Injuries
Finger - Out until at least May 28 at Minnesota (Updated - 5/23/12)
News
Graham Godfrey felt some discomfort in the middle finger of his pitching hand while warming up Tuesday night and thought he could pitch through it. Instead, it led to an early departure. Albert Pujols homered for the third time in seven days, while Mark Trumbo and Howie Kendrick both had RBI singles and the Los Angeles Angels held the Oakland Athletics to one hit in a 5-0 victory. Godfrey (0-4) acknowledged the soreness in his finger worsened as the game went along. With it affecting his breaking pitches, Godfrey was unable to locate pitches. He departed after giving up four runs and six hits in three innings. The Angels went 6 for 11 against him. "When I extended it or bent it, that's when I felt discomfort," Godfrey said. "Right now I have the sensation it's jammed. It's a little swollen. I didn't have it tonight. I thought I could battle through it. It's disappointing and frustrating."

News
A’s starting pitcher Jarrod Parker ended his personal two-game losing streak on Wednesday against the Angels, pitching seven strong innings of one-run ball, however he was matched inning for inning by Angels’ starter Jered Weaver, as they both received no decisions with the game heading into extra innings. Parker established a new career high in strikeouts in the game, fanning eight batters while walking only one and scattering five hits, however his own offense was equally baffled throughout the game. His ERA now sits at 3.38 after the game.

News
A's pitcher Tyson Ross did not last long in his outing against the Yankees on Friday. He allowed six runs (three earned) on 11 hits over 4 1/3 innings in the 6-3 loss. An error in the third led to a three-spot before the right-hander ran into trouble again in the fifth. He surrendered a leadoff home run to Robinson Cano and was pulled after giving up a two-run homer to Nick Swisher. He was done after throwing 97 pitches, 62 for strikes. Ross also struck out three and walked two while taking his fifth loss of the season.

Wrist - 15-day DL. Out until at least late May (Updated - 5/22/12)
News
MLB.com reports A's outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, on the 15-day disabled list, took 28 swings inside the batting cages on Friday and is scheduled to take batting practice Saturday. He could return from his strained left hand during Oakland's series against Kansas City, which begins Friday, after manager Bob Mevlin said that Cespedes might need to go out on a rehab assignment. "There's a chance of that, yes," Melvin said. "He's a guy that likes to feel comfortable. Today, he was frustrated with some of his swings because he wanted his mechanics to be perfect, so I think we're getting close to being past the physical part and more about him just feeling comfortable. We want him to be comfortable when he comes back into the lineup."
