Mason Miller - Has mild UCL sprainMiller was diagnosed Tuesday with a mild UCL sprain in his right elbow, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

ImpactMiller paid a visit to Dr. Keith Meister after landing on the injured list last week with what was initially labeled as right elbow inflammation. He's going to be shut down from throwing for a while, but the A's believe the talented 24-year-old will manage to return before the end of the season. Miller had worked to a 3.38 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 22:7 K:BB through his first 21.1 major-league innings (four starts) prior to the IL stint.

Paul Blackburn - Next rehab start setBlackburn (finger) is slated to make another rehab start for Triple-A Las Vegas later in the week, the Associated Press reports.

ImpactAfter a blister and a subsequent brief paternity leave put Blackburn's rehab assignment on hold for just under a month, the right-hander returned to action with the Aviators on Sunday and surrendered four earned runs over two innings and 41 pitches. Nevertheless, manager Mark Kotsay noted he'd received positive reports regarding the outing and confirmed Monday that Blackburn will toe the rubber in the minors again later in the week. If there's an appreciable bump in pitch count and improved performance during that outing, Blackburn may be deemed ready for activation soon thereafter.

Adrián Martínez - Effective in IL returnMartinez, activated from the injured list earlier in the day, fired two scoreless innings in which he allowed a hit and recorded two strikeouts.

ImpactThe right-hander needed just 22 pitches to record his six outs, a highly efficient outing that stood in stark contrast to both his prior body of work at the big-league level and during his recent rehab assignment. Martinez had allowed nine earned runs over the last two appearances before going on the injured list, and he'd subsequently given up four runs on seven hits over 2.1 innings in his pair of minor-league turns.

ImpactPeterson's 409-foot shot to right center in the eighth inning accounted for the Athletics' final run of the night. The veteran is still carrying a lackluster .212/.308/.327 slash line across 130 plate appearances for the season, but he's now reached safely in seven of the last eight games, a stretch during which he's hitting .333 with two home runs, four walks, four RBI and three runs over 25 plate appearances.
