Athletics' Sean Newcomb: Lands on 60-day IL

The Athletics placed Newcomb on the 60-day injured list Thursday with left knee inflammation.

Newcomb had knee surgery last September but made four appearances this spring, so he evidently must have suffered a setback if a 60-day IL stint was deemed appropriate. It's not clear whether the Athletics plan to bring the left-hander back as a starter or reliever once he's healthy.
