Brandon Inge's rehab from arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder will take 4-5 months. Inge thinks he's a quick healer, as he believes it will only take him two months. It's really a moot point, as he won't return this season but should be 100 percent for spring training next year either way. He'll be a free agent this winter after the A's decline his $6 million option.

Brandon Inge underwent successful arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. While there has been no official timetable set for his return, he will miss the remainder of the season. He did a decent job as a member of the A's this year, slashing .226/.286/.389 with 11 homers and 52 RBI over 283 at-bats.

Athletics placed 3B Brandon Inge on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to September 2, with a strained right shoulder. Inge re-injured the shoulder last Saturday and is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery next week. He expects to be ready for spring training next year. The 35-year-old batted .218/.275/.383 with 12 homers and a .658 OPS in 331 plate appearances between the Tigers and A's this season and will hit free agency this offseason.

Brandon Inge will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder on September 13. Surgery was deemed necessary after he aggravated the shoulder during his first game back from the disabled list on Saturday. The 35-year-old batted .218/.275/.383 with 12 homers and a .658 OPS in 331 plate appearances between the Tigers and A's this season and will be a free agent this winter.

Brandon Inge will be available to pinch-hit until he undergoes shoulder surgery this week. It seems unlikely that he'll be used. Inge aggravated his right shoulder injury Saturday in his first game back from the disabled list.

Brandon Inge will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder this week. Inge on Saturday aggravated the injury that sent him to the DL last month. "My damn shoulder came out again," said Inge. "I gave it my best shot. I knew it was going to be rough coming into it." The recovery period for the surgery is six months. A free agent after the season, Inge is hoping to return to the A's in a utility role. Josh Donaldson will be the team's third baseman down the stretch.

Brandon Inge left Saturday's game against the Red Sox after re-aggravating his right shoulder injury. Inge returned from the disabled list on Saturday afternoon and went 1-for-2 with a two-run double before exiting. There has been no announcement on the severity or extent of the injury, but expect Josh Donaldson to continue manning the hot corner for at least another couple of games.

Athletics activated 3B Brandon Inge from the 15-day disabled list. Inge is starting at third base Saturday and batting sixth. The Athletics also recalled Brandon Hicks and Collin Cowgill in a joint announcement.

Brandon Inge (shoulder) might not be activated from the disabled list until the Athletics return home Friday. Inge is eligible to be activated on Monday, but the A's want him to test his shoulder more before bringing him back. The 25-year-old is 2-for-12 (.167) with two doubles and an RBI over his first four rehab games with Triple-A Sacramento. He's not a lock to get the third base job back when he returns.

The A's aren't sure if Brandon Inge (shoulder) will come off the disabled list when first eligible on Monday. "We are going to wait and make sure he's healthy, and see what our best options are," manager Bob Melvin said. Inge began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento Thursday, going 1-for-3 with a double, walk, run scored and RBI. He may split time with Josh Donaldson when he returns.
