Alberto Callaspo will miss the A's weekend series with the Yankees because he is having his third child. Callaspo is going to be placed on the paternity leave list Friday so the Athletics won't have to play a man short against the Yanks. He currently holds a .219/.313/.301 batting line with three home runs and 20 RBI.

Alberto Callaspo will miss this weekend's series against the Yankees in order to be with wife as she gives birth. He'll be placed on the paternity leave list, but there's been no decision yet on who will take his spot on the roster. Callaspo entered play Monday batting just .225/.320/.309 this season.

Alberto Callaspo went 1-for-3 with two walks and three runs scored in a win over the Orioles on Sunday. Callaspo doubled off reliever Brad Brach, his seventh double of the year. He's been a Swiss army knife for the A's this year, seeing time at first, second and third base while seeing time at designated hitter as well. The utility player is batting .225/.320/.309 on the season.

Athletics manager Bob Melvin said Friday that Alberto Callaspo will see a drop in playing time following the acquisition of Kyle Blanks. Callaspo has received most of his starts in the DH spot and at first base, but that's where Blanks is going to play. Callaspo has been a borderline middle infield option in mixed leagues so far this year, but he's probably only an AL-only guy at this point.

Alberto Callaspo is starting at first base for the Athletics on Saturday. Brandon Moss and Daric Barton are each getting the day off against opposing southpaw Jon Lester, with Yoenis Cespedes serving as the designated hitter.

Alberto Callaspo went 1-for-3 with an RBI in the Athletics' loss to the Astros on Sunday. Callaspo had one of the team's two hits on the day as Collin McHugh stymied the A's offense all afternoon. The RBI was his 13th of the year.

Alberto Callaspo went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run as the Athletics defeated the Astros on Thursday. Callaspo took Brett Oberholtzer deep in the third inning for his third homer of the season. Callaspo has finished with 10 home runs exactly in each of the last three seasons, so his three in the early going is a nice surprise for the A's.

Alberto Callaspo went 2-for-4 with his first home run of the year in the A's win over the Indians in game one of Wednesday's doubleheader. Callaspo took Corey Kluber deep in the third inning, a two-run shot that gave the A's a 5-0 advantage. The third baseman also scored twice in the game, his first start of the season. He'll likely play all over the diamond this season in his role as a utility infielder.

Alberto Callaspo will start for the Athletics at first base against left-handed pitchers. Callaspo had never played first base before this spring, but he's taken to the position quickly. "He's done some hard work and drills out there," said manager Bob Melvin. Callaspo will also serve as a backup at both second and third base. Daric Barton will see the lion's share of time at first base against righties, with Brandon Moss also starting there on occasion when he's not in the DH spot.

Alberto Callaspo went 2-for-3 and scored a pair of runs in Saturday's Cactus League loss to the Rockies. Callaspo got the start at second base in this one, but is expected to see time all over the field for the A's this season. Unless he finds his way into a full-time role however, his value is limited to AL-only formats.
