• Athletics' Jed Lowrie: Receives cortisone shot

  3D ago •

  Lowrie (shoulder) underwent an MRI that revealed some fluid in his shoulder, and he received a cortisone shot, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Lowrie landed on the injured list with a shoulder injury Thursday, and he'll rest for a few days prior to resuming a strengthening program. The 38-year-old doesn't have a timetable to return, but it's possible that he'll require more than the minimum of 10 days on the IL.

  Lowrie had an MRI on his shoulder Thursday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Lowrie landed on the injured list Thursday, but the team is looking to clarify the extent of the injury. The issue initially emerged in early June, but Oakland believed that Lowrie had made enough progress to avoid an extended absence. Instead, Lowrie will be sidelined for at least the next 10 days.

• Athletics' Jed Lowrie: Placed on 10-day IL

  5D ago •

  Lowrie (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday. Lowrie didn't appear in the last three games due to a left shoulder injury, and the issue will force him to miss at least a week and a half. It's not yet clear when the Athletics expect him to return to action, but he isn't guaranteed regular playing time for the rebuilding squad once he's cleared to rejoin the team.

• Athletics' Jed Lowrie: Battling shoulder injury

  6D ago •

  Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said Wednesday that Lowrie's recent string of absences from the lineup is related to a left shoulder injury, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. "We're giving him this opportunity to see if we can get his strength back," Kotsay said of Lowrie, who initially sustained the injury July 9, when he collided with a baserunner while covering first base. In the 18 games since he suffered the injury in question, Lowrie has picked up just four starts, including only one in the Athletics' most recent seven contests. Kotsay noted that the Athletics have considered placing Lowrie on the 10-day injured list, but the team looks as though it'll wait another day or two before making a decision on that front. The 38-year-old Lowrie is hitless in his last 25 at-bats and likely isn't a high-priority player for the rebuilding Athletics, so he could be phased out of the regular lineup even if he moves past the shoulder issue in the near future.

• Athletics' Jed Lowrie: Out against lefty

  8D ago •

  Lowrie is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. The switch-hitting Lowrie is on the bench for the fourth time in five games, this time taking a seat versus a lefty starting pitcher (Jordan Montgomery). Given his recent usage as well as the 25-49 Athletics' status as a non-contender, the 38-year-old Lowrie may be more likely to see his role dwindle than grow as the season rolls along. The likes of Seth Brown and Christian Bethancourt may be better bets to pick up starts at designated hitter at Lowrie's expense.
