Athletics places Miguel Andujar on the injured list due to a core muscle injury

CINCINNATI – The Oakland Athletics placed outfielder Miguel Andujar on the 10-day injured list retroactive to Aug. 25 due to a core muscle injury and recalled infielder Nick Allen from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Andujar, who has been the A's primary left fielder for most of the season, has not played since Saturday. Daz Cameron started the last two games in left field and is the likely replacement for Andujar.

This is Andujar's second stint on the IL after beginning the season there following surgery on his right knee. In 75 games since being reinstated, Andujar is batting .285 with four home runs and 30 RBIs. He is the third-leading outfielder in the major leagues with 10 assists.

Allen, 25, was on the Opening Day roster and had a .171 batting average with one home run and three RBIs in 28 games before being optioned to Triple-A on May 3. In 81 games for Las Vegas, he had a .345 batting average with 26 doubles, one triple, seven home runs and 51 RBIs.
