I soppose if I read this first I would have had my answer. Athletics June 22: Designated outfielder Milton Bradley for assignment; purchased the contract of infielder Kevin Melillo from Sacramento of the Pacific Coast League (AAA); activated pitcher Rich Harden from the 15-day disabled list; optioned pitcher Shane Komine to Sacramento. Harden (shoudler), who felt "achy" after pitching one inning on Monday, long tossed with manager Bob Geren on Tuesday for about five to 10 minutes, reports the San Francisco Chronicle. Geren said the session went well, and he expects Harden to throw two innings on Friday or Saturday against the Yankees.
