07/05/2010 - Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Oakland Athletics made several roster moves on Monday, including placing outfielder Conor Jackson on the 15-day disabled list.

Jackson, who was acquired by the A's from Arizona on June 15, is suffering from a strained right hamstring and the move is retroactive to July 1.

On the season, he is batting .245 with one homer and 15 RBI over 56 games.

Also on Monday, the team optioned pitcher Clayton Mortensen to Triple-A Sacramento, recalled outfielder Matt Carson and selected outfielder Matt Watson from Sacramento and transferred outfielder Travis Buck to the 60-day disabled list.

Carson is making his third appearance with Oakland this season and in four games he is 1-for-9 with a home run while Watson has not played in the majors since 2005.

Mortensen started Saturday's game against Cleveland and received a no-decision as he was charged with four runs -- three earned -- on six hits over six innings.
