Oakland Athletics news, rumors and injuriesWed, 22 May 2013 14:57:17 -0700 Oakland Athletics SS Jed Lowrie (foot) was out of the lineup Wednesday, May 22, after being hit by a pitch on his right foot Tuesday, May 21. Share: Athletics | Jed Lowrie leaves game Tue, 21 May 2013 20:03:52 -0700 Oakland Athletics SS Jed Lowrie (foot) left the game Tuesday, May 21, against the Texas Rangers due to a right foot contusion. Fantasy Tip: If Lowrie is expected to miss any time, the A's will likely to to Hiroyuki Nakajima (hamstring), whose minor-league rehab assignment ends Wednesday. Share: Athletics | Coco Crisp gets rest Tue, 21 May 2013 19:06:25 -0700 Oakland Athletics OF Coco Crisp (rest) was held out of the lineup Tuesday, May 21, as manager Bob Melvin gave him a scheduled day of rest. "He ran around a lot last night," Melvin said. "I have to keep him healthy. He wants to play, but he doesn't fight it. He understands. He does have an injury history because of how hard he plays, so it's our job to try to combat that." Share: Athletics | Hiroyuki Nakajima learning new position Tue, 21 May 2013 19:05:55 -0700 Oakland Athletics SS Hiroyuki Nakajima (hamstring) has played second base during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento. His 20-day rehab assignment ends Wednesday, May 22, and a decision needs to be made whether he returns to Oakland or he is optioned to Sacramento. It appears Nakajima will be optioned to the minors, although Melvin said no decision has been made. "His position is shortstop, that's what it's been his whole career, but he's open to playing other positions, too," Melvin said. SS Jed Lowrie is entrenched at shortstop in Oakland. Share: Athletics | Jemile Weeks working at SS in minors Tue, 21 May 2013 19:05:26 -0700 Oakland Athletics 2B Jemile Weeks is learning to play shortstop to improve his chances of another recall from Triple-A Sacramento. Manager Bob Melvin said it was Weeks' idea. "I talked to Sacramento manager Steve Scarsone, and he said he's very playable there," Melvin said. "He wanted to do it, based on the needs at the time. Like anybody, if you can play different positions, that gives you more chances to get here, whether it's at second or shortstop or in a utility role." Share: Athletics | Daric Barton outrighted Tue, 21 May 2013 11:40:14 -0700 Oakland Athletics 1B Daric Barton cleared waivers and was outrighted to the minors Tuesday, May 21. Share: Athletics | Chris Resop outrighted Tue, 21 May 2013 11:33:35 -0700 The Oakland Athletics outrighted RP Chris Resop to the minors after he cleared waivers Monday, May 20. Share: Athletics | Josh Reddick to take BP Friday Mon, 20 May 2013 14:50:20 -0700 Oakland Athletics OF Josh Reddick (wrist) will join the team and take batting practice Friday, May 24. Reddick will be sent out for a rehab assignment after that if he doesn't have any setbacks. Fantasy Tip: This is very positive news for Reddick, who was considering the possibility that he might need to have surgery on his wrist. When he eventually returns, it'll mean even less playing time for Chris B. Young and Seth Smith. Share: Athletics | John Jaso not in lineup Sunday Sun, 19 May 2013 12:56:12 -0700 Oakland Athletics C John Jaso (leg) is not in the lineup against the Kansas City Royals Sunday, May 19. Manager Bob Melvin said Jaso is still feeling discomfort in his right leg after being hit by a pitch from Texas Rangers P Alexi Ogando Wednesday, May 15, and the pain is preventing him from catching. Share: Athletics | Josh Reddick begins hitting Saturday Sun, 19 May 2013 12:51:34 -0700 Oakland Athletics OF Josh Reddick (wrist) hit balls off a tee Saturday, May 18, using both a fungo bat and a baseball bat. Manager Bob Melvin appeared optimistic that he would not require surgery but he is unlikely to be activated from the disabled list when he is eligible to return Wednesday, May 22. Reddick will not accompany the club at the beginning of their road trip and needs to take batting practice and participate in a minor league rehab assignment before he is activated. Share: Athletics | Brett Anderson may miss six weeks Sun, 19 May 2013 00:36:00 -0700 Updating previous items, Oakland Athletics SP Brett Anderson (foot) may be out as long as six weeks due to a stress fracture in his right foot. He has been on the disabled list since May 1. Share: Athletics | Chris Young activated from disabled list Sat, 18 May 2013 12:41:55 -0700 Updating a previous report, the Oakland Athletics have activated OF Chris B. Young (quadriceps) from the disabled list. In a corresponding move, 1B Daric Barton has been designated for assignment. Share: Athletics | Chris Young hopes to return Saturday Fri, 17 May 2013 16:00:30 -0700 Oakland Athletics OF Chris B. Young (quadriceps) had some cramping in his quadriceps Thursday, May 16, but he hopes to return from the disabled list Saturday, May 18. Share: Athletics | Brett Anderson has stress fracture Fri, 17 May 2013 15:02:52 -0700 Oakland Athletics SP Brett Anderson (foot) has been diagnosed with a navicular stress fracture in his right foot, and he'll be re-evaluated in four weeks. Fantasy Tip: At this point, it's probably safe to drop Anderson in most mixed formats. You might be forced to stash him in a DL spot in AL-only leagues. Dan Straily has been struggling in the rotation since Anderson went on the disabled list. Sonny Gray will become a realistic option to replace Straily if he continues to falter. Share: Athletics | Hideki Okajima recalled Fri, 17 May 2013 14:28:25 -0700 The Oakland Athletics recalled RP Hideki Okajima from Triple-A Sacramento Friday, May 17, and designated RP Chris Resop for assignment in a corresponding move.
