| Player Notes |
| August 15, 2007 Nick Swisher tested his sore hamstring Tuesday and came out okay, so he started at first base against the White Sox. Swisher went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run scored. |
| August 13, 2007 Nick Swisher was not in the lineup after leaving Sunday's game with a hamstring injury. However, he was available to play in an emergency. |
| August 12, 2007 Manager Bob Geren doesn't think the hamstring injury that Nick Swisher aggravated Sunday is a big deal. He classified it as a "day-to-day problem," according to the AP. |
| August 12, 2007 Nick Swisher left Sunday's game against Detroit with a sore hamstring. Swisher singled in the top of the third inning, but was replaced by Mark Kotsay for the bottom of the inning. His status for Monday's series finale isn't known at this time, according to the AP. |
| July 22, 2007 Nick Swisher was out of the starting lineup Saturday, one night after bruising his right shoulder in the field, the AP reports. Swisher was able to play in the game as a defensive replacement, however, and there's a shot he could play Sunday. |
| July 21, 2007 Nick Swisher left Friday's game against the Orioles in the seventh inning with a sprained right shoulder, according to the AP. He suffered the injury while trying to make a diving catch at the warning track in center field. It's unclear if this malady will cause him to miss any time. |
| May 11, 2007 Nick Swisher agreed to a five-year contract extension with the A's on Friday, according to the AP. The deal runs through the 2011 season and contains a club option for 2012. Terms of the deal were not announced. Swisher is hitting .286 with six homers and 17 RBI this season. |
| May 4, 2007 Nick Swisher, who's been sidelined with a strained left hamstring, returned to the lineup against Tampa Bay on Friday. He started at DH and went 2-for-4 at the plate with a game-winning three-run homer in the ninth inning. He's expected to return to the outfield on Saturday. |
| May 2, 2007 Nick Swisher is expected to be back in the lineup for the A's on Friday against the Devil Rays, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. He ran at about 75 percent effort Tuesday and manager Bo Geren said, "he looked real good." Swisher hasn't played since April 24 due to a strained left hamstring, and owners in daily transaction leagues should be ready to activate him this weekend. |
| April 30, 2007 Nick Swisher hit off a tee and did some jogging Sunday, the Contra Costa Times reports. He said the jogging went OK, but Bob Geren said after Sunday's game that Swisher would probably not return until next weekend. |
| April 28, 2007 Nick Swisher still hasnt taken live batting practice, reports the teams official website. Swishers original timetable for a return from his strained left hamstring was next Tuesday, a prognosis that has not been officially changed since the original diagnosis. |
| April 26, 2007 Manager Bob Geren is hoping that Nick Swisher will return to the lineup next Tuesday, according to the AP. Swisher is nursing an injured hamstring and ankle. "That would be a nice target date," Geren said. "Anytime with a hamstring the first few days you never know. Sometimes they heal quick and sometimes you don't know. He feels like it'll be four or five days." |
| April 25, 2007 The Athletics are now expecting Nick Swisher to miss the rest of the five-game homestand with his sore left hamstring, according to the team's official site. Bob Geren said Swisher was sent for an MRI Wednesday but was vague about what it revealed. "I don't want to get it wrong, as far as whether they found out it was a Grade 1 [strain] or Grade 2 or whatever, but it's relatively minor," said Geren, albeit he hasn't ruled out a DL trip. Swisher said he felt better Wednesday, adding that he hoped to be ready to play by the time the A's open a two-game series in Boston on May 1. |
| April 25, 2007 Although Nick Swisher is unlikely to play Wednesday, he doesn't expect to miss much time with his strained left hamstring, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. "I've got to get back out there, I feel too good (at the plate) not to," Swisher said after Tuesday's game. "I'm fine, I'm walking around." |
| April 24, 2007 Nick Swisher left Tuesday's game against the Orioles in the first inning with a strained left hamstring, according to the AP. He suffered the injury while rounding third base. It's unclear if he'll be forced to miss any time with the injury. |
