Brett Anderson Rumors & News

From 95.7 The Game: The A's have announced that SP Brett Anderson has been diagnosed with a navicular stress fracture of his right foot. He will be reevaluated in FOUR weeks. Your reaction? Obviously, this is a blow for the A's, as Anderson never pitched better than right before he went out with the injury. He's not even being evaluated for another month. And a side note: nothing makes me want to win more than this: Starting to look like lost and luckless season for Los Elefantes.

To play for the A's, that is. Susan Slusser is reporting that Josh Reddick will join Coco Crisp, Chris Young, and Brett Anderson on the 15-day DL and that Daric Barton will be called up to take his spot on the roster. This likely means Moss will play a lot of RF the next 2 weeks, alongside Seth Smith and Yoenis Cespedes. Barton is not on the 40 man roster, so this means the A's will need to clear a spot on the 40-man to make room for Barton. So goodbye...Who? (Update: It has been pointed out that "Norberto to the 60 day DL" is a strong possibility that would not require anyone to be re...

First, to recap yesterday's transactions, the A's placed both Brett Anderson and Coco Crisp on the DL. While not entirely unexpected, Anderson was saying he would be fine so it is a little odd. Then again, he always says that and he's clearly off and probably hurting, too. Not a bad idea to shut him down and let him get totally healthy and come back strong. Dan Straily and Luke Montz were called up in their steads. I'll say this about depth: were it not for 4 capable CFs on the roster, Crisp's injury would hurt a lot more. As for Chris Young, Casey Pratt tweeted that he should ...

The A's neatly dispatched of the Angels in a series sweep during their visit to Anaheim at the beginning of the season, but much has changed since the A's sported a fancy 12-4 record. They are now 14-12. Despite the Angels' slow start to the season (9-15), they will be looking for revenge tonight. Why, hello there, Dan Straily! My, how you have been missed! Straily is making the start tonight in place of the hobbled Brett Anderson, and is a welcome relief to the truly horrific starting pitching as of late. I hope he hasn't been around long enough for our starters to rub off on him. St...

Casey Pratt has the news for us: Dan Straily is here. He will be activated tomorrow and Brett Anderson will skip a turn. More to come. #Athletics— Casey Pratt (@CaseyPrattCSN) April 28, 2013 The casualty for Cespedes is Casper Wells: #Athletics reinstate Yoenis Cespedes from the disabled list; designate Casper Wells for assignment.— Oakland Athletics (@Athletics) April 28, 2013 The news about Cespedes comes as no surprise. It was previously reported that Cespedes had taken batting practice in Boston, and completed a three-day rehab assignment with the River Cats uneventful...

Lefty Brett Anderson has another rough start as his ERA climbs above seven.

Brett Anderson tries for the series win, or at least tries to go a full hour without falling over. If only Bartolo Colon could start 7 days a week. It's not even May yet, and it's a little weird that I'm more excited for Colon's starts then Anderson's. The young lefty just hasn't seemed right so far this year, and he's still fighting harder against the forces of gravity than the forces of the opponents' lineups. Forget winning for a moment; I'm just hoping to see Anderson make it a full game without injuring some part of his body in a clutz-tastic way. Lineups: Athletics (B. Ander...
