August 16, 2007 Huston Street earned his first save since early May Wednesday night, striking out the side against Chicago. Just as significant for Street owners - Alan Embree worked the eighth in this victory, and also allowed a couple of runs. In short, it looks like the closing baton will likely go back to Street now. |
|
July 28, 2007 Huston Street said yesterday that the soreness he felt earlier this week was just general arm fatigue and not related to the elbow injury from which he just returned, according to the Contra Costa Times. Street will have to make a few more appearances without having any physical problems before he resumes his role as closer. |
|
July 26, 2007 Huston Street has had some soreness in his right elbow since his appearance Monday. Manager Bob Geren downplayed it though, saying Street would have been available in an "emergency only" situation Wednesday, according to the Mercury News. Street missed 63 games because of irritation in his right elbow, so, despite Geren's comments, you have to at least be a little worried about the right-hander. |
|
July 23, 2007 Huston Street was activated Monday by the A's after missing 63 games because of irritation in his right ulnar nerve, according to the AP. Manager Bob Geren said Street would be eased back into the pitching mix, with Alan Embree continuing to close. "I plan to use Huston the first few games in kind of a sixth-, seventh-, eighth-inning type of role until he gets a few innings under his belt," Geren said "Ideally, I'd like to get him back into the closer role, but he's pitched one inning in seven or eight weeks." |
|
July 22, 2007 Huston Street is still expected to be activated from the disabled list on Monday, according to the AP. "We're 95 percent sure," manager Bob Geren said. "I won't use him to close games the first outing or two. I want to make sure he's ready." Street has been out with irritation in his right ulnar nerve. |
|
July 21, 2007 Huston Street is expected to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday. If all goes well, he could be activated from the disabled list on Monday, according to the Contra Costa Times. His recovery from an irritated ulnar nerve has taken a long time, so we'll have to wait and see how he responds to Saturday's action before considering his status for Monday. |
|
July 19, 2007 Huston Street pitched in a simulated game at Single-A Stockton Wednesday and came out of it fine. He will start a rehab assignment at Triple-A Sacramento either Friday or Saturday, according to the Mercury News. Street is coming back from an ulnar nerve problem in his right elbow. |
|
July 18, 2007 Huston Street is slated to throw a simulated game for Single-A Stockton today and follow that with an assignment at Triple-A Sacramento on Friday or Saturday. Street, out since May 15 because of an ulnar nerve problem in his right elbow, said he felt good Monday after throwing 37 pitches in a simulated game, according to the Mercury News. |
|
July 16, 2007 Huston Street pitched in a simulated game Monday and could be activated as soon as next week, according to the AP.

|
July 16, 2007 Huston Street is slated to throw to hitters Monday and Wednesday. If all goes well, he could work a rehab game on Friday and come off the disabled list next Monday, according to the Contra Costa Times. Street is on the disabled list while recovering from an irritated ulnar nerve. It's been a long road back, so we'll have to wait and see how his elbow responds to this week's work. |
|
July 13, 2007 Huston Street will throw 25-30 pitches to hitters in Phoenix Friday, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. It's possible Street (ulnar nerve) could begin a rehab assignment Monday. |
|

|
July 4, 2007 Huston Street (right ulnar nerve irritation) took a day off from his throwing program Tuesday, the AP reports. He might be ready to return to action as soon as July 20, when the A's open a three-game home series against the Orioles. |
|
June 30, 2007 Huston Street spent the past 18 days in Toronto receiving treatment for his ailing right elbow. He rejoined the A's on Friday and said he likely will play long toss four or five more times before throwing off a mound, according to the Contra Costa Times. An irritated ulnar nerve has kept sidelined since the middle of May, and he clearly won't be back until at least the middle of July. |
|
June 28, 2007 Huston Street (irritated nerve in elbow) might throw off the mound over the weekend when the team is in New York, the AP reports. He's been working out with specialists in Toronto for two weeks and has played catch the last several days. Bob Geren hopes to have Justin Duchscherer and Street back soon after the All-Star break. |
|
June 28, 2007 Huston Street (right ulnar nerve) will rejoin the Athletics in New York this weekend, the AP reports. Street has been in Toronto, being examined by a specialist. Street played long toss at 60 feet Monday and 100 feet Tuesday. |
|
June 15, 2007 Toronto doctor Anthony Galea has confirmed the original diagnosis that Huston Street has ulnar neuritis and no ligament damage in his elbow. "Essentially what he needs is more rest," assistant GM David Forst told the Mercury News. "He's going to remain in Toronto a few more days and will continue playing catch when he's pain free." |
|
June 14, 2007 Huston Street was examined in Toronto Wednesday by Dr. Anthony Galea, who has treated tennis players who have issues with the ulnar nerve, the same part of the elbow where Street's injury is. It's unclear what the results of the visit were, but Street could stay in Toronto and undergo physical therapy at Galea's facility for several days to a week, assistant GM David Forst told the Mercury News. |
|
June 13, 2007 The A's have shut down Huston Street after the closer began experiencing pain after throwing Friday. Out with nerve irritation in his pitching elbow, Street plans to visit a doctor to get another opinion, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Even if there is no ligament damage, it's possible Street could still have surgery. "If Huston continues to have pain, other options might have to be considered," assistant general manager David Forst said when asked about the possibility of surgery. "But it's been just over a month (that Street has been out), we can wait awhile. Huston has more than this season to contribute." There had been thoughts that Street could be back by the All-Star break, but that seems unlikely now. |
|
June 9, 2007 Huston Street is making some progress in his recovery from an irritated right ulnar nerve. He's played catch the past two days and experienced no pain, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Street said he could return by the All-Star break next month. Realistically, nothing about him will be certain until, and even long after, he returns to action for the A's. Still, any sign of progress is good news. |
|
June 8, 2007 Huston Street felt fine on Thursday, a day after playing catch for the first time since being shut down with an irritated ulnar nerve, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. There's still no estimated date for his return, however. |
|
June 7, 2007 Huston Street made 30 light throws from 60 feet Wednesday, the AP reports. He's working his way back slowly from an irritated ulnar nerve; there's still no timetable for his return. "I was nervous on every single throw," he said. Street said it will take some time before he can trust that his arm is healthy. |
|
June 2, 2007 Things are continuing to progress slowly for Huston Street, as he rehabs his irritated ulnar nerve. He said yesterday that he will not attempt to play catch until at least Wednesday, according to the Contra Costa Times. "We're just being extra cautious," Street said. "I'm feeling healthy, now it's just a matter of strengthening, strengthening, strengthening it." Wisely, the A's are thinking long-term with their closer. It will be weeks before he's back on the mound for the team. |
|
May 29, 2007 Huston Street was pain-free for the first time Tuesday since going on the DL May 15 with an irritated nerve in his throwing elbow, according to the AP. If everything goes well in the next couple of days, he may begin playing some light catch on Friday. |
|
May 26, 2007 A's manager Bob Geren said he has no idea when Huston Street will be ready to return to action. Street has yet to even begin throwing, according to the Contra Costa Times. Street owners are just going to have to keep holding their collective breath and hope he doesn't end up being sidelined for an extended period or undergo surgery. |
|
May 18, 2007 Huston Street's return date is still up in the air - it ranges from 10 days to indefinite. If rest doesn't solve his irritated ulnar nerve, surgery is a possibility, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. |
|
May 17, 2007 Huston Street was seen by Angels orthopedist Dr. Lewis Yocum on Wednesday, the AP reports. Yocum determined that Street does not have any structural damage in his right elbow. Street went on the DL on Tuesday with an irritated nerve in that area of his throwing arm. |
|
May 15, 2007 The Athletics placed closer Huston Street on the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday due to irritation in his right ulnar nerve, MLB.com reports. The move is retroactive to May 13. |
|
February 17, 2007 New A's manager Bob Geren said he'd like to limit Huston Street to working only the ninth inning whenever possible, according to the Contra Costa Times. "I think if you're going to win a lot of games, you try to keep him (limited) to one inning," Geren said. "And if you have a real good setup or combination of setup guys, it's probably best for the overall health of the closer and performance of the whole bullpen if you get those guys in late in tight situations." |
