Ben Copeland - OF - Indians

Athletics designated outfielder Ben Copeland for assignment.

Copeland, a rule 5 draftee, didn't receive an at-bat after being activated from the disabled list on May 5. He spent the first few weeks of the season on the disabled list with a sprained shoulder.

Ben Copeland - OF - Indians

Athletics activated outfielder Ben Copeland from the 15-day disabled list.

Copeland is very likely to prove to be a waste of a roster spot, but what's one more? The Rule 5 pick from the Giants organization hit .261/.334/.417 in 372 at-bats for Double-A Connecticut last season. He had gone 6-for-13 on his rehab assignment after going down this spring with a sprained shoulder.

Ben Copeland - OF - Indians

Athletics placed outfielder Ben Copeland on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 27, with a sprained left shoulder.

Copeland, a Rule 5 pick from the Giants, was never a threat to make the A's, but the team will be able to keep him around because of the injury he sustained last month.

Ben Copeland - OF - Indians

Rule 5 outfielder Ben Copeland injured his right shoulder making a catch at the center field wall on Monday.

Ben Copeland - OF - Indians

Athletics selected outfielder Ben Copeland from the Giants with the 10th pick in the Rule 5 draft.

Copeland hit .261/.334/.417 in 372 at-bats for Double-A Connecticut and .341/.417/.388 in 85 at-bats for Triple-A Fresno as a 24-year-old last season. He stole 24 bases in all. An average defensive center fielder and a left-handed hitter, he has a chance at a career as a reserve outfielder. If the A's carry him, it would likely be at the expense of another outfielder they picked up from the Giants, Rajai Davis.

	2	Lou Marson D.L. Lou Marson (shoulder) admitted Monday that there is no timetable for his return to the Indians' active roster. Marson has begun throwing but is not yet performing any other baseball activities due to lingering soreness in his shoulder and neck. "It's definitely frustrating," the catcher told MLB.com. "I know what it is and kind of what I have to do. Hopefully, I can get on the field soon." May 20

	3	Brett Myers D.L. Brett Myers (elbow) will make at least one more rehab start. Myers' velocity was down on Wednesday in his second rehab outing with Double-A Akron, and he walked four while allowing three runs over 4 1/3 frames. Assuming his velocity comes back up the next time out, he could rejoin the Indians' rotation after that. May 23
	4	Zach McAllister
	5	Scott Kazmir
	6	Josh Tomlin D.L. Josh Tomlin (Tommy John surgery) could return near the end of the season. Tomlin went under the knife last August. At this point in his rehab, it's hard to predict if a 2013 return is in the cards. Tomlin has said he'd rather be 100 percent for 2014 rather than making a premature late-season return this year. The right-hander posted a 6.36 ERA in 16 starts and five relief appearances with the Indians last season. May 24
Relief Pitcher

	10	Blake Wood D.L. Blake Wood (elbow) will continue his minor league rehab assignment Wednesday with Class A Lake County. Wood felt some soreness in his surgically-repaired elbow during his first appearance on Saturday, but it was only a minor scare. The 27-year-old right-hander is currently in recovery mode from Tommy John surgery and will likely need a handful of appearances before he's a legitimate consideration for the major league roster. May 14
	11	Frank Herrmann D.L. Indians transferred RHP Frank Herrmann from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot for the newly-claimed Robert Whitenack on the 40-man roster. Herrmann had Tommy John surgery in March and will miss the entire 2013 season. Apr 3
