Crisp sits out due to bruised foot
Coco Crisp, a key component of the Oakland Athletics' playoff-contending lineup, missed Tuesday night's game at Cleveland due to a bruised right foot. Manager Bob Melvin said that X-rays were negative and that Crisp is day-to-day. Crisp fouled the first pitch of his third-inning at-bat off his foot Monday night. Crisp is batting .304 in 54 starts since moving into the...

They're tied for the lead in the top spot in the AL Wild Card race with another miracle team (the Baltimore Orioles), and are half a game ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays in those standings. The A's are even within spitting distance of the AL West title, just 5.5 games back of the Texas...
Pitcher Profile: Brett Anderson and the Tommy John Cure
With a young career riddled with injuries, it was tough for A’s fans to see Brett Anderson endure a Tommy John reconstruction surgery, adding further doubt to what kind of career Anderson could put together.

Replays showed that after Anderson had retired the first 13 batters, Michael Brantley was...

Brett Anderson Ascends Via Descent
“It’s his second start and he looks like he’s in midseason form!”
An exasperated Matt Underwood of SportsTime Ohio let out the preceding utterance after Brett Anderson dropped a 78 MPH curveball in for a strike on Cleveland’s Brent Lillibridge with a 1-1 count in the bottom of the third inning Monday. Even by that point it had become a familiar sight for Underwood and...
