Coco Crisp (ear) took batting practice with the team Friday and engaged in full baseball activity. Crisp was eligible to come off the disabled list Friday, and could be activated early next week. The Athletics are expected to update his status on Saturday. The 32-year-old outfielder has been out since May 3 with an inner ear infection.

Coco Crisp (ear) could be activated from the disabled list early next week. Crisp might play in a couple minor league rehab games over the weekend. He was eligible to be activated from the DL Friday but obviously needs a few more days.

Athletics manager Bob Melvin said Coco Crisp (ear) has been progressing daily. Crisp was finally placed on the DL a week ago after dealing with an inner ear infection for a few weeks. He's eligible to return on May 18, and it sounds like he'll have a good shot of being ready at that time.

Athletics placed OF Coco Crisp on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 3, with an inner ear infection. Crisp first started having lingering inner-ear and sinus infections over two weeks ago and has missed quite a few games already. He had to be removed from Wednesday's game after another flare-up, and the A's have decided to no longer treat it as a day-to-day ailment. Michael Taylor will replace him on the roster, but Seth Smith and Jonny Gomes would figure to see most of the starts in left field.

The Athletics are expected to place Coco Crisp (ear) on the disabled list prior to Friday's game. Crisp has been dealing with lingering inner-ear and sinus infections, most recently having to be removed from Wednesday's game after another flare-up. He first started having problems over two weeks ago and has missed quite a few games already. Michael Taylor will replace him on the roster, but Seth Smith and Jonny Gomes would figure to see most of the starts in left field.

Coco Crisp could be headed for the disabled list. Crisp experienced a flare-up with his inner ear issues on Wednesday night. The A's don't play Thursday, so they can hold off on a 25-man roster decision for a little while. "He had to come out of the game, obviously, which we didn't envision at the start of the game," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said Wednesday. "We'll take the off-day and see where we go from here." Michael Taylor would likely be brought up if Crisp is indeed disabled.

Coco Crisp returned to action on Wednesday May 2.

Coco Crisp was removed from Wednesday's game after his inner ear issues flared up again. Crisp has been plagued by ear problems for two weeks now and has been in and out of the lineup. We'll consider him day-to-day, but it's tough to predict when he'll be back in the lineup.

Coco Crisp (sinus infection) is not playing Tuesday. Crisp is pretty much fine, but the A's didn't want to test it in the colder weather at Boston's Fenway Park. The 32-year-old is batting .206/.275/.222 with four steals.

Coco Crisp returned to action on Friday April 27.
