Mon Aug 26 201902:22Pitcher discovered on social media lands chance with A's
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Nathan Patterson never even made the varsity baseball team as a middle infielder during high school back home in Kansas.In fact, he'd strayed far from the game — running his own landscaping business and working various other jobs that included sales and software — before baseball came back into his life when he least expected it.If that was the whole story, Patterson's journey to the Oakland Athletics' rookie ball team would have been remarkable, yet the way the pitcher got discovered made it even crazier yet: He became an instant social media sensation.In Colorado for a family reunion to celebrate his grandmother's 80th birthday last month, Patterson wound up at a Rockies game with time on his hands because of a rain delay. He and his brother tried out the speed-pitch challenge cage at Coors Field just for fun. His brother, Christian, hit 83 mph and the booth operator congratulated him on the top speed of the day.Then Patterson took his turn, spending about $5 total... [More]

RHP Jarrod Parker experienced another major setback, breaking his pitching elbow again. It could be a career-ending injury.He was placed on the 60-day disabled list Sunday.Parker reinjured the elbow in a Thursday bullpen session and the MRI came back with the awful news Friday. Parker, a 2007 Diamondbacks' first-round pick, has not pitched in the majors since 2013. He underwent two Tommy John surgeries, in 2009 and 2014. He broke his elbow last May 8 while pitching on a rehab assignment for Triple-A Nashville.

RHP Jarrod Parker and the A's avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $850,000 contract, with half of the money guaranteed. Parker, 27, last pitched in the majors in 2013. He underwent Tommy John surgery in March 2014, then missed all of this year after breaking a bone in his right elbow during his rehab in May 2015, leading to another elbow operation.
Tue Sep 22 201519:34Parker (elbow) making sock throws before Tuesday's game
Parker (elbow) was making sock throws before Tuesday's game, MLB.com's Jane Lee reports.
He is obviously being brought along slowly from a procedure on his elbow earlier this season. If he can continue to rehab without complications he could be in the mix for a spot in the rotation next season, but as a pitcher with two Tommy John surgeries on his resume, expectations should be very low entering 2016.
Fri Jul 3 201514:26Dr
Dr. James Andrews is pleased with Parker's progress in his recovery from elbow surgery, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Parker had surgery in May to clean up and repair a fracture in the same right elbow that previously required a pair of Tommy John surgeries. He figures to miss the rest of this season, and while he could be healthy for spring training next year, expectations will be modest.
Fri Jul 3 201512:26 Jarrod Parker: (Elbow) Progressing in Recovery From Surgery
Dr. James Andrews confirmed Friday that Oakland A's pitcher Jarrod Parker is progressing in his recovery from May elbow surgery, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Dr. James Andrews confirmed Friday that Oakland A's pitcher Jarrod Parker is progressing in his recovery from May elbow surgery, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Parker seemed to be on track to return from the second Tommy John surgery of his career before suffering a fracture in his elbow during a rehab start with Triple-A Nashville. There is no word on when Parker will begin throwing, as he is set to begin strengthening exercises next week, but he said in June that he intends to put the incident behind him and focus on getting back to the big club. "That was the best of the worst, I guess," Parker told the Sacramento Bee after the surgery. "It wasn’t anything I would wish upon anyone, because it was probably one of the most painful things -- but, forget about it and move on."

Parker (elbow) had successful surgery to clean up and repair the medial epicondyle fracture in his right elbow Tuesday, the Houston Chronicle's Susan Slusser reports.
His replacement UCL from his second Tommy John surgery did not need to be replaced, so the procedure was not as significant as it would have been if he needed a third Tommy John surgery. Still, he will likely miss the rest of the 2015 season.
Mon May 18 201518:42Parker (elbow) will avoid having third Tommy John surgery
Parker (elbow) will avoid having a third Tommy John surgery, but is schedule to have a procedure that will stabilize the medial epicondyle fracture in his arm Tuesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
A timetable for his return will be clearer after the procedure takes place Tuesday. It's highly unlikely that he'll be back on a big league mound before the end of the 2015 campaign regardless of what is found during the surgery.

Parker will require surgery to repair a fractured bone in his right elbow, MLB.com's Jane Lee reports.
It's a devastating setback for Parker, who was starting to close in on a return from his second Tommy John surgery. While it's not known yet if Parker will require the procedure for a third time, doctors will first have to repair the medial epicondyle bone before any further determination is made on the next course of action. The 26-year-old's career remains in serious jeopardy.
Sat May 9 201523:12Parker (elbow) moved to 60-day DL on Saturday
Parker (elbow) was moved to the 60-day DL on Saturday, MLB.com's Jane Lee reports.
Parker had some tests done on his re-injured elbow Saturday, and it's generally believed that he tore his UCL for the third time. It appears to be a pretty tragic situation for Parker, and from a fantasy perspective it is probably time to cut bait. The transfer to the 60-day DL allows the A's to add newly acquired Edward Mujica to the 40-man roster.

Parker (elbow) is seeing a doctor and undergoing tests Saturday in Nashville, MLB.com's Jane Lee reports.
We won't be able to draw any conclusions until the tests are revealed, which likely won't be until Sunday. He left Friday's rehab start with an elbow injury, and considering he was attempting to work his way back from a second Tommy John surgery, optimism should be quite low.
Fri May 8 201523:16Jarrod Parker: Leaves Rehab Start With Elbow Injury
The A's confirmed that Parker exited his rehab start Friday with an elbow injury, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The club added that Parker will be looked at by team doctors. While details regarding Parker's setback remain vague, this clearly is not promising for a pitcher trying to work his way back from Tommy John surgery for a second time.

Parker went down in pain after a pitch and left his rehab start on Friday night, reports Jeff Hem, Nashville Sounds play-by-play reporter.
There are no further detail at this point, but this is quite likely horrible news for Parker and the A's. Parker was working his way back from his second Tommy John surgery. There were reports from people at the game that Parker collapsed after the pitch holding his right arm.

Parker (elbow) will throw around 90 pitches in his start with Triple-A Nashville on Friday, MLB.com's Jane Lee reports.
This is good news as the A's recently said Parker would need to throw 85-100 pitches in a rehab outing before rejoining the A's rotation. If everything goes well in Friday's outing Parker could be summoned to join the A's in short order. One thing that could prolong this process is the fact that the A's don't really have a pitcher who is struggling in the rotation at the moment, but they will still likely phase Jesse Chavez out when Parker's time comes.

Parker (elbow) will need multiple outings with 85-100 pitches at Triple-A before returning to Oakland, Joe Stiglich of CSN California reports.
Parker is slated to throw 75 pitches in his next outing. The Athletics' plan with Parker is to stretch him out to upwards of 100 pitches at Triple-A at least twice before returning to the Oakland.

Parker (elbow) is expected to throw about 75 pitches and cover five innings in his second rehab outing at High-A Stockton on Tuesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Parker lasted 3.2 innings in his first turn with Stockton last Thursday, giving up three runs on four hits and no walks. The reports on Parker's velocity were encouraging despite the rather unimpressive pitching line, which could have him on course to join the Athletics within a month.

Parker allowed four hits and three runs over 3.2 innings for Single-A Stockton in his first rehab start coming off his second Tommy John surgery.
Parker only struck out one, but it was a good sign that there were reports that he hit 93 miles per hour on his fastball during the start. Assuming no setbacks, Parker is scheduled to return to the A's in late May.
Mon Apr 20 201520:26Parker (elbow) will start for Single-A Stockton
Parker (elbow) will start for Single-A Stockton, reports Jane Lee of MLB.com.
Parker is scheduled to throw four innings or 60 pitches in his first minor league start since his Tommy John surgery March 2014. He is scheduled to rejoin the A's in late May or early June, presumably in the rotation based on the way they are using him, if there is a spot available at the time.
