7 years agoOakland Athletics outfielder Boog Powell hits the DL with a sprained right knee sustained while running the bases on Saturday, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. He will head back to Oakland on Monday to have an MRI. Powell was in a competition with rookie Dustin Fowler in spring for the center field spot. His sluggish season continues from spring (.222 AVG) into the season with a .167 average in 23 at-bats. Fowler needs more development time so Powell will be replaced on the roster with Mark Canha who will be called up on Sunday.--Ellis Canady - RotoBaller
