| April 27, 2007 Bobby Crosby was given a routine day off Thursday, the Athletics official site reports. Crosby's average is down to .161, though Bob Geren feels the shortstop has been taking better swings of late. "Through all the injuries we've had that's the real bright story," Geren said. "He looks good and feels good." |
| April 9, 2007 Bobby Crosby made his second straight start Monday, the AP reports. He left Friday's game against the Angels with back spasms and then was scratched Saturday. "I'm feeling great," Crosby said. "That's the main thing. Everything is coming along slowly with the bat and defense, but the more reps I get, it will get better and better." |
| April 8, 2007 Bobby Crosby hopes to be back in the lineup today, but in the worst-case scenario he should be back on Monday, according to the Mercury News. Crosby had to leave Friday's game after five innings because of back spasms. |
| April 7, 2007 Bobby Crosby, who left Friday night's game after five innings because of back spasms, said he felt much better and hopes to be in the lineup Sunday, the AP reports. "It's not related to my other back injury," he said. "I've had this before. I'm not overly concerned about it." |

It's unclear if Crosby will be in the lineup on Saturday. |

| April 4, 2007 Bobby Crosby will probably get a day or two off each week during the first month of the season, the Athletics official site reports. Crosby is returning from a back injury and the team doesn't want to ask him to do too much too soon. "It could be after a long travel day, a day game after a night game, or [it might be determined by] just how he feels," manager Bob Geren said. "I speak to him every day about how he's doing." |
| March 24, 2007 Bobby Crosby played exhibition games on Wednesday and Friday this week, as he tests his back out to see if he'll be ready for opening day, according to the Contra Costa Times. "The best thing is trusting my back," said Crosby. "Knowing I can turn on a ball like that and not have it in the back of my mind." Crosby should play again today before resting on Sunday. |

| March 13, 2007 Bobby Crosby hit about 15 balls Monday in his first action against a pitcher this spring, according to the Contra Costa Times.

Barring a setback to his troublesome back, Crosby appears on target for opening day. |

| March 4, 2007 Bobby Crosby faced live pitching on Sunday for the first time this spring and showed no lingering effects from his back injury that sidelined him last year, according to the AP. "It's been a long time to wait but it was good," said Crosby. "I was antsy coming into spring but I didn't want to rush it. When you rush it, you hurt it." There's no timetable as to when Crosby will start playing in spring training games, but he has stated that he expects to be ready by opening day. |
| March 4, 2007 Bobby Crosby fielded grounders and took about 30 swings yesterday and said his lower back felt fine, according to the Contra Costa Times.

"We just have to be cautious if we want to keep it stable." |
| March 3, 2007 Bobby Crosby was held out of yesterday's workouts and had his troublesome back wrapped in ice, according to the Contra Costa Times.

| February 21, 2007 Bobby Crosby, who dealt with a troublesome back most of last year, took about 30 pain-free swings off a tee at the A's Papago Park complex on Tuesday, according to the Contra Costa Times. It was the first time he swung a bat since going on the disabled list Aug. 25. "I didn't feel it at all," Crosby said. "I haven't felt it fielding, I haven't felt it throwing. That was kind of in the back of my mind swinging, would I feel OK? So I'm very optimistic." |
| January 31, 2007 Bobby Crosby said Tuesday that he was without pain in his troublesome back for the first time in three weeks, according to the San Jose Mercury News.

Crosby won't swing a bat until spring training begins, but he's confident that he will be healthy this season. |
| January 26, 2007 The Athletics expect Bobby Crosby to be ready by Opening Day, even if that means bringing him along slowly in spring training, the Contra Costa Times reports. A lower back strain ended Crosby's 2006 season in August. "Obviously we need him in April, so if he has to be limited early, we'll go that route," manager Bob Geren said. |
