| Player Notes |
| October 2, 2004 Scheduled to start the first game of the playoffs if the A's win the division, Rich Harden could be available for a brief relief appearance today or tomorrow, according to the Contra Costa Times. |
| September 19, 2004 The A's have shuffled their rotation for next week, and Rich Harden has been pushed back two days so that he can start against the Angels next Friday. |
| August 14, 2004 After holding the Royals to one run on five hits in six innings Saturday, Rich Harden is now 4-0 with a 2.51 ERA in seven starts since the All-Star break. |
| July 10, 2004 A's manager Ken Macha told the AP on Saturday that Rich Harden will open the second half of the season on Thursday after the All-Star break. He will be followed by lefties Barry Zito, Mark Redman and Mark Mulder. |
| July 3, 2004 Rich Harden looked good Saturday in his first outing since partially dislocating his shoulder last weekend. He allowed two hits and two runs in six innings of work. |
| July 1, 2004 Rich Harden threw off a mound on Thursday and is slated to start Saturday, according to the AP. He partially dislocated his non-throwing shoulder when he fell covering first base last Saturday. |
| July 1, 2004 Rich Harden played catch on Wednesday and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Thursday. If all goes well, he could make his next start on Saturday. |
| June 29, 2004 Rich Harden will miss his Thursday start after partially dislocating his non-throwing shoulder over the weekend when he fell covering first base. He could start Saturday instead. |
| June 28, 2004 The A's won't know for a couple of days whether Rich Harden will make his scheduled start on Thursday, according to the Contra Costa Times. Although X-rays revealed no serious damage to the non-throwing shoulder he partially dislocated Saturday, he has had this problem before and likely will require surgery during the offseason to increase the stability of the joint. |

| June 27, 2004 Rich Harden will have X-rays taken Monday or Tuesday of his non-throwing shoulder, which he partially dislocated Saturday, according to the San Jose Mercury News. |
| June 26, 2004 Rich Harden left his start Saturday in the third inning after partially dislocating his non-throwing shoulder while trying to cover first base, according to the AP. Justin Duchscherer took over for Harden. |
| June 23, 2004 As tempting as it may seem at times, A's GM Billy Beane said the club has no immediate plans to move Rich Harden from the rotation to the closer's role, according to the Contra Costa Times. |
| May 9, 2004 Oakland manager Ken Macha has not committed to Rich Harden starting on Wednesday, because the pitcher tossed 121 pitches in his last outing on Thursday, according to the Contra Costa Times. |
| April 21, 2004 Rich Harden allowed just one run on three hits and four walks, while striking out nine Tuesday night. He struggled all spring and didn't fare much better in his first start of the season, so this has to be an encouraging start. |
| April 15, 2004 In his first start of the season on Thursday, Rich Harden allowed six runs and 11 hits in four innings while striking out six and walking one. |
| April 15, 2004 The A's officially recalled Rich Harden for his first start of the season today. |

| April 4, 2004 Teh A\'s optioned Rich Harden to Triple-A Sacramento. Harden will likely make a couple of appearances there before rejoining the A\'s for his first start on April 15. |
| March 28, 2004 The Contra Costa Times reports that the A\'s now are considering sending a starter to the minors to start the season. While Mark Redman would be a candidate to be sent down, Rich Harden is more likely to go due to his 6.92 ERA this spring. |
| March 21, 2004 Rich Harden has struggled this spring, in part due to a sore non-throwing shoulder, but his spot in the A\'s rotation is safe, according to the Contra Costa Times. |
| March 13, 2004 Rich Harden walked five and allowed two runs on three hits in 2 2/3 innings on Saturday in his second spring start. Harden, who struck out only one, has struggled with his control as he\'s dealt with a tender non-throwing shoulder. |
| March 8, 2004 The A\'s plan to give Rich Harden his first exhibition start today, according to the San Jose Mercury News. He\'s been nursing a sore non-throwing shoulder. |
| March 5, 2004 Rich Harden is slated to make his preseason debut on Tuesday, according to the Contra Costa Times. He\'s been slowed early in camp by a sore non-throwing shoulder. |
| March 2, 2004 Rich Harden threw a side session yesterday for the first time since feeling tenderness in his non-throwing shoulder last week, according to the Contra Costa Times. |
| February 29, 2004 Rich Harden might be ready to throw batting practice tomorrow as he's recovering from a sore left (non-throwing) shoulder, according to the San Jose Mercury News. |
| February 27, 2004 Rich Harden was scheduled to throw batting practice Thursday but was held out because of soreness in his left (non-throwing) shoulder, according to the Contra Costa Times. He felt a twinge when he turned off his alarm clock in the morning, and the soreness remained through the afternoon. A\'s trainer Larry Davis said the A\'s are not concerned about the injury. |
| February 25, 2004 The A\'s are not planning to skip Rich Harden in the rotation early in the season when numerous off days would allow them to do so easily, according to the San Jose Mercury News. GM Billy Beane said "I think to skip him puts him in a little bit of a confused state. Unless something changes, I think that\'s the way we\'re going to go." |
