Player Notes
December 20, 2004
The Athletics signed Mark Ellis to a one-year contract on Monday, according to the AP. Ellis missed all of last season with a torn labrum in his right shoulder after a collision in spring training.
December 15, 2004
The A's still aren't sure if Mark Ellis will be fully recovered from the torn labrum that cost him the 2004 season by opening day, so they acquired Keith Ginter from the Brewers for insurance. Even when Ellis is healthy there's no guarantee that he'll be able to beat out Ginter and Marco Scutaro.
August 28, 2004
Mark Ellis reported no problems on Saturday, a day after taking batting practice. Ellis is out for the season with shoulder problems but is making good progress in his recovery.
August 23, 2004
Mark Ellis, out for the season after dislocating his right shoulder in spring training, is back in Oakland this week for rehab work, according to the AP. He took groundballs and then threw to the corners for the first time. Ellis will be in instructional league this fall and hasn't determined whether he will play winter ball.
July 23, 2004
Although Mark Ellis tested his dislocated shoulder by throwing some yesterday, he's still expected to miss the remainder of the season.
July 22, 2004
Mark Ellis will try playing catch today for the first time since dislocating his shoulder, according to the Contra Costa Times. Still, A's trainer Larry Davis said it was still "highly unlikely" that Ellis would be able to play again this season.
July 16, 2004
Mark Ellis will meet the A's during their trip to Seattle beginning next Wednesday and will test his right shoulder by playing catch, according to the Mercury News. Declared out for the season with a dislocated right shoulder, he's recovering much faster than expected. However, trainer Larry Davis cautioned that players tend to slow down their recovery once they start throwing.
June 13, 2004
Although Mark Ellis said he hopes to return from his dislocated shoulder injury late this season, he's still expected to remain sidelined until next year, according to the Contra Costa Times. "I think Mark is a little optimistic," head trainer Larry Davis said. "We haven't considered that. We don't have a schedule for him. We're just letting him heal at his own pace. It's nice that he has those thoughts though."
May 9, 2004
A's trainer Larry Davis indicated that Mark Ellis will probably avoid surgery on his torn labrum, according to the AP. However, this does not change the fact that Ellis is not expected to return in 2004. Ellis was not able to have surgery immediately after dislocating his shoulder because of the swelling.
April 10, 2004
The AP reports that Mark Ellis will miss the entire 2004 season after a second MRI revealed a torn labrum in his right shoulder. He will have surgery on the shoulder in two or three weeks.
April 10, 2004
The San Jose Mercury News reports that the A\'s may announce results of the MRIs on Mark Ellis as soon as today. Ellis will meet with the team\'s orthopedist today to review the results.
April 5, 2004
Mark Ellis is slated to have an MRI taken of his dislocated shoulder Wednesday, according to the Contra Costa Times. The results, which likely won't be known until at least the weekend, should shed light on whether he will be able to return to action this season.
April 4, 2004
The A\'s officially placed Mark Ellis on the 15-day DL yesterday. Ellis is expected to miss at least two months, and possibly the entire season, with a torn labrum.
March 30, 2004
A's GM Billy Beane wouldn't confirm on a report from ESPN's Peter Gammons that Mark Ellis will miss the entire year with a torn labrum, according to the Mercury News. "It will probably be longer than eight weeks, but how much longer is yet to be determined," Beane said. The extent of Ellis' injury will be known after he undergoes a second MRI exam in about a week. Beane admitted that the A's will probably try to trade for another middle infielder.
March 29, 2004
Mark Ellis will not play at all this season after tests determined that he suffered a torn labrum when he dislocated his shoulder last week, according to ESPN.com.
March 29, 2004
Mark Ellis has too much swelling in his dislocated shoulder for doctors to properly read his MRI, according to the Contra Costa Times. He'll have another one in two weeks to determine whether he will need potential season-ending surgery. ESPN's Peter Gammons reported that Ellis would miss the rest of the season due to a torn labrum. "The next step is to get another MRI done," A's GM Billy Beane said. "Until that happens, we're still assuming Mark will be back."
March 26, 2004
The Mercury News reports that Mark Ellis will miss up to eight weeks after dislocating his shoulder on Thursday. He was injured during a seventh-inning collision with Bobby Crosby. He will undergo an MRI today, and if a tear is found he may require surgery that would sideline him even longer.
February 5, 2004
The A\'s plan to use Mark Kotsay in the leadoff spot this season and either Scott Hatteberg or Bobby Kielty second, so Mark Ellis will hit near the bottom of the order.
