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.

The A's optioned Elmore to Triple-A Sacramento at the end of camp, but that move has now been voided. He should be recovered within the next two weeks, though he might not join the major league roster immediately. Apr 3

	2	Scott Kazmir Sidelined Scott Kazmir (triceps) said Monday that he feels great and fully expects to make his next start. Kazmir left Sunday's start against the Mariners due to a sore triceps, which was a flare-up of an ailment he dealt with during spring training. He's not doing any throwing Monday like he normally would, but the injury isn't seen as a big deal. He'll also benefit from an extra day of rest with the A's being idle on Thursday. Kazmir boasts a 1.40 ERA with 19 strikeouts over his first 19 1/3 innings this season. Apr 14
	3	A.J. Griffin D.L. A.J. Griffin (elbow) is expected to begin doing strengthening exercises this week in Oakland. Griffin was placed on the disabled list at the end of spring training with a flexor muscle strain in his right elbow and is doubtful to return before the end of April. The 26-year-old owns a 3.60 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 235 strikeouts through his first 282 1/3 major league frames. He will be a valuable fantasy asset when he returns. Apr 7

	7	Jarrod Parker D.L. Athletics placed RHP Jarrod Parker on the 60-day disabled list with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. Parker is set to undergo the second Tommy John surgery of his career on Monday. He won't be a factor again for the Athletics until the early part of the 2015 season. It's a brutal blow, but that good news is that he's still just 25 years old. Mar 20

	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	Drew Pomeranz
	8	Fernando Abad
	9	Fernando Rodriguez D.L. Fernando Rodriguez (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento Thursday. Rodriguez's recovery from Tommy John surgery is going well, and A's manager Bob Melvin noted Wednesday that he expects the reliever to be up with the big club before long. The 29-year-old holds a 4.89 ERA but has struck out 136 over 123 1/3 innings in his career. Apr 2
