IL move official The Athletics officially placed Piscotty on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left calf strain, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact As expected, Piscotty's move to the IL frees up a spot on the 26-man active roster for fellow outfielder Ramon Laureano, who was reinstated from the restricted list after completing the 80-game suspension he received last August. The return of Laureano means that Piscotty may not have a clear path to an everyday role even when the latter moves past the calf strain. Whenever he's healthy, Piscotty will likely have to battle Seth Brown and Chad Pinder for starts in left field.

Athletics come into matchup with the Twins on losing streak

Heading to injured list Piscotty will be placed on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 1 calf strain Saturday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 31-year-old was removed from Friday's game against the Twins after hurting his calf while running the bases, and he underwent an MRI that revealed a Grade 1 strain. Once Piscotty is cleared to return, he'll likely see a decrease in playing time since Ramon Laureano (suspension) is slated to make his season debut Sunday.

Undergoes MRI Piscotty underwent an MRI on his left calf Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Piscotty left Friday's game against the Twins with a calf issue after injuring himself while running the bases. The severity of his injury should become clear once the results of the MRI are known, though he's likely on the verge of a decrease in playing time regardless of the results with Ramon Laureano set to return from his suspension Sunday.

Leaves game with calf issue Piscotty left Friday's loss to the Twins in the second inning after getting thrown out at the plate and is considered day-to-day with calf tightness.
Impact The outfielder singled to lead off the frame and stole a base with two outs to get himself into scoring position, but Piscotty appeared to slow down after rounding third on an Elvis Andrus single and Trevor Larnach's throw from left field beat him easily. The fragile 31-year-old was starting his fifth straight game before suffering his latest injury, but with Ramon Laureano due back from his suspension Sunday, Piscotty's playing time was likely about to dwindle even if he were healthy.

Fourth straight start Piscotty will start in right field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Rays, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Piscotty has produced only one hit while getting on base at a modest .300 clip over the past three games, but that won't stop him from getting his fourth consecutive start in right field Wednesday. However, with Ramon Laureano (suspension) eligible to make his season debut Sunday, Piscotty looks to be the Oakland outfielder most at risk of losing out on at-bats in the near future.
