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.

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).
