OAKLAND, Calif. – The Oakland A’s reinstated first baseman Matt Olson from the 10-day injured list and optioned outfielder Skye Bolt to Triple-A Las Vegas, the club announced today.

Olson was on the A’s Opening Day roster and went 1-for-5 with a walk in two games against Seattle in Japan before injuring his hand on a foul tip in his final at bat in the second game on March 21. He had successful surgery on his right hand the next day at the Kerlan-Jobe Clinic in Los Angeles, Calif. The surgery was performed by Dr. Steven Shin and involved a right hamate excision to Olson’s right hand. Olson began a rehab assignment with Las Vegas last Wednesday and went 4-for-22 (.182) with a home run, two RBI and a walk in five games with the Aviators, including three at first base and two at designated hitter. 

Bolt was recalled from Las Vegas on Friday and made his Major League debut in Pittsburgh that night. He played in each of the three games against the Pirates, going 1-for-4 with a double. Bolt was batting .325 with six home runs and 27 RBI in 22 games in his Triple-A debut with Las Vegas.
