Crosby, last season's AL Rookie of the Year, played on Opening Day before going on the disabled list April 6 with two broken ribs.

"I think physically I'm definitely ready," Crosby said before the A's played the Tampa Bay Devil Rays to begin a seven-game homestand. "Mentally, I think it will be a little tougher on me.

Dan Johnson was called up from Triple-A Sacramento to take his place. Durazo was batting .237 with four home runs and 16 RBI in 41 games with the A's this year. He was hitting just .200 with two RBI over his last 14 games. This is Durazo's seventh career stint on the disabled list but it is his first since joining the A's in 2003.

A's starter Joe Blanton only recorded one out in the first inning before being replaced by Britt Reames. "That was as fine a first inning as I've ever seen," Piniella said. "Crawford got us started. Everybody was involved. I don't remember seeing an inning like that to start a ballgame."
