Baseball Betting Lines

08/20/2007 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Oakland Athletics place outfielder Travis Buck on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring. The move is retroactive to August 18.

Buck left the team's game against Kansas City last Friday in the sixth inning, when he tweaked the hamstring running the bases. Buck doubled to lead off the sixth but felt pain in his leg. Manager Bob Geren and a trainer escorted him off the field as pinch-runner Jeff DaVanon took over on the basepaths.

Buck finished the game 1-for-3 and is batting .288 with seven home runs, 34 runs batted in and a team-leading 22 doubles this season.

To replace Buck on the roster, the A's recalled infielder J.J. Furmaniak from Triple-A Sacramento.
