Shane Peterson - 1B - Athletics

Athletics recalled OF Shane Peterson from Triple-A Sacramento.

Peterson will provide some extra depth while Brandon Moss is the paternity leave list. He's unlikely to be fantasy relevant during his brief stay with the club.

Apr 16 - 2:44 PM

Shane Peterson - 1B - Athletics

Shane Peterson will be called up from Triple-A Sacramento if Brandon Moss is placed on the paternity leave list.

Moss' wife hasn't had the baby yet, so the Athletics haven't made a roster move. John Jaso, Josh Donaldson and Jed Lowrie will function as first base depth Friday if Moss is unavailable and Peterson isn't added to the roster.

Shane Peterson - 1B - Athletics

Athletics purchased the contract of OF Shane Peterson from Triple-A Sacramento.

He's now protected from the Rule 5 Draft. Peterson, 24, batted .326/.460/.510 with nine homers and 13 steals between Double-A and Triple-A in 2012. He's viewed as an extra outfielder but could make his debut sometime next season.

Shane Peterson - 1B - Athletics

Athletics acquired OF Shane Peterson from the Cardinals in the Matt Holliday trade.

Peterson, 21, has just one home run this year in Double-A Springfield. Since power was the missing ingredient for Peterson coming into the season, this is problematic. He does get on base a ton, so his acquisition by Billy Beane shouldn't come as any surprise.

Shane Peterson - 1B - Athletics

In four at-bats, Shane Peterson doubled three times and tripled Thursday for Single-A Palm Beach.

Peterson, a Long Beach State product, doesn't impress scouts, but the Cardinals invested a second-round pick in him last year and opted to have him open this year as the cleanup hitter for their FSL affiliate. Defense isn't a strong suit -- he'd probably fare quite a bit better at first base than in the outfield -- so he'll need to show plenty of power in order to get a job in the majors someday. His on-base skills aren't in question.

Depth Charts

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	John Jaso
	2	Derek Norris
1B	1	Brandon Moss
	2	Nate Freiman
	3	Daric Barton
2B	1	Eric Sogard
	2	Adam Rosales
	3	Scott Sizemore D.L. Athletics transferred INF Scott Sizemore from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. It's a procedural move to open up a 40-man roster spot. Sizemore underwent his second major knee surgery in two years last week and will not play this season. Apr 22
SS	1	Jed Lowrie Sidelined An X-ray on Jed Lowrie's right foot came back clean. Lowrie was injury Tuesday when he was hit by a Yu Darvish pitch. He won't play Wednesday but should be back in the lineup Friday following Thursday's off day. May 21
	2	Hiroyuki Nakajima
3B	1	Josh Donaldson
LF	1	Yoenis Cespedes
CF	1	Coco Crisp
	2	Chris Young
RF	1	Josh Reddick D.L. Josh Reddick (wrist) will try taking batting practice on Friday. If it goes well, he'll be cleared to begin a rehab assignment. Reddick discussed last week the possibility of surgery on his right wrist, but he's been able to take dry swings with no issues. If he doesn't suffer any setbacks, it seems possible that he could be activated sometime next week. May 20
DH	1	Seth Smith
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Brett Anderson D.L. Brett Anderson was diagnosed with a navicular stress fracture of his right foot and will be shut down for four weeks. Rough news for Anderson, who just can't seem to stay healthy. The 25-year-old southpaw is set to be reevaluated after four weeks, so his actual return to the Athletics likely won't be until around the early part of July. Dan Straily is filling his spot in the rotation for now, but the A's could turn to Sonny Gray if he continues to struggle. May 17
	2	Jarrod Parker
	3	Tommy Milone
	4	Bartolo Colon
	5	A.J. Griffin
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Grant Balfour
	2	Ryan Cook
	3	Sean Doolittle
	4	Jerry Blevins
	5	Pat Neshek
	6	Jesse Chavez
	7	Hideki Okajima
	8	Fernando Rodriguez D.L. Fernando Rodriguez underwent successful Tommy John surgery on his right elbow on Thursday. Rodriguez will miss the entire 2013 season. The 28-year-old had a 5.37 and 78/34 K/BB ratio over 70 1/3 innings last season with the Astros and was acquired in February's Jed Lowrie deal. Mar 28
