The Athletics will be without one of their top sluggers for the foreseeable future. Brent Rooker was placed on the 10-day injured list shortly before the A’s game against the Mets at Citi Field on Friday, with an MRI revealing a right oblique strain for the designated hitter. Rooker, 31, suffered the injury while fouling off a pitch in the first inning of the Athletics’ 1-0 win over the Yankees on Thursday.
