Athletics placed OF Josh Reddick on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 1, with a right knee injury.
Reddick left Saturday's game with a hyperextended right knee and will now require an extended absence. Craig Gentry figures to see an uptick in playing time during his absence and is worth grabbing in deeper mixed leagues.

Josh Reddick came out of Saturday's game in the eighth because of a hyperextended knee.
It's bad timing with Brandon Moss also down. If Reddick needs Sunday off (which seems likely), then Craig Gentry will likely start in right. Kyle Blanks is also an option.

Josh Reddick went 0-for-3 with a strikeout Saturday against the Blue Jays.
He was replaced by pinch-hitter Jed Lowrie in the top of the ninth inning against left-hander Brett Cecil. This has been an up-and-down year for Reddick, who is currently mired in a 1-for-18 funk. He's batting just .216/.273/.346 on the year.

Josh Reddick went 0-for-4 on Thusday and 0-for-12 in the series against the Rays.
Reddick does have three homers and 12 RBI this month, but it comes with a .188 average and a .224 OBP. He really needs to start riding the pine against left-handers until he starts to turn it around.

Josh Reddick had a monster day at the plate on Friday, blasting a pair of homers and driving home six runs as the A's thrashed the Indians 11-1 in Cleveland.
Reddick launched a towering grand slam to right field off Zach McAllister, highlighting an eight-run uprising in the second inning. He then tagged Carlos Carrasco with a two-run shot in the seventh inning, finishing the night 2-for-4. While he's still hitting just .236 on the season, he has three multi-hit efforts in his last four games and has now plated 18 runs on the season.

Josh Reddick went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer against the White Sox in Tuesday's 11-0 win.
Don't look now, but medics have located a faint pulse in Reddick's bat over the past 48 hours. That's two multi-hit games in a row; Monday's came with a triple. Reddick has justifiably been one of the most dropped players in fantasy this year, slashing .233/.298/.342, but a good week or two will make Reddick a hot waiver wire name.

Josh Reddick is back in the Athletics' lineup Wednesday.
Reddick missed two games with a sprained left ankle, but he's feeling well enough to get back out there. The outfielder had a hot streak in late April but enters play Wednesday hitless in his last 13 at-bats.

Josh Reddick (ankle) is available off the bench Tuesday.
Reddick missed his second straight start, but he's feeling better than expected and it sounds like he should be back in the lineup soon. "He's a lot better today," A's manager Bob Melvin said Tuesday. "Actually I was surprised yesterday and probably got ahead of myself a little bit about how he felt, just from how he came out of the game the other day. Then he gets here yesterday and takes batting practice and felt pretty good."

Josh Reddick has been diagnosed with a sprained left ankle and is considered day-to-day.
Reddick was forced to leave Sunday's game against the Red Sox in the ninth inning after coming up lame while running to first base. He appears to have avoided any significant injury, but will likely be given a day or two off to let the ankle heal.

Josh Reddick left Sunday's game against the Red Sox due to an apparent leg injury.
Reddick grounded into a double play in the ninth inning and was limping badly as he ran to first base, unable to even make it there before being assisted off the field by the A's training staff. The team should have an update on his status shortly.
