Athletics placed OF Matt Watson on the 15-day disabled list with kidney stones. | ||||||
The 32-year-old rookie was a nice story, but Watson doesn't really have the power, speed or defensive ability to stick in a regular role in the major leagues and is therefore not relevant in fantasy leagues. Now he gets to deal with painful kidney stones. | ||||||

Athletics purchased the contract of OF Matt Watson from Triple-A Sacramento. | ||||||
Here's a real blast from the past. Watson hasn't appeared in the major leagues since he batted .188 (9-for-48) with the A's in 2005. Since then, he has been sold to the Chiba Lotte Marines and played minor league ball with the Blue Jays and Mets. The 31-year-old outfielder was batting .313/.358/.600 with eight homers and 23 RBI over his first 115 at-bats with Triple-A Sacramento this season. | ||||||
