A's activate Loaiza from DL

Baseball Betting Lines

08/22/2007 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Oakland Athletics reinstated pitcher Esteban Loaiza from the 15-day disabled list Wednesday in time for his start against the Blue Jays.

This will be the first start of the season for Loaiza, who began the year on the DL with back spasms and was later transferred to the 60-day DL with a bulging disc in his neck and torn meniscus in his right knee. Surgery was eventually performed on his knee May 31.

In four rehab starts for Triple-A Sacramento, Loaiza went 2-0 with a 2.93 ERA. To make room for him on the 40-man roster, the A's transferred pitcher Rich Harden to the 60-day disabled list.

Despite Loaiza's return, the injury bug continued to hit Oakland. Also on Wednesday, the A's placed infielder Donnie Murphy on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right rib cage muscle.

Murphy was hitting .221 with four home runs and 14 RBI in 30 games this season. The A's tied an Oakland record by using the disabled list 22 times this season, equaling the mark set in 1992.
