The Oakland Athletics placed right-hander Austin Adams on the 15-day injured list on Sunday with right forearm tendinitis.

The move is retroactive to Thursday. In a corresponding move, the A’s activated right-hander Dany Jimenez (strained left oblique) from the 15-day IL.

Jimenez pitched Sunday, taking over in the 10th against the Giants. He gave up a home run on his first pitch of the game, then gave up another four pitches later in the Athletics’ 4-2 loss to San Francisco.

The Oakland A’s reinstated right-handed pitcher Dany Jiménez from the 15-day injured list and placed right-handed pitcher Austin Adams on the 15-day IL retroactive to August 15 with tendinitis in his right forearm.

More on the Oakland Athletics roster moves

In his one inning of relief, Jimenez yielded three runs (two earned) and two hits while striking out three without issuing a walk to take the loss.

Adams, 33, is 1-2 with a 3.92 ERA, 23 walks, 53 strikeouts and an American League-leading 13 hit batters in 41 1/3 innings over 56 relief appearances in his first season with Oakland.

In parts of eight seasons, Adams is 7-7 with a 4.10 ERA, 98 walks and 223 strikeouts in 155 2/3 innings over 188 games (two starts) with the Washington Nationals (2017-19), Seattle Mariners (2019), San Diego Padres (2020-22), Arizona Diamondbacks (2023) and Athletics.

Adams signed as a free agent with the New York Mets in November but later was designated for assignment, and his contract was then purchased by the A’s in March.

Jimenez, 30, is 1-3 with one save, a 3.65 ERA, 18 walks and 24 strikeouts in 24 2/3 innings over 24 relief appearances this season. He is 4-9 in his career with 13 saves and a 3.55 ERA in 85 games (one start) for the San Francisco Giants (2020) and Athletics (2022-24).
