Kazmir avoids DL after MRI reveals no damage

In the first good news of the year, Kazmir avoids the DL and can possibly return after missing a single start.

The A's dodged a bullet today, as Scott Kazmir will not be placed on the DL (for now) after receiving positive news following his MRI. Per Jane Lee and Susan Slusser, Kazmir may only miss one start after his MRI revealed no damage. Kazmir was pulled after just three innings of his Wednesday start due to shoulder soreness. With a convenient day off on June 6th (Kazmir's next turn in the rotation), the A's can keep Kazmir off the DL by moving up the rotation by a day.
