| Player Notes |
| September 13, 2007 Travis Buck underwent elbow surgery on Monday, and manager Bob Geren said the procedure turned out as well as it could have, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The best-case-scenario has Buck being fully recovered by October, so there's little doubt that he'll be fine for spring training next year. |
| August 31, 2007 Travis Buck will have an operation on Sept. 10 to tighten a loose ligament in his right elbow, according to the AP. He has been on the disabled list since Aug. 20 with a strained left hamstring. Earlier this year, he was on the DL from June 28 to July 14 with a sprained right thumb. |
| August 29, 2007 Travis Buck, out with a strained hamstring, expects to return from the disabled list on Sunday, the first day he's eligible, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. |
| August 20, 2007 The A's placed Travis Buck on the DL Monday due to a strained left hamstring. Buck left the team's game last Friday in the sixth inning with the injury. J.J. Furmaniak was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to take Buck's spot on the roster. |
| August 20, 2007 Travis Buck remained sidelined on Sunday due to the hamstring strain he suffered during Friday's game. "I feel better," Buck told the Contra Costa Times. "Things are starting to head in the right direction. It's something you can't push, have got to take as much time as you need to have it heal. It's still sore, but strength-wise it's feeling like it's starting to heal." It sounds like Buck probably is several days away from getting back into game action. |
| August 19, 2007 Travis Buck only expects to be out a couple of days with his strained left hamstring, the AP reports. "It wasn't as bad as they initially thought it was," Buck said before Saturday's game. "It's still a little tight. It's a slight strain. I've never done anything to my legs, so I didn't know what to expect. It's a good sign." |
| August 17, 2007 Travis Buck left Friday's game in the sixth inning due to a strained left hamstring. He was able to walk off the field under his own power. |
| August 13, 2007 Travis Buck was scratched from Sunday's game due to a sore right elbow. Buck said he felt there was a strong chance he'd be back in the mix on Monday, according to the Contra Costa Times. It sounds like he just has a minor ailment, but we'll keep an eye on his condition going forward. |
| July 29, 2007 Travis Buck was available but didn't play Sunday. Buck was scratched from Saturday's game with a strained left forearm, according to the AP. |
| July 29, 2007 Travis Buck was a late scratch from Saturday's game with a strained left forearm suffered in batting practice, the AP reports. He's considered day-to-day. |

| July 13, 2007 Travis Buck (sprained thumb) might rejoin the A's Friday or Saturday, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Buck went 1-for-4 with an RBI triple in his minor-league rehab game Thursday. |
| June 29, 2007 The A's placed Travis Buck on the 15-day disabled list on Friday with a sprained right thumb, according to the AP. He originally hurt the thumb making a sliding catch against San Francisco on June 10 and has been in and out of the lineup since. "We're going to just give it a couple of weeks to try to heal it up," manager Bob Geren said. |
| June 28, 2007 Travis Buck started Wednesday after missing three straight games with a sore thumb and elbow. Buck went 2-for-5 at Cleveland with a walk, and he also scored three times. Buck is quietly hitting .333 (39-for-117) since May 1, after getting off to a terrible start in April (.190). |
| June 26, 2007 Travis Buck was out of the lineup Monday for the second day in a row because of soreness in his right thumb and elbow. The injuries will probably cause Buck to miss occasional time throughout the rest of the season, according to the Mercury News. |
| June 10, 2007 Travis Buck left Sunday's game in the fifth inning with a bruised right thumb. Buck was injured while making a diving catch in the fourth. He stayed in the game for the rest of the bottom of the inning but was removed for pinch-hitter Jack Cust when the A's came up to bat, according to the AP. It's unclear how serious the injury is. |
| May 23, 2007 Travis Buck missed his second straight game after he was a late scratch from the lineup Wednesday, according to the AP. He has been dealing with sore right elbow for most of the season. |
| May 18, 2007 Travis Buck was back in the lineup Thursday after having an MRI done on his sore elbow the day before. He was told that there did not appear to be any structural damage to the elbow, and if he felt OK, he could play, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Buck went 1-for-3 with a sacrifice fly in his return. |
| May 13, 2007 Travis Buck returned to the starting lineup Saturday and went 1-for-3. He's been dealing with sore wrists, and it was the first time since May 4 he's seen time in the outfield. |
| May 10, 2007 Travis Buck missed another game with his sore wrist Wednesday, and he's not in the lineup Thursday either. He hasn't played since May 5. |
| May 9, 2007 Travis Buck was held out of the lineup again on Tuesday due to his sore wrist, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Manager Bob Geren was unwilling to say if the outfielder would be back in the lineup tonight. |
| May 6, 2007 Travis Buck was held out of the starting lineup on Sunday against Tampa Bay due to a nagging wrist injury, according to the AP. This wasn't the first game Buck has missed because of his wrist, and you have to wonder if this is going to be an off-and-on issue all season. |
| May 4, 2007 Travis Buck returned to the lineup on Friday after missing Wednesday's contest with a sore wrist. He started in right field and went 0-for-4 with a strikeout. |
| May 3, 2007 Travis Buck, who was a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup due to a sore wrist, is considered day-to-day, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The A's have an off day on Thursday, which will give him some time to rest. |
| May 3, 2007 Travis Buck was a late scratch from the starting lineup Wednesday due to his sore wrist. Oddly, Buck's last at-bat from Tuesday night's game was the game-tying home run off Jonathan Papelbon in the top of the ninth inning. |
| April 25, 2007 Travis Buck felt good enough to play Wednesday after missing two starts with a sore wrist, the Athletics official site reports. Buck went 0-for-2 with a walk. |
| April 25, 2007 Travis Buck didn't start Tuesday due to his sore wrist, though he was able to enter the game as a defensive replacement, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. He's expected to be available Wednesday. |
| April 24, 2007 Travis Buck got the night off on Monday due to a sore right wrist, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. He's also been dealing with a sore left wrist that has bothered him since the beginning of the year. "I've got two of 'em," Buck said. "The right side is a lot worse than the left. ... I definitely felt it the whole game (Sunday)." Buck said he's prepared to play through the injuries if necessary. It's uncertain if he'll be back in the lineup tonight. |
| April 6, 2007 Although Bob Geren said last weekend that Travis Buck would not be a platoon player, Buck sat against a left-handed starter for the second time in a row Thursday, the Athletics official site reports. Given how well Bobby Kielty hits against lefties, it's entirely possible this arrangement will be fairly common. Buck is expected to be back in the lineup Friday. |
| April 4, 2007 Travis Buck will be back in the lineup Wednesday, Bob Geren told the Athletics official site. Buck went 1-for-3 on opening day, then sat in favor of Bobby Kielty when the Mariners started a lefty Tuesday. |
| April 2, 2007 Travis Buck made his big-league debut for the A's on Monday, batting eighth and starting in right field. He went 1-for-3 with a double at the plate. With Dan Johnson injured and Nick Swisher moving to first base, Buck should see the majority of the action in right field this year as long as he produces. |
| April 2, 2007 Travis Buck will open the year as the Athletics starting right fielder, according to the team's website. Buck surprisingly made the club with a .339 average and .417 on-base percentage this spring. Manager Bob Geren made a point of noting that Buck will not be platooned. |
| April 1, 2007 In a surprising move, top prospect Travis Buck has made the team's opening day roster, according to the AP. Buck hit .339 this spring but it was thought that the team would start him at Triple-A to ensure that he would play every day. Buck is expected to get the start in right field Monday for the A's, with Nick Swisher starting at first and Shannon Stewart in left. |
| March 13, 2007 Prospect Travis Buck is hitting .333 this spring, but he's almost certain to begin the regular season in the minors, according to the Contra Costa Times. "He's obviously a highly thought of player, and he's done nothing to hurt that perception this spring," A's general manager Billy Beane said. |
