Medina was placed on the injured list and may require surgery. There should be another update provided on his status to give a more clear timetable for his return.

The A’s have placed Luis Medina on the 15-day IL with a right elbow sprain.

Medina last pitched Thursday and apparently suffered the elbow sprain during that outing. He will likely be sent to undergo additional testing.

Luis Medina struggled in Thursday's 7-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox, allowing six earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings.

This performance certainly didn't help his already middling season stats, pushing his ERA to 5.18 and his WHIP to an unsettling 1.58. While the strikeout numbers were decent, Medina's inability to limit runs and hits continues to be a concern for fantasy managers. His elevated 4.44 FIP suggests that his struggles are somewhat reflective of his true performance level, rather than bad luck, indicated by a .317 BABIP. Owners should be wary of starting him in matchups against high-scoring teams, as his current form does not inspire confidence.
