Oakland Athletics Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained muscle in his left hand on Saturday, and recalled outfielder Michael Taylor to replace him on the 25-man roster.

Cespedes stated that he initially noticed the injury about 10 days ago, but it faded away and did not seem to affect his play. However on Tuesday, he provoked it during batting practice and was forced to be scratched from the lineup. 

The 26-year old outfielder got off to a great rookie season, belting five homers and a team-leading 21 RBIs in his first season in the Majors.
