Huston Street

4/24/2006

Street played catch again on Sunday, making 32 throws, but his strained chest muscle kept him from stepping onto a mound over the weekend. The Oakland closer has missed five straight games and it isn't certain that he will be available for the A's series that starts Monday against Texas.

4/23/2006

Street played catch on Saturday and could be available to pitch on Monday after a strained chest muscle has kept him out of the last four games.

4/20/2006

Street has a slight muscle strain on the right side of his chest. The Oakland closer, who felt tightness beneath the armpit area of his throwing arm while converting a save for the Athletics on Tuesday night, will be out of action at least through Friday.

11/7/2005

Street saved 23 games as a 2005 rookie and claimed American League Rookie of the Year honors on Monday. The Oakland right-hander, drafted in 2004, posted an impressive 1.72 ERA and .194 opponent batting average in his first full year of pro ball with the A's. The 22-year-old rookie was 5-1 with 72 strikeouts in 78.1 innings. Street received 15 first-place votes in the balloting.

7/11/2005

Street blew his fourth save of the of the 2005 campaign, but remained on the mound and notched the win in Sunday's extra-inning victory over the Chicago White Sox. The A's closer worked a career-high 3.1 innings, allowing two runs on four hits, including a leadoff homer in the ninth by first baseman Paul Konerko -- the first home run Street has allowed all season. He struck out three and walked none.

6/23/2005

Following his slight hamstring strain on Saturday, Street threw a pain-free side session on Wednesday. The Oakland closer will work another side session on Friday. If all goes well, Street could be back as soon as Saturday against the San Francisco Giants.

6/21/2005

Both Oakland trainer Larry Davis and manager Ken Macha said that Street was doing better on Monday, after incurring a slight hamstring strain on Saturday. While the A's closer is expected to miss the rest of the four-game series against Seattle this week, Macha is hopeful that he will be available for this weekend's interleague series against the San Francisco Giants.

6/20/2005

After tweaking his left hamstring before Oakland's Saturday contest against Philadelphia, Street missed the rest of the A's-Phils series. Justin Duchscherer picked up saves on both Saturday and Sunday in place of Street.

6/18/2005

Street was not available for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies after the reliever tweaked his hamstring before the contest.

5/23/2005

With Oakland closer Octavio Dotel out with a sore right elbow, and Justin Duchscherer still not available because of a back ailment, Street was the A's ninth-inning option over the weekend against San Francisco. The 21-year-old rookie cruised through a quiet ninth inning for an A's win in a non-save situation Friday, but he didn't work Oakland losses on Saturday and Sunday.

5/19/2005

With Octavio Dotel nursing a sore right elbow, Street was in line for Oakland's save opportunity on Wednesday if the A's would have had a late lead. That may be the situation this weekend, as well, when the A's meet San Francisco in an interleague matchup of the Bay Area rivals.
