| September 18, 2006 Bobby Crosby had a setback while working out Friday and has been shut down again, according to the Contra Costa Times. At this point, it appears quite unlikely that he'll return from his back injury during the regular season. "Bobby is trying the best he can," trainer Larry Davis said. "He's more frustrated than anybody. He's a high-level athlete." |
| September 16, 2006 Although A's manager Ken Macha said earlier this week that he was pessimistic about Bobby Crosby returning to action this season, Crosby said yesterday he still hopes to return from his back injury by the final week, according to the Contra Costa Times. "I don't want to rush it," Crosby said. "If I get hurt again, that's it, I'm done. But we can't take our sweet time either. If we do that, the season is going to end. It's a tough deal we're in. We want to push it a little but not push it too hard." |
| September 13, 2006 A's manager Ken Macha stated on Tuesday that he is not counting on Bobby Crosby returning to action this season, according to ESPN.com. "I have a lot of things to worry about right now and it doesn't look like he's coming back, so that's not on my list," manager Ken Macha told reporters before Tuesday's game. Crosby has missed a total of six weeks this year due to back trouble. |
| September 7, 2006 Bobby Crosby, on the DL with a lower back strain, is expected to start doing baseball activities once the A's return home on September 15, according to the Contra Costa Times. Trainer Larry Davis is hopeful that Crosby will be able to return to action this season, but manager Ken Macha is less optimistic. |
| August 25, 2006 The A's placed Bobby Crosby on the DL Friday with a lower back strain, according to the AP. This is Crosby's second stint on the DL this season because of the back injury. Crosby will undergo further tests when the A's return home Monday. "They're going to do a different kind of test," manager Ken Macha said. "Right now it's a two-week period and after that it's up in the air. We'll know more after the test. We went from getting him two days off to giving him a shot to giving him 15 days off. Now we're back to square one. But we're going to figure it out." The team recalled D'Angelo Jimenez from Triple-A Sacramento to take Crosby's place on the roster. |
| August 23, 2006 Bobby Crosby missed his second straight game on Wednesday with a lower back strain and could be headed back to the DL for the second time this month, according to the AP. Manager Ken Macha didn't know if Crosby will miss five days or two weeks because they haven't been able to figure out how to make it better. |
| August 23, 2006 Because the rosters expand on September 1, the Athletics might not place Bobby Crosby on the disabled list, according to the San Jose Mercury News. However, that doesn't mean that Crosby's sore back won't shelf him for two weeks. Trainer Larry Davis said that Crosby was "back to square one." |
| August 22, 2006 Bobby Crosby missed Tuesday's game with a back strain, according to the AP. Trainer Larry Davis said that the Athletics were back to square one with Crosby, which could mean another trip to the DL. |
| August 22, 2006 Bobby Crosby left Monday's game in the eighth inning when he aggravated his back injury, according to the Contra Costa Times. This is the same injury that landed him on the DL earlier this month. It's uncertain if he'll be forced to miss any action this time around. |
| August 18, 2006 The A's activated Bobby Crosby from the DL, according to the AP. He had been out with a strained lower back. Crosby was starting at shortstop and batting seventh in the first game of Oakland's doubleheader against Kansas City on Friday. He isn't expected to play in the second game. |
| August 17, 2006 Bobby Crosby, who is on the disabled list with a strained lower back, is expected to be activated on Friday, according to the Contra Costa Times. "Hopefully, I'll come off hot," Crosby said. "I see my average (.229) and power numbers (nine homers, 38 RBI), but at this point, who cares? I'm not going to hit .800 over the last six weeks and get my average to .280. My main goal now is to play good defense and help us win the division." |
| August 15, 2006 Bobby Crosby, who is on the DL because of a strained lower back, went through another strenuous workout on Tuesday and could come off the disabled list as soon as Wednesday, according to the AP. He will need medical clearance from A's trainer Larry Davis first. |
| August 15, 2006 Bobby Crosby, on the DL since July 31 because of a strained lower back, intensified his swinging during batting practice and took grounders before Monday's game, according to the Contra Costa Times. He's eligible to return today, but it's unclear if he'll be activated. |

| August 12, 2006 When the A's placed Bobby Crosby on the DL last week, they expected he would be ready to return from his strained lower back injury when eligible on Tuesday, however, that may now not be the case, according to the Mercury News. Crosby took about 20 swings off a tee and 20 during soft-toss Friday and experienced no pain, but he probably will need a few more days like Friday, followed by a few days of batting practice before he returns. "Hopefully I'll be ready to go when I'm supposed to come off," Crosby said. "We'll see how it reacts." |
| August 4, 2006 The A's placed Bobby Crosby on the 15-day disabled list with a strained lower back. The move was retroactive to Monday. Crosby has played in just 92 games this year after playing only 84 last season. Marco Scutaro should get most of the starts at shortstop while Crosby is out. |
| August 3, 2006 A sore back could land Bobby Crosby on the DL, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Crosby went an MRI on Wednesday and it is possible that he has some sort of stress reaction. However, the exact injury is not known at this time. |

| July 30, 2006 Bobby Crosby was out of the starting lineup Saturday more so because of his recent struggles than because of a lower-back problem that flared up recently, according to the Mercury News. "He needs a mental day off more than anything," Macha said. "With (Roy) Halladay pitching (today) maybe he'll get two days off. It doesn't get any easier." Crosby is mired in a 7-for-58 slump. Marco Scutaro got the start at shortstop filling in for Crosby. |
| July 29, 2006 Bobby Crosby, who is mired in a 7-for-58 slump, got the day off Saturday, according to the AP. However, manager Ken Macha said it was more for his mental state than his sore back. "He feels like he's not doing as well as he should. He was rather grumpy in the clubhouse today," Macha said. |
| July 27, 2006 Bobby Crosby was back in the starting lineup Thursday after leaving Wednesday's game with a mild back strain, according to the AP. He had a shot in his back to relieve the pressure in the area. He went 1-for-4 in the game. |

| June 11, 2006 Bobby Crosby took swings in a cage before yesterday's game but still felt pain in his bruised right finger when he made contact, according to the Contra Costa Times.

| June 9, 2006 The bruised hand that forced Bobby Crosby to exit Thursday's game kept Crosby out of the starting lineup in Friday's contest against the Yankees, according to the AP. Crosby, who suffered the injury fouling a ball off his hand, is day-to-day. |

| June 8, 2006 Bobby Crosby injured a knuckle on his right hand when he fouled a ball off on Thursday. He tried to stay in the game but had to come out because he couldn't grip the ball.

| April 25, 2006 Bobby Crosby was back in the lineup Tuesday after missing three games with a strained right triceps muscle, according to the AP. Crosby was 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in the game. |
| April 25, 2006 Bobby Crosby tested his strained right triceps muscle by hitting in the indoor cage before Monday's game against the Rangers, according to the Contra Costa Times. If he has no pain after fielding grounders before tonight's game, he could be cleared to play tonight. |
| April 24, 2006 Bobby Crosby, who is out with a strained right triceps, was out of the starting lineup for the third straight game on Monday, according to the AP.

| April 23, 2006 Although Bobby Crosby didn't start Saturday's game, he was able to enter the contest in the ninth inning as a pinch-runner. He had left Friday's game early due to a strained right triceps, which he had sustained during batting practice. |
| April 22, 2006 Bobby Crosby was examined Saturday by team orthopedist Jerrald Goldman who said Crosby probably would not need to spend time on the disabled list with a strained right triceps muscle, according to the AP. The injury, sustained in batting practice on Friday, forced Crosby out of Friday's game after the fourth inning. "It's certainly not a DL type of thing," Goldman said. "It's days rather than weeks." Marco Scutaro started in his place on Saturday and went 0-for-4. |

"It's looking good," Crosby said. "I took some ground balls. It was painful for a while. I've dealt with it before. It won't be a problem." Crosby will have to keep his finger off the bat when he hits, which he did in batting practice. |
| April 7, 2006 Bobby Crosby, who is dealing with a left finger injury, is set to return to action Saturday, according to the AP. "It's bearable. It hurts, but it's something I can play through," Crosby said. He took part in early batting practice on Friday and took grounders. |

| April 4, 2006 Bobby Crosby will likely be sidelined for a week with a cut on his index finger, according to the AP. "Everything is intact," trainer Larry Davis said.

Crosby suffered the injury on Monday when Robinson Cano slid into him at second base. |

| March 13, 2006 Bobby Crosby finally was cleared to return to shortstop on Sunday, according to the Contra Costa Times. He's been recovering from shoulder tendinitis, though he didn't have to test it during the game. "I was amped up," he said. "I was excited. I was hoping the first ball would come to me. It's a completely different feeling than being a DH. I felt more into the game, felt more of a purpose." |
| March 10, 2006 Bobby Crosby, who is dealing with shoulder tendinitis, threw across the diamond from the shortstop position for the first time this spring on Thursday, according to the Contra Costa Times. However, he won't be ready to start a game there until sometime next week. |

| March 1, 2006 The Contra Costa Times reports that Bobby Crosby is still doing a long-toss program, but he has yet to test his sore shoulder by throwing balls from shortstop.

"I'm not too concerned," manager Ken Macha said. "There are a whole bunch of games left." |
