Athletics shut down Boog Powell (knee) for rest of 2017

Oakland Athletics outfielder Boog Powell (knee) has been shut down for the remainder of the season.

What It Means:

Powell bruised his kneecap last week, and while an MRI revealed no structural damage, the Athletics don't want to press the issue with their young outfielder.

Powell slashed .312/.380/.494 with 3 home runs in 92 plate appearances for the Athletics after being acquired from the Seattle Mariners on August 6.
