UTK: A's Edition
The Angels started the season with two big guns in the rotation off the list, and with Vlad and Howie missing significant time due to hit-by-pitches (Howie especially so), it seems meet to take a look at how things are going for the A's in today's UTK:
It wasn't a very good day for the A's. My phone pinged me Sunday afternoon, telling me that Rotowire had noted that Milton Bradley appeared to aggravate his hamstring in the game. Whoever noted that was right--Bradley appears headed to the DL with a recurrent strain, one that will mix up the outfield situation in Oakland yet again. For what it's worth, the re-injury happened on a hustle play as Bradley legged out an infield hit. Adding to Oakland's troubles is that Rich Harden won't make his anticipated (but not scheduled) Tuesday start. Instead, Harden will try to get on the mound Tuesday for a side session, the final test in his rehab. Assuming that goes well, Harden should slot back in over the weekend. In his absence, lefty Brad Halsey will be called up to take the start for the A's.There was an incidental note about Halsey over at BTF earlier in the day; apparently he was optioned/DFA'd to AAA Sacramento after the team's trainer said he needed an MRI. Halsey had been complaining of arm pain during spring training, but now that he can't pitch with it, they send him down to AAA, where he can take minor league pay while spending time on the DL. Assuming Halsey's story is correct, that's pretty bush league of Oakland...
