| April 7, 2008 During the MLB broadcast of the Indians and Oakland game on Sunday night, it was announced that the A's are awaiting results of an MRI exam performed on the pitching arm of Justin Duchscherer before deciding whether he will skip his next scheduled start.

Casilla submitted two perfect innings of work against the Red Sox in Tokyo last week, pitching one scoreless inning. On Wednesday, Casilla got the call with the bases loaded and nobody out in the seventh inning, but he got David Ortiz out on strikes and tempted Manny Ramirez into a rare double play. |
| March 22, 2008 MLB.com reports that right-hander Justin Duchscherer is expected to start for Oakland against Hanshin on Saturday. Hanshin features a familiar face in Lew Ford, who played for the Twins from 2003-07. Ford made a highlight-reel catch in Hanshin's 6-5 loss to the Red Sox in the exhibition opener on Friday. The start for Duchscherer, is either his last before entering the A's rotation stateside. Transitioning from the bullpen to the starting rotation, the report notes that Duchscherer, who was a standout starter in the Minors, allowed five runs on nine hits and four walks over eight innings of Cactus League work this spring, and he'll be limited to fewer than 80 pitches against Hanshin. |
| March 18, 2008 Justin Duchscherer tossed 71 pitches in Tuesday's game and another 10 in a bullpen session afterward, according to MLB.com. "I honestly felt like I consistently hit the spots I wanted to hit," Duchscherer said. "My arm feels good and my hip feels good. I don't like giving up runs like that." The runs he referenced were four earned on six hits and two walks over four innings. Duchscherer missed the end of last season with an arthritic hip ailment, but he's being stretched out as a starter to begin this season. |
| March 4, 2008 Justin Duchscherer's line from his first spring outing wasn't good (one inning, one run, two hits and two walks), but the right-hander is just happy that he's overcoming some of the mental hurdles with his surgically repaired hip, according to the Mercury News. Duchscherer, who is moving from the bullpen to the rotation, was nervous about the hip at first, but said he made a conscious effort to drive hard off the hip when he struck out Gary Matthews to end the fourth inning. "You hear people say that the last thing to come is the mental part of it," he said. "To know that I can pitch pain free is a big deal." Duchscherer has been terrific at times as a setup man, but it will be interesting to see how he fares as a starter. Consider him only as a late-round flyer in AL-only play right now. |
| February 18, 2008 Justin Duchscherer, who is reportedly free of the arthritic right hip condition that ended his 2007 season, will began to make his transition from the bullpen to the starting rotation, according to MLB.com "I can give you a thumb's up," said Kurt Suzuki. "He looks good. What I saw was nothing less than a guy who can hit his spots. He's going to give us quality innings every time he goes out there." Duchscherer is compared to having the control of a Greg Maddux in the report. Oakland traded most of their first line starters this winter and it appears the team is ready to look at Duchscherer for a spot in the rotation. |
| January 9, 2008 Justin Duchscherer re-signed a one-year contract with the A's on Wednesday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Duchscherer posted a 4.96 ERA in 17 relief appearances in 2006, but he's expected to be shifted to the starting rotation this spring. He's recovering from hip surgery. |
