## Resource

A brutal twist for rookie infielder Joshua Kuroda-Grauer: a foul ball to the groin during Monday’s game led to emergency surgery for a ruptured testicle, sidelining him for weeks and possibly the rest of the season. Called up just 10 days prior, he was lighting up the minors with a .417 average, a home run, four RBIs, and flawless defense — now his big league debut is on hold as the Athletics, already thin on position players, brace for another tough stretch.
