Justin Duchscherer

5/13/2006

Duchscherer was placed on the 15-day disabled list by the Athletics due to right elbow tendinitis. The right-hander has not appeared in a game since May 6 when he allowed a solo home run over one inning in a 3-2 win over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

Duchscherer is bothered by tendinitis in his right elbow, which has kept the Oakland reliever from throwing his breaking stuff. The Oakland Web site is reporting that the right-hander was doing better Thursday, but he remains day-to-day. He is 2-1 with two saves and a 2.20 ERA in 15 appearances this season.

Duchscherer didn't pitch in this week's Minnesota series because of back spasms, but the A's righthanded reliever is expected to be available against Texas this weekend. He is 6-4 with a 2.27 ERA and five saves in 60 games this season.

9/21/2005

Duchscherer may not be available in Oakland's bullpen until the weekend because of a back ailment that has flared up from time to time this season. The A's setup man believes the six-hour flight from Boston to Oakland on Sunday may have played a role in his current discomfort.

6/20/2005

With Huston Street sidelined temporarily with a hamstring injury, Duchscherer stepped up and picked up saves in Oakland victories over Philadelphia on Saturday and Sunday. The 27-year-old righthander picked up a win in his outing prior to his two save chances over the weekend, and he's allowed just two hits and fanned five without giving up a run in his last 4.2 innings of work.

For the first time since May 9, Duchscherer was available to pitch out of Oakland's bullpen on Tuesday. The 27-year-old righthander has been rehabbing a back ailment that lingered longer than anticipated.

While his return was anticipated this weekend, Duchscherer wasn't ready to pitch in the Oakland bullpen this weekend. He's still rehabbing a back ailment that has kept him out of action since May 9. The 27-year-old reliever, who is 2-0 with a 1.33 ERA in 15 appearances this season, could be ready for game action on Tuesday. He threw 34 pitches in a bullpen session on Sunday, and if he feels good Monday, he's probably a go when the A's play at Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

Out since May 9 with back pain, Duchscherer may be available in Oakland's bullpen Friday, when the A's take on San Francisco in the first round of interleague play. If the 27-year-old righthander is able to pitch, he could quickly join the ninth-inning scenario with Octavio Dotel nursing a sore right elbow. Duchscherer and Huston Street are the likely candidates for ninth-inning duty this weekend.

Out with back pain since May 9, Duchscherer will receive an epidural today and be out until at least Friday. The Oakland reliever missed four days last year after similar treatment.
