Newsbreakers

August 21, 2009

ESPN.com reports that A's pitcher Justin Duchscherer will miss the rest of the season after being diagnosed with depression.

Our View:

The A's have reclassified Duchscherer's DL status to reflect his clinical depression. Apparently he has been battling the condition for some time now, but only recently came forward to set an example for other athletes suffering with the same affliction. He now joins Khalil Greene, Joey Votto, Zach Greinke and Dontrelle Willis on the list of baseball players who have recently dealt with the disease.

August 16, 2009

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Justin Duchscherer will not pitch on Monday due to a "non-baseball related issue".

Our View:

Duchscherer is finally healthy, but still won't be pitching for the A's. No word on what the non-baseball issue is about, but it's serious enough to keep him off the mound and record an inning in 2009. Brett Tomko will get the start in his place.

August 14, 2009

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that injured A's starter Justin Duchscherer threw five scoreless innings in his final rehab start.

Our View:

Duchscherer pitched in a rookie league game in Scottsdale to finish up his rehab. He is expected to be back with the A's next week and rejoin their rotation. Having missed the entire season to this point, he will be a risky fantasy start upon his return, but comes with plenty of upside.

August 13, 2009

Updating a previous report, A's pitcher Justin Duchscherer is now expected to pitch for the team on Tuesday, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. He was originally projected to start Friday, but the team wanted him to throw another session in the minors before bringing him up.

Our View:

Duchscherer will go on Tuesday against the Yankees as long as his 60-pitch outing goes well tonight. He won't be a good matchup on Tuesday, but AL-only leaguers will want to give him a look for the stretch run, and mixed leaguers should monitor him as well.

August 12, 2009

The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that A's starter Justin Duchscherer could return to the team as soon as Friday. The A's will need a starter to take the place of the injured Dallas Braden, and Duchscherer looks to be ready after his impressive rehab start for Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

Our View:

If the A's do make the move to Duchscherer, he will be on an 80-pitch limit, but he could be a nice boost to the team if he is healthy. Duchscherer is a former All-Star, representing the A's both as a starter and a reliever, so the team has some options with him for the rest of the season. If he would rejoin the rotation as a regular, he would definitely be worth a look in most leagues.
