Sam Moll - Out with shoulder strainMoll hit the injured list with a left shoulder strain Friday.

Jared Koenig - Called up FridayKoenig was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.
ImpactKoenig was sent down by the Athletics at the end of August, and he posted a 9.28 ERA and 1.87 WHIP in 10.2 innings over three appearances following his demotion. In spite of his lackluster performance, he'll rejoin the major-league club after Sam Moll (shoulder) was placed on the injured list Friday. Koenig has served as a starter in five of his six big-league appearances this year but will likely be a multi-inning option out of the Athletics' bullpen for now.

In spite of his effective results, the right-hander will return to Sugar Land after Justin Verlander (calf) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Friday.
