Graveman headed to DL

-

NEW YORK — Oakland pitcher Kendall Graveman was scratched from his start at Yankee Stadium on Friday night and likely is headed to the disabled list along with fellow Athletics right-hander Jesse Hahn.

Manager Bob Melvin said both have ailing shoulders — further injuries to add to a long list of them already this season for the low-budget, ever-changing club.

Left-hander Sean Manaea, who missed three weeks with a strained left shoulder before returning May 15, moved up a day and took Graveman’s place Friday. Right-hander Jharel Cotton, demoted to the minors May 11, will be recalled from Class AAA Nashville and start today.

Oakland ace Sonny Gray missed the first month with a lat strain, and reliever Sean Doolittle hasn’t pitched since April because of a strained left shoulder.

“It’s happened to basically everybody,” Melvin said, citing Andrew Triggs as the healthy exception. “It doesn’t help things.”
