BALTIMORE — The Oakland Athletics placed outfielder Coco Crisp on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday.
Crisp signed with the A’s as a free agent in the offseason but began the season on the disabled list because of a fractured pinkie finger. He was activated Friday and played in two games, going 2-for-6 as the leadoff hitter, before developing a strained muscle in his chest.
“Every injury is a different situation. The good news with this one is it isn’t a real long one, so he’ll be back,” manager Bob Geren said.
