Athletics activate 3B Gio Urshela, place OF Seth Brown in IL
June 17 - The Athletics activated third baseman Gio Urshela from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday night's game against the visiting Houston Astros. Urshela has been sidelined with a left hamstring strain. He was injured during a 10-5 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on May 22. The Athletics placed outfielder Seth Brown (elbow) on the 10-day IL in a corresponding move, retroactive to June 13. Urshela is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against Houston. Max Muncy is the third baseman. Urshela, 33, is batting .224 with 13 RBIs in 32 games this season, his first with the Athletics. The A's are his eighth big-league team. Overall, Urshela is a .271 career hitter with 73 homers and 345 RBIs in 824 games. He enjoyed his best season in 2019 when he established career highs of a .314 average, 21 homers and 74 RBIs in 132 games with the New York Yankees. Brown, 32, is batting .185 with one homer and three RBIs in 38 games this season. Brown first reached the majors in 2019 with the A's and has 74 homers and 233 RBIs to go with a .226 average in 568 games. He hit 20 homers in 2021 and had career bests of 25 homers and 73 RBIs in 2022. Also, Athletics second baseman Zack Gelof is beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Blue Jays place Bowden Francis (shoulder) on 15-day IL
June 17 - The Toronto Blue Jays placed right-hander Bowden Francis on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to a right shoulder impingement. The 29-year-old Francis has fashioned a 2-8 record with a 6.05 ERA in 14 starts. He failed to get through four innings in any of his three starts in June, when he surrendered 12 earned runs, 13 hits and 10 walks in just 8 2/3 innings. In addition to placing Francis on the IL (retroactive to Sunday), the Blue Jays designated veteran reliever Erik Swanson for assignment. The 31-year-old appeared in only six games this season, but gave up nine runs in 5 1/3 innings for a 15.19 ERA. The one-time strikeout artist managed just three punchouts versus five walks. To fill their spots on the active roster, Toronto promoted versatile right-hander Paxton Schultz and lefty reliever Justin Bruihl from Triple-A Buffalo. Schultz, 27, authored a remarkable major league debut on April 20 when he threw 4 1/3 scoreless innings with eight strikeouts and no walks against Seattle. He compiled a 3.06 ERA in eight appearances with 24 strikeouts and four walks across 17 2/3 innings before returning to Buffalo. He could serve as the Blue Jays' opener in Wednesday's game against Arizona. Bruihl, 27, has made 79 appearances since making his big-league debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2021. He has posted a 2-2 record with a 4.62 ERA and one save between the Dodgers (2021-23), Colorado Rockies (2023) and Pittsburgh Pirates (2024). With Triple-A Buffalo this season, Bruihl has made 25 relief appearances and compiled a 3-3 record with a 3.81 ERA and two saves. He has fanned 36 and issued 10 unintentional walks over 28 1/3 innings. --Field Level Media
