Kuroda-Grauer suffered the injury when he fouled a pitch off his midsection in the top of the fifth inning of Monday’s 5-2 road win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. He stayed in the game after getting tended to by the A’s medical staff and manager Mark Kotsay and finished the at-bat with a single.
Kuroda-Grauer had the procedure at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Phoenix and is “resting comfortably,” the team said in a statement.
The painful injury came as the 23-year-old was playing well in his first ever Major League stint. After making his MLB debut June 29, the 23-year-old is slashing .417/.435/.583 with 25 hits in 62 plate appearances. He’s had multiple hits in eight of his 16 games since getting promoted from Triple-A Las Vegas.
