CLEVELAND -- The Athletics' injury carousel continues, as left-hander Brett Anderson returned from the 10-day disabled list from a left shoulder strain Sunday only for right-hander Paul Blackburn to take his place.
Blackburn is officially out with right elbow lateral epicondylitis, more colloquially known as tennis elbow.
The Athletics have five starters on the disabled list -- Blackburn joins Trevor Cahill, Daniel Gossett, Daniel Mengden and Andrew Triggs -- although Cahill could rejoin the team as early as Thursday.
