Rookie Outfielder Ruptures Testicle | San Jose News
Description
Athletics rookie infielder Joshua Kuroda-Grauer is sidelined after emergency surgery for a ruptured testicle, suffered when he fouled a ball off himself during a game — he even got a single before being removed. The team also placed pitcher Mark Leiter Jr. on the injured list with a hip issue, retroactive to July 19. To fill the roster, they’ve called up Hayden Juenger and Max Muncy from Triple-A. Kuroda-Grauer, who was batting over .400 in his first 16 games and hit his first career homer on Monday, is reportedly resting comfortably. Leiter Jr., battling hip impingement for the second time this season, has pitched well recently, posting a low ERA over his last 18 games.
