The Athletics placed outfielder Denzel Clarke on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday due to a bone bruise in his right foot.
In a corresponding move, the Athletics recalled outfielder Colby Thomas from Triple-A Las Vegas.
Clarke, 25, last played on Monday as a defensive placement in center field in the eighth inning of a 6-4 road victory over the Seattle Mariners.
A native of Canada, Clarke is batting .170 (9-for-53) with six RBIs and two stolen bases in 22 games. He has struck out 24 times and walked four times.
Last season as a rookie, Clarke hit .230 with a .274 on-base percentage, three home runs, eight RBIs, eight doubles, two triples, six steals, six walks and 61 strikeouts in 47 games.
The Athletics selected Clarke in the fourth round of the 2021 MLB Draft.
Thomas, 25, made his major league debut in 2025 and hit .225 (27-for-120) with six homers and 19 RBIs in 49 games. He hit .309 with five homers and 19 RBIs in 17 games for Las Vegas this season.
