A’s starter J.T. Ginn placed on 15-day IL because of elbow problem
The Athletics announced on Saturday that right-handed starter J.T. Ginn had been placed on the 15-day injured list due to an elbow impingement in his pitching arm. This decision came after Ginn's last appearance on August 26, when fatigue and soreness forced him to delay his next scheduled start. Ginn, who is 27 years old, has had a tremendous season so far, pitching 138 1/3 innings across 24 starts.
His impressive statistics include a 3.71 ERA, 121 strikeouts, and only 57 walks. Ginn's performance has been a bright spot for the struggling Athletics. In response to Ginn's injury, the team recalled right-hander Jack Perkins from their Triple-A affiliate in Las Vegas.
