Kennedy was finally placed on the DL retroactive to May 11th meaning he could come off the DL on Friday the 26th, but I don't think he will
Santiago Casilla was called up from Sacramento.
Barton broke a bone in his elbow in a collision and will be out 6 - 8 weeks...I doubt he gets called up this year now...his numbers had dipped a little at AAA, so he obviously needs more time. He's only 20 IIRC.
Wow, this team is in BAD shape . They didn't win a game while I was gone. Crap. Then again, a quick little winning streak could have us right back in it.
The middle relief is KILLING us. I got back just in time to see Nevin hit the walk off.
Things will turn around. This team is to strong to play this for a long period!
If they do look for the team to change managers!
so what did you learn? Don't go on vacation during baseball season, got it? k, goodOriginally Posted by A'sDiehard
Casilla was sent back to AAA and Roney was called up for the 3rd time...
updates
1.) Harden throws two innings for Triple-A Sacramento in Las Vegas, Nev., on Wednesday and starts for the A's against the Twins on Sunday.
2.) Harden makes a full-blown rehab start for Sacramento -- between 60 and 80 pitches -- on Thursday and returns to Oakland's rotation the next Wednesday in Cleveland.
Macha didn't offer any specifics regarding the third scenario, primarily because it won't come into play unless Harden suffers a setback.
things are looking up# Righty reliever Jay Witasick, on the DL with a sprained ankle since April 14, passed his fielding test on Monday and will start a two-game rehab assignment with Sacramento on Tuesday -- he could be back this weekend, too.
# Righty starter Esteban Loaiza, DL'd since April 29, with a strained trapezius, will pitch for Sacramento on Wednesday. His return date likely will be determined in part by the radar readings -- the A's would like to see his fastball at 88 mph or higher. He topped out at 86 mph during a simulated game in Chicago last week.
# Outfielder Milton Bradley, DL'd retroactively to April 27, with a sprained knee that led to a strained oblique, will take batting practice with the team on Tuesday. Barring a setback, he's slated to start what's expected to be a brief rehab stint somewhere in the Minors this weekend.
"There's some light [at the end of the tunnel]," Macha said. "Hopefully it's not a train coming."
Ellis broke his thumb last night and will likely be out 3 - 6 weeks.
Jeremy Brown was called up to replace Ellis on the roster.
