NEWS UPDATE
If the Oakland Athletics had a mathematical chance of making the postseason that ended yesterday. The A’s decided to shutdown three of its starters for the remainder of the season, waving the white flag.
Six-time Gold Glove third baseman Eric Chavez, center fielder Mark Kotsay and rookie outfielder Travis Buck will not return to the A’s lineup this season.
Kotsay began 2007 on the disabled list after having back surgery. Chavez will have his right shoulder operated on this Wednesday and Buck will have surgery on his right elbow Sept. 10.
Oakland was three games under .500, 14 games behind in the AL West and 9 ½ games out in the Wild Card entering September. The A’s have used a franchise-record and major league-leading 51 players this season.
