Mark Ellis

7/1/2006

Ellis was activated off the disabled list by the Athletics on Friday and was in the starting lineup against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Ellis had been sidelined since May 31 with a broken right thumb that forced him to miss 26 games. He played four games for Triple-A Sacramento in a rehab assignment.

Ellis, nursing a broken right thumb, will begin a rehab assignment for Triple-A Sacramento on Monday. He likely will play a couple of games at second base, then will be the designated hitter later in the week before possibly rejoining the A's on Friday night when they host the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Ellis will be placed on the disabled list Thursday after breaking his right thumb during Tuesday's game while trying to break up a double play. The Athletics second baseman is expected to be sidelined for up to six weeks.

Ellis signed a two-year, $6 million contract Saturday with the Oakland Athletics, avoiding arbitration. In his third year with the team, the second baseman hit an impressive .316 with 13 home runs and 52 RBIs in 434 at-bats last season.
