Phegley (knee) was placed on the 15-day DL on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The Athletics have already diagnosed Phegley with a strained right knee, but according to Joe Stiglich of CSN California, manager Bob Melvin has expressed some concern that surgery might be a possibility for the backstop. Phegley recently underwent an MRI, but until the results are made available, we won't have a clear idea on his return timetable. Matt McBride was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move, and he'll replace Phegley as the top backup to Stephen Vogt behind the plate.
