Athletics optioned INF Shane Peterson to Triple-A Sacramento; reassignned LHP Andrew Werner, RHPs Jose Flores and Jeremy McBryde and C Bruce Maxwell to minor league camp.

No real surprises among the bunch here, as is typical with early spring roster cut-downs. The 26-year-old Peterson had a solid year at Triple-A Sacramento in 2013, slashing .251/.358/.387 with 12 homers, 79 RBI and 17 stolen bases. His versatility could lead to him getting a chance with the A's at some point during the 2014 season. Mar 9 - 7:12 PM

Shane Peterson - 1B - Athletics

Athletics optioned OF/1B Shane Peterson to Triple-A Sacramento.

Peterson was up for a couple days while Brandon Moss was on paternity leave, picking up a hit and an RBI in seven at-bats. He should get another chance this summer.

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.

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.

	2	Daric Barton Sidelined Athletics manager Bob Melvin said Monday that Daric Barton (hamstring) will miss at least a few more days. Barton left Saturday's Cactus League game due to a Grade 1 strain of his right hamstring. There's no sense risking making things worse, so he'll rest for now. Mar 10

	2	Craig Gentry Sidelined Craig Gentry (back) hit off a tee Monday, but Oakland still doesn't have a timetable for his return to game action. His activity on the practice fields is slowly increasing each day, so it's only a matter of time before he steps between the lines. Gentry has yet to make his Cactus League debut due to a lower back strain. Acquired from the Rangers over the winter, Gentry batted .288 with a .365 on-base percentage last season in Texas. Mar 11

	2	Ryan Cook Sidelined 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. Mar 8

	6	Eric O'Flaherty D.L. 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. Mar 11
	7	Dan Otero
	8	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. Mar 8
