Athletics sent OF Michael Taylor outright to Triple-A Sacramento.
Taylor was designated for assignment by the A's at the end of spring training after he failed to claim an Opening Day roster spot. The 28-year-old has been a very productive hitter in the minor leagues, so it's a bit surprising that he made it through waivers unclaimed. He'll go on serving as organizational outfield depth for Oakland.
Apr 3 - 2:55 PM
Athletics designated OF Michael Taylor for assignment.
The move wasn't unexpected, as the A's didn't have a place for the 28-year-old and he was out of options. Taylor batted .274/.348/.532 with three home runs this spring and will likely get claimed by another club in the coming days.
Mar 29 - 5:44 PM
According to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, the A's are expected to place Michael Taylor on waivers.
Heyman suspects that Taylor could draw interest because of the strong offensive numbers that he has posted this spring. The 28-year-old outfielder owns a decent .811 OPS in 482 games at the Triple-A level. He's never really been given a shot in the major leagues.
Mar 27 - 3:04 PM

Jon Heyman on Twitter
Michael Taylor went 2-for-5 with a double, triple, three RBI and two runs scored against the White Sox on Tuesday.
Taylor has had an outstanding spring to date, now hitting .313. Nine of his 15 hits have gone for extra bases. If the Athletics can't find room for Taylor on the 25-man roster, they should generate some interest if they make him available in a trade.

Athletics placed INF Jake Elmore on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 28, with a hamstring strain.
The A's optioned Elmore to Triple-A Sacramento at the end of camp, but that move has now been voided. He should be recovered within the next two weeks, though he might not join the major league roster immediately.

Sidelined
Scott Kazmir (triceps) said Monday that he feels great and fully expects to make his next start.
Kazmir left Sunday's start against the Mariners due to a sore triceps, which was a flare-up of an ailment he dealt with during spring training. He's not doing any throwing Monday like he normally would, but the injury isn't seen as a big deal. He'll also benefit from an extra day of rest with the A's being idle on Thursday. Kazmir boasts a 1.40 ERA with 19 strikeouts over his first 19 1/3 innings this season.

A.J. Griffin
D.L.
A.J. Griffin (elbow) is expected to begin doing strengthening exercises this week in Oakland.
Griffin was placed on the disabled list at the end of spring training with a flexor muscle strain in his right elbow and is doubtful to return before the end of April. The 26-year-old owns a 3.60 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 235 strikeouts through his first 282 1/3 major league frames. He will be a valuable fantasy asset when he returns.

Athletics placed RHP Jarrod Parker on the 60-day disabled list with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.
Parker is set to undergo the second Tommy John surgery of his career on Monday. He won't be a factor again for the Athletics until the early part of the 2015 season. It's a brutal blow, but that good news is that he's still just 25 years old.

Eric O'Flaherty (elbow) threw an 18-pitch bullpen session Tuesday.
It was the first time since last May's Tommy John surgery that O'Flaherty threw the full distance from the mound to the catcher. The A's are hoping to have the left-hander has part of their bullpen but June.

Fernando Rodriguez (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento Thursday.
Rodriguez's recovery from Tommy John surgery is going well, and A's manager Bob Melvin noted Wednesday that he expects the reliever to be up with the big club before long. The 29-year-old holds a 4.89 ERA but has struck out 136 over 123 1/3 innings in his career.
