Scott Sizemore homered and doubled to knock in three Oakland runs in Tuesday's 7-0 win against the Mariners.
He also walked. Sizemore has been a butcher at third base for Oakland after spending most of his career at second, but he's been decent offensively. He's batting .244/.340/.397 with 11 homers and 56 RBI in just 365 at-bats. Since he's making the minimum, the A's certainly have to be considering going forward with Sizemore as a 2012 regular. Still, upgrading at third base this winter can't be ruled out.

Scott Sizemore was held out of Thursday's lineup against the Rangers due to shoulder tendinitis.
It doesn't sound like a major concern and he should be back in there Friday against the Angels. Eric Sogard made the start at third base on Thursday.

Scott Sizemore went 0-for-4 and committed his 16th error in Wednesday's loss to the Angels.
He has 13 errors in 80 games at third base for the A's. Now, he's still learning the position after spending most of his career at second, but that's still too many. He's been a solid hitter, and since he's making the minimum, the A's certainly have to be considering going forward with him as a 2012 regular. Still, upgrading at third base this winter can't be ruled out.

Athletics manager Bob Melvin said that Sizemore (jaw, neck) is unlikely to play Wednesday.
Not a surprise. Sizemore left Tuesday's game against the Tigers in the fourth inning after taking a fastball to his jaw/neck area. X-rays came back negative, but it's unlikely we'll see him until this weekend against the Yankees.

Scott Sizemore is listed as day-to-day after leaving Tuesday's game following a hit by pitch in the jaw/neck area.
X-rays were negative. You've got to think he'll probably be unavailable for a day or two, but it appears Sizemore won't need a trip to the disabled list. He entered Tuesday's game batting .264/.325/.418 in 32 games since joining the A's.

Scott Sizemore was removed from Tuesday's game after being hit by a pitch below the neck.
Sizemore was squared around to bunt and couldn't get away from one high and tight. He came out of the game right away, but at this point the severity of the ailment isn't known. We'll update his progress once more information is available.

Scott Sizemore belted a solo homer in Friday's loss to the Rangers.
Sizemore has really impressed at the dish since being called up last month, batting .314 with four longballs and 13 RBI over 87 at-bats. Though we don't expect that kind of production to continue over the long haul, he's certainly talented enough to help fantasy teams while he's hot.
