Michael Taylor went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run on Wednesday against the Brewers.
Taylor has had a nice couple of days in the Cactus League. He homered off of Yovani Gallardo in the second inning, then doubled and scored in the sixth. He went 3-for-3 with a double on Tuesday. Still, there just isn't any room on the roster for Taylor and even if there were, Sam Fuld would have the inside track at this point in time.
Mar 5 - 6:30 PM
Michael Taylor went 3-for-3 with a double and a run scored on Tuesday against the Brewers.
It is certainly a nice showing from the outfielder, but Taylor will open up the season in Triple-A again.
Mar 4 - 6:18 PM
Athletics optioned OF Michael Taylor to Triple-A Sacramento.
The move presumably clears the way for Coco Crisp's return from the disabled list Wednesday. Taylor, 27, is 1-for-23 (.043) in nine games with the A's this season.
Wed, May 15, 2013 08:30:00 AM
Athletics recalled OF Michael Taylor from Triple-A Sacramento.
It's the second time Taylor has been called up this season. He posted a .996 OPS in 18 games at the Triple-A level and will provide outfield depth with Chris Young on the disabled list.

Craig Gentry
Sidelined
Athletics manager Bob Melvin said Thursday that Craig Gentry (back) is "very close" to returning to the field.
While he's nearly ready to do drills again, there's no timetable for his Cactus League debut. "Once we get him out on a field, we'll see how many at-bats we can get him," Melvin said. "To an extent, a lot of it has to do with how he feels, first physically, and then at the plate." Melvin reiterated that he expects Gentry to be ready for Opening Day.

Ryan Cook (shoulder) said Saturday that he felt great after his second spring bullpen session.
Cook was able to ramp up to full velocity for the first time this spring, and noted that his shoulder felt fine before and after the session. The hard-throwing 26-year-old is expected to work in a setup capacity in front of new closer Jim Johnson.

Eric O'Flaherty
D.L.
Athletics placed LHP Eric O'Flaherty on the 60-day disabled list with a left elbow injury.
O'Flaherty underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery last May and probably won't be ready to contribute out of the A's bullpen until June. Oakland signed the 29-year-old left-hander to a two-year, $7 million free agent contract in late January.

Fernando Rodriguez
Sidelined
Fernando Rodriguez (elbow) threw a successful simulated game on Friday.
Rodriguez noted that he was pleased with the results on Friday, though the A's maintain that he likely won't appear in a live game during the Cactus League season. The 29-year-old hurler missed the entire 2013 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He's expected to be a bullpen option for the A's early in the regular season.
