Shifts to 60-day IL
The Athletics transferred Sterner (knee) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
Analyse
After undergoing right knee surgery Friday, Sterner had already been ruled out for the rest of the season. His move to the 60-day injured list is merely procedural, as it opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver pickup Joe Rock. The 29-year-old Sterner logged a 6.12 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 40:13 K:BB over 42.2 innings out of the bullpen before hitting the shelf July 18.

Set to see knee specialist
Sterner will see a knee specialist at Stanford this week, per MLB.com.
Analyse
Sterner, who landed on the injured list July 18 due to right knee chondromalacia, recently felt increased soreness when throwing, prompting a visit with a specialist. A more formal timeline for his return should emerge following the right-hander's appointment. Prior to hitting the shelf, Sterner posted a 6.12 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 40:13 K:BB across 42.2 innings of relief work.
