A's place Khris Davis on DL with groin injury

The Oakland Athletics are going to be without their most powerful hitter for the foreseeable future, as the team announced Wednesday it's placed Khris Davis on the 10-day disabled list with a strained right groin, retroactive to May 21.

He hopes to miss the minimum of 10 days, according to MLB.com's Jane Lee.

Davis was hitting .235/.307/.497 with 13 home runs and 38 RBIs in 47 games before hitting the DL.

The 30-year-old suffered the injury on a swing Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays and was diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain after an MRI on Tuesday.

Since coming to the Bay Area following a trade with Milwaukee, Davis has been one of the league's top home run hitters, accumulating 98 long balls in 350 games with Oakland.

In corresponding moves, the Athletics recalled right-hander Daniel Gossett and infielder Franklin Barreto from Triple-A Nashville and designated right-hander Wilmer Font for assignment.
