A's lineup: Donaldson up and in

Brandon Inge was placed on the disabled list with a sprained right shoulder on Tuesday. As a result the A's have re-called Josh Donaldson to take his place. Donaldson will be joining the A's for his third time. He only hit .153 with Oakland, but is hitting .335 in 51 games with the River Cats this year. Oakland Athletics (61-53) lineupCoco Crisp, CF
