Harden on 15 day DL

Yahoo Says:

The Athletics placed right-hander Rich Harden on the 15-day disabled list on Sunday with a strained left oblique. The move is retroactive to May 14—the day after he sustained the injury in a start against the Yankees. For Harden, who ranks fourth in the American League in both ERA (2.80) and strikeouts (42), this is his first trip to the disabled list. He will undergo an MRI on Monday.

I knew it was probably coming. Thats three starting pitchers for me within 6 days

Still no word on the MRI. They say his condition hasn't improved since Saturday; which is a setback after the initial claims of him feeling much better the morning after. Hudson last year felt a lot worse the day after his injury, for what it's worth.
The MRI will be huge... Keep an ear to this one.

Not the best news:

"The A's determined Rich Harden would miss more than the minimum two weeks with his strained oblique after seeing the results of an MRI today.
It appears to be more of a four- to six-week injury. Keiichi Yabu might get a chance to make at least a couple of starts after all."

Looks like the MRI showed more of a tear than they anticipated or hoed for...
