Luis Severino Placed on Injured List with Oblique Strain

The Oakland Athletics have placed their ace pitcher, Luis Severino, on the 15-day injured list with a left oblique strain. The injury is retroactive to August 6th. Severino, the team's Opening Day starter, had been on a winning streak prior to this, with his last start resulting in a win where he gave up three earned runs over six innings. The Athletics recalled lefty Hogan Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas to replace Severino on the roster.
