Fernando Rodriguez - R - Athletics

Athletics acquired RHP Fernando Rodriguez from the Astros in a five-player trade.

Rodriguez holds a 4.89 ERA over 119 career appearances, but he's a hard-thrower that's struck out over a batter per inning. He'll work in a middle relief role for the A's.

Feb 4 - 6:16 PM

Fernando Rodriguez - R - Athletics

Astros manager Brad Mills is concerned about Fernando Rodriguez after the reliever has showed diminished velocity in recent outings.

Mills isn't worried that Rodriguez is hurt, and the reliever himself said he's fine physically. But, the manager thinks the former starter might be tiring out after a full season of relief work. Mills said he might use Rodriguez sparingly down the stretch with the bullpen reinforced by September call-ups.

Fernando Rodriguez - R - Athletics

Fernando Rodriguez isn't expected to be in Triple-A long.

The Astros didn't want to option Rodriguez, but they had to free up a roster spot for Brian Espisito, who will serve as the backup catcher while J.R. Towles nurses a cut on his chin. The owner of a 3.21 ERA and 20/5 K/BB ratio over 14 innings, Rodriguez could be back once his 10 days are up or possibly even sooner if someone suffers an injury. "We were in a bind," manager Brad Mills said. "Fernando was great. He understood the whole situation. and hopefully that can be resolved pretty shortly."

Fernando Rodriguez - R - Athletics

Astros signed RHP Fernando Rodriguez to a minor league deal.

Rodriguez failed to make it up to the big leagues with the Angels in 2010 after appearing once for them the season before. He held a 5.92 ERA at Triple-A Salt Lake but did have a decent 7.8 K/9 rate. He's been a starter and reliever in the minors but will attempt to earn a bullpen spot with the Astros.

Angels designated RHP Fernando Rodriguez for assignment.

Rodriguez was cleared in order to make room for outfielder Michael Ryan on the 40-man roster. Rodriguez, 26, made one appearance with the Angels last season, allowing three runs -- two earned -- over two-thirds of an inning last May. He has a 4.68 ERA over parts of eight seasons in the minor leagues.

Fernando Rodriguez - R - Athletics

Angels optioned RHP Fernando Rodriguez to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Rodriguez gave up a two-run home run and walked two batters in just 2/3 of an inning Saturday in his only action since being recalled last week. While he was off to a hot start in the minors this season, he couldn't translate that success to the bigs - but he may get a shot later in the season if he can return to his earlier form.

	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
	2	Hiroyuki Nakajima D.L. Hiroyuki Nakajima (hamstring) received a day off from his rehab assignment on Saturday but will play in each of the next three games with Triple-A Sacramento. Nakajima has appeared in four games thus far with Sacramento, going 3-for-15 (.200) with a double and a pair of RBI. He's expected to need a lengthy rehab assignment before joining the Athletics, and isn't a lock to receive significant playing time once he is activated. May 11

LF	1	Yoenis Cespedes
CF	1	Coco Crisp
	2	Chris Young D.L. Chris Young (quad) had some cramping in his leg after Thursday's rehab game, but hopes to be activated from the disabled list on Saturday. Young was originally expected to be activated following Thursday's rehab game, but it appears that the leg cramping set him back a day. It's not expected to be a major setback, so look for him to return to the A's lineup at some point over the weekend. May 17
RF	1	Josh Reddick D.L. Josh Reddick admitted Monday that it's possible he'll need surgery on his ailing right wrist. The good news is that Reddick has no structural damage, and he's already feeling better since being shut down over the last week. However, he'll wait another week before trying to swing a bat, and if he's not able to at that time, surgery might be required. Reddick had an operation on his left wrist after the 2011 season and need two months of recovery time, so if he does get cut open he's likely to be out past the All-Star break. May 13
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
