Cue the Verducci Effect proponents.

From Rotowire:

"Anderson (elbow) will undergo more tests on Friday but feels that the injury is similar to his elbow problems that sidelined him a month earlier this season according to the team's web site.

Spin: This doesn't sound very encouraging, and you can be sure that the A's will be even more cautious in bringing Anderson back if the diagnosis is a recurrence of his earlier injury. He could be out until the All-Star break."

If he is back at the All-Star break, I think that's great news. I figured he might be done for the year.

If he needs T.J., it'll be next year's All Star Break.

Sure would be nice to have some reasons why....

The Oakland A's placed left-hander Brett Anderson on the 15-day disabled list Friday with what manager Bob Geren called "tendinitis" of his pitching elbow.

"He got a contrast MRI today and basically that's what it showed. He's going to be shut down from throwing until he's symptom free and then he'll start back up again," Geren said.

"I think the news from the doctors is relatively good news," Geren said. "When you go and you have a problem and you get it checked out and get the news we got, then you've got to say that's positive."

It doesn't sound like that will be necessary. I expect the A's to be overly cautious with him, however...
