| Hiroyuki Nakajima on his way? |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com (6/3/13) Athletics infielder Hiroyuki Nakajima may be close to coming up for Oakland, the San Francisco Chronicle reports Monday.
Manager Bob Melvin said "his results are starting to get pretty impressive."
Nakajima is batting .383 with two homers and five RBI in his last 10 games with Triple-A Sacramento. He was activated off the disabled list in late May and optioned to Sacramento.

| Hiroyuki Nakajima optioned after activation |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (5/23/13) The Athletics activated infielder Hiroyuki Nakajima (hamstring) from the 15-day disabled list Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento, where he was on a rehab assignment. Nakajima is batting .265 (13 for 49) with four doubles and five RBI in 13 games for Sacramento.

| Hiroyuki Nakajima adding to versatility |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com (5/21/13) Athletics infielder Hiroyuki Nakajima played second base Monday with the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats, MLB.com reports. He'll see some time at third base going forward as well and started there Tuesday.
Manager Bob Melvin wants Nakajima to play as many positions as possible in order to make him more versatile at the major-league level in the future. His 20-day rehab assignment is up Wednesday and the A's will make a decision on him at that time. Nakajima is batting .250 at Triple-A with five RBI over 40 at-bats.

| Hiroyuki Nakajima running pain-free |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com (5/19/13) Athletics manager Bob Melvin indicated Saturday that shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima is finally running pain-free, the Oakland Tribune reports.
"He's going down the line 100 percent and moving good on defense," Melvin said. "Next up for him is to get multiple-hit games back-to-back."
Nakajima's rehab assignment can only last until May 23, at which point he'll either have to be placed on the active roster or assigned to the minor leagues. He's recovering from a left hamstring injury.

| Hiroyuki Nakajima getting comfortable in rehab |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com (5/14/13) Athletics infielder Hiroyuki Nakajima (hamstring) went 1 for 5 on Tuesday for Triple-A Sacramento in a rehab assignment game, MLB.com reports. It was his third straight day playing in a game for the River Cats.
Nakajima will take Wednesday off and then play four games in a row. He's gone 7 for 29 (.241) overall with the River Cats.
"From everything that I hear, he's getting more and more comfortable, not only in the field but at the plate," manager Bob Melvin said. "We want to make sure he gets plenty of at-bats and plays plenty of games to where he doesn't have to feel the hamstring."

| With both Cliff Pennington and Stephen Drew -- the two players who spent the most games at shortstop for Oakland in 2012 -- having departed for other teams this offseason, the Athletics turned to Hiroyuki Nakajima to man the position in 2013. Nakajima is a 30-year-old veteran of Japan's Pacific League, and in 2012, he hit .311 with 13 home runs and 74 RBI for the Seibu Lions. Observers are split on how well Nakajima's offense -- and defense -- will translate to the majors, but he has hit for average and moderate power in his time in Japan. The A's inked him to a two-year deal and are committed to using him as their starting shortstop, so at the very least Nakajima will get at-bats. Since it's uncertain what he will do with those at-bats, it's best to save Nakajima for the later rounds of mixed league drafts. (Updated 1/8/13) |
