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.

2B	1	Alberto Callaspo D.L. Alberto Callaspo (hamstring) took a successful round of batting practice Tuesday. It's the first time he's done so since landing on the DL. Callaspo has also done some running, though he's yet to run the bases. He's expected to be activated in the middle of next week if all goes well. Jul 22

	7	Jarrod Parker D.L. Jarrod Parker (elbow) is hoping to be cleared to begin a throwing program in 2-3 weeks. Parker, of course, is recovering from Tommy John surgery that he had in late March. It was the second such operation of his career, so it's possible he'll need a little more time than your average Tommy John rehabber. Jul 7
