-- -- -- -- Down on the field in Detroit where the -- are set to take on the Tigers -- -- some big news out of the a's clubhouse Brett Anderson is on the active roster. For the Oakland ace. That's big news because he actually got injured here in Detroit twenty days ago when he strained his right -- bleak now for a left handed pitcher. And oblique strain on the right side is actually a bigger issue. Then having it on the left side the one thing Anderson did say is that the oblique strain has forced him to rest his left arm. That he Jets recovered from Tommy John surgery -- he said his arm has never felt better now before the series Billy Beane told us that. The possibilities of Anderson's starting are likely. And he would not use unlikely as the word to describe it so at this point Anderson being on the roster means he's expected to start in game three or game four. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's game three against the Detroit Tigers that is Tuesday. At the Oakland coliseum that's their most likely scenario with Anderson that would allow them to use AJ -- in game four if there is a game for itself. That's the scoop right now and as a result Jim Miller doesn't make the roster he is here with the teams that's gotta be tough news for him. I that's it for CF.
