The Oakland Athletics have placed All-Star closer Mason Miller on the 15-day IL after he suffered a fracture of the fifth metacarpal (his pinkie finger) in a non-pitching injury.
Miller reportedly sustained the injury in the training room while preparing to do an exercise. MLB.com's Martín Gallegos reported that Miller put his hand down awkwardly on a training table, resulting in the injury to his pinkie finger. The injury occurred after his appearance in Monday's 4–0 win over the Houston Astros, during which the 25-year-old threw a scoreless ninth inning.
