Kuroda-Grauer Out After Groin Injury | Oakland Athletics News
Description
Athletics infielder Joshua Kuroda-Grauer’s MLB debut was cut short after a brutal foul ball to the groin—yes, he stayed in the game, even got a hit—now sidelined on the 10-day IL with a ruptured testicle. The A’s also lost pitcher Mark Leiter to a hip injury, calling up Hayden Juenger and Max Muncy from Triple-A. Just 23, Kuroda-Grauer was crushing it early, hitting .417 with multiple doubles and a homer in his first 16 games. This kind of injury isn’t new—think Mitch Haniger’s 2019 ordeal—but it’s a gut punch for a player just starting his big league journey. The team’s lineup will feel his absence while he recovers.
