Oakland placed Tyler Soderstrom on the 10-day injured list with a left hip impingement (retroactive to Aug. 15) and recalled Darell Hernaiz. Manager Mark Kotsay said Soderstrom will see a hip specialist and could miss the rest of the season. The 2026 line so far stands at 19 homers with a .245/.338/.472 slash across 453 plate appearances, as the A’s endure a tough year with a league-worst record and a 13-player IL list.
The Minnesota Twins put star outfielder Byron Buxton on the 10-day injured list with a right hip impingement after a brief return from a prior strain, prompting Tristan Gray’s recall. Buxton has had a strong 2026 season (.263/.320/.544 with 25 HR in 362 PA) but went 0-for-7 with five strikeouts in his seven games back, contributing to the IL move. With the Twins at 54-54 and in the wild-card mix, they remain buyers at the trade deadline, though Buxton’s absence could push for additional outfield depth, while Luke Keaschall shifts to center and Alan Roden gets playing time in the short term.
Oakland placed right-hander Mark Leiter Jr. on the 15-day IL with a right hip impingement and infielder Joshua Kuroda-Grauer on the 10-day IL after surgery for a ruptured testicle; Hayden Juenger and Max Muncy were recalled. Leiter has shown strong underlying numbers but a mediocre 4.17 ERA over several years, and the A’s sit 8.5 games out of a playoff spot as the deadline nears, limiting his trade value. Kuroda-Grauer’s injury is more severe with an unclear recovery time.
