking out seven batters while issuing three walks. His season record stands at 8-6 with a 3.46 ERA over 109⅓ innings pitched, including 19 starts.
In response to Ginn's injury, the Athletics recalled right-handed pitcher Mason Barnett from their Triple-A affiliate in Las Vegas. Barnett will fill the open roster spot, having previously appeared in relief for the A's earlier in the season. This situation highlights the team's current struggles, as they now have a season-high total of 11 players on their injured list.
