Mandatory Credit: Ed Szczepanski-Imagn Images The Athletics placed third baseman Max Muncy on the 10-day injury list with a fractured left hand prior to Tuesday's game against the visiting Kansas City Royals.
The move is retroactive to Sunday.
The A's recalled third baseman Brett Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move.
Muncy, 23, was hit on the left hand by a pitch on April 13 in a game against the Texas Rangers and left that contest. He attempted to play through the injury, but is 3-for-32 since the plunking and his batting average dropped from .317 to .239.
He underwent an MRI exam on Monday and it revealed he had a non-displaced fracture of his fifth metacarpal. A timetable for his return wasn't revealed Tuesday by the club.
Muncy has two homers and seven RBI in 26 games this season.
Harris, 27, batted .274 with five RBIs in 32 games with the A's last season. This season, he was batting .274 with two homers and 15 RBIs in 16 games for Las Vegas.
Darell Hernaiz is batting eighth and playing third base in Tuesday's game against the Royals.
