Brandon Inge (groin) went 5-for-5 with two doubles, two homers and seven RBI in a rehab game for Triple-A Sacramento Saturday.
Yeah, we'd say he's ready. Inge is eligible to return from the disabled list Monday, and he should be activated at that time.
Bartolo Colon yielded six earned runs over six innings as part of a loss to the Yankees Saturday.
Colon struck out three, walked none and gave up seven hits. He's now given up four earned runs or more in three of his last four starts and has just 41 strikeouts in 67 2/3 innings on the season. Colon does get a softer spot in Kansas City next time out.
Josh Reddick hit his 13th home run of the season in Saturday's loss to the Yankees.
Redick isn't slowing down just yet. He impressively took CC Sabathia deep for a solo blast in the third inning, giving him six more homers than he had in 87 games with the Red Sox last season. There's sell-high appeal here.
Travis Blackley will start Monday against the Twins.
The A's were planning to use Graham Godfrey that day but needed him in relief in Saturday's loss to the Yankees. Blackley should be avoided in most fantasy formats.
Yoenis Cespedes (hand) is expected to begin his rehab assignment Monday at Triple-A Sacramento.
Cespedes will take batting practice with the Athletics on Sunday and thinks he'll only need one or two rehab games to be ready. The Cuban outfielder has been sidelined since the first week of May with a muscle strain in his left hand. He is in the process of changing his grip on the bat in order to avoid the same injury in the future.
Graham Godfrey (finger) threw a bullpen session Saturday and reported no issues.
Godfrey dealt with a blister in his last start, but is expected to make his scheduled start Monday for the injured Brandon McCarthy (shoulder). He currently owns a 6.16 ERA and 9/10 K/BB ratio over four starts this year and should be ignored outside of AL-only formats.
Tyson Ross surrendered six runs -- three earned -- in 4 1/3 innings Friday in a loss to the Yankees.
Ross had given up just two homers in 37 2/3 innings this season, but tonight Mark Teixeira, Robinson Cano and Nick Swisher all took him deep. It was a definite setback for the right-hander, but a rough outing against such a strong offense shouldn't cost him his rotation spot.
