Kotsay adjusts A's rotation amid Severino injury news

Summary

Athletics manager Mark Kotsay is evaluating pitching options after Luis Severino was placed on the 15-day injured list due to a strained right shoulder. Kotsay has brought up right-handers Kade Morris and Mason Barnett from Triple-A Las Vegas ahead of a game against the Chicago Cubs. This comes after transferring Brooks Kriske to the 60-day injured list and sending down Michael Kelly and Jacob Lopez. Severino, 32, will be out for at least four to six weeks, putting additional strain on the bullpen. All-Star shortstop Jacob Wilson is on track for a minor league rehab assignment this weekend as he recovers from a left shoulder injury.
