06/04/2010 - Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Oakland Athletics placed left-hander Brett Anderson on the 15-day disabled list for the second time this season Friday.
Anderson was previously on the DL from April 25 to May 28 with left elbow inflammation. He threw 5 2/3 shutout innings against the Tigers when he was activated, but left Thursday's start against Boston when he aggravated the injury in the second inning.
The 22-year-old is 2-1 this season with a 2.35 earned run average through six starts.
A rookie in 2009, Anderson posted an 11-11 record with a 4.06 earned run average in 30 starts with the A's. He struck out a team-high 150 batters against just 45 walks in 175 1/3 innings.
In other moves, the A's optioned catcher Landon Powell to Sacramento and recalled relievers Cedrick Bowers and Henry Rodriguez from their Triple-A affiliate.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
