ANAHEIM, Calif.—Oakland Athletics All-Star closer Mason Miller broke the pinky finger on his non-pitching hand when he pounded a table in frustration after he was reminded that he had to do postgame weightlifting following Monday night’s contest against the Houston Astros.
The 25-year-old right-hander, the hardest-throwing pitcher in the major leagues and the subject of significant trade speculation, was placed on the 15-day injured list retroactive to Tuesday.
