Brandon McCarthy (shoulder) is scheduled to resume throwing later this week and is expected to be ready for activation when first eligible on June 2.
Obviously, we won't know for sure if he'll be ready then until we see how he feels after picking up a ball again. But, the A's seem optimistic and McCarthy himself said when he went on the DL that he wouldn't be out long. Feel free to scoop him up in fantasy leagues if he's been dropped.

An MRI on Brandon McCarthy's right shoulder showed no damage to his scapula.
It's good news, as that's been the problem area for the right-hander. McCarthy was placed on the disabled list Sunday and admitted that the shoulder was really bothering him in his last start, but he thinks the injury is minor and his goal is to return in 15 days. Graham Godfrey is replacing McCarthy in the rotation.

Athletics placed RHP Brandon McCarthy on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 18, with a strained right shoulder.
McCarthy made two starts since having an outing pushed back due to shoulder trouble, but he's obviously not over the ailment. The tall right-hander has a history of shoulder problems, and it's not clear at this point how long he'll be out. The A's haven't said who will replace him in the rotation, but Graham Godfrey and Brad Peacock are options.
May 20 - 12:32 PM
Brandon McCarthy struck out 10 in seven scoreless innings to defeat the Tigers on Saturday.
The shoulder scare isn't looking so bad now. McCarthy has allowed more than two earned runs just once in eight starts this season, and he now has three wins in a row to show for it after opening the season 0-3. The 10 strikeouts tonight matched his career high.

Brandon Inge
D.L.
Brandon Inge (groin) did 14-15 sprints on Tuesday and is scheduled to do more running Wednesday.
Inge was placed on the disabled list 10 days ago with a strained left groin. He's optimistic about returning when he's first eligible Monday. The veteran third baseman has five home runs and 17 RBI in 11 games since joining the A's.

Scott Sizemore underwent successful surgery on his left knee Wednesday morning.
Sizemore was expected to open the season as the A's starting third baseman, but he tore the ACL in his left knee early in camp and has been ruled out for the entire 2012 season. However, he's fully expected to be ready for spring training next year.

Yoenis Cespedes
D.L.
Yoenis Cespedes will change the way he grips a bat in time for his return from the disabled list.
Cespedes used to nestle the knob of the bat in the palm of his hand, but the A's think that may have caused the muscle strain that sent him to the disabled list and want him to stop. "It's not like Yoenis has an easy swing; he swings the bat hard," manager Bob Melvin said. "This is proactive." Cespedes should be ready by early June.

Manny Ramirez

Athletics manager Bob Melvin said Wednesday that the team is not "locked into" activating Manny Ramirez on May 30.
Ramirez is eligible to join the A's on May 30, but the team wants him to get around 40 at-bats in the minors and show that he can produce offensively. He's 3-for-8 with two walks over his first three games with Triple-A Sacramento.

Dallas Braden
D.L.
Dallas Braden (shoulder) has currently halted his throwing program.
Braden had been playing catch often, but the A's have decided he needs to build up more shoulder strength before throwing again. He remains without a timetable for return, but we almost surely won't see him before the All-Star break.

Brett Anderson
D.L.
Brett Anderson (elbow) will be shut down for a few days with forearm tightness.
It's not a huge concern at this point, given he's coming back from Tommy John surgery. If all goes as scheduled, he could rejoin Oakland's rotation as soon as late June or early July.
