The Oakland Athletics have placed starting pitcher Felix Doubront on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained left elbow, the club has announced. Doubront was slated to be the fifth starter in Oakland's first road game on Friday against the Angels, but Jesse Hahn or Eric Surkamp will probably take his place. As the A's don't need to roster a fifth starter until Friday, Oakland recalled outfielder Andrew Lambo.
