OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Oakland Athletics placed reliever Ryan Cook on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right forearm Friday, sent struggling starter Dan Straily to Triple-A Sacramento and called up relievers Fernando Rodriguez and Joe Savery. The As made the moves before hosting the Washington Nationals on Friday night. Cook was injured during Wednesdays doubleheader against Seattle. Cook and manager Bob Melvin both said they dont believe the injury is serious, that its just a strain in the middle of the forearm and not anything related to the tendon. Straily is 1-2 with a 4.93 ERA in seven starts. Melvin said the team wants Straily to work on his fastball command, which has been inconsistent and led to him falling behind hitters. Strailys demotion should keep Drew Pomeranz in the rotation. Pomeranz pitched five scoreless innings to help the As win the second game of Wednesdays doubleheader. Rodriguez was 1-0 with a 0.73 ERA in 11 appearances with Sacramento this season. He is coming off elbow ligament replacement surgery and last pitched in the majors with Houston on Oct. 3, 2012. Savery was 4-0 with one save and a 3.86 ERA in 10 appearances for Sacramento. Melvin also said centre fielder Coco Crisp was scheduled to have an MRI on his strained neck Friday. Crisp was injured when he crashed into the wall to make a leaping catch in Wednesdays opener. Melvin said Crisp is unlikely to play Saturday.

Adams, the Walter Payton Award runner-up in each of the past two seasons, is on track to graduate at the end of the spring semester. At that point, he could leave EWU, enroll elsewhere, a la the University of Oregon which is in the market for a new starting quarterback, and have immediate eligibility for his senior season. Former Gardner-Webb defensive end Shaquille Riddick, another FCS All-American, followed such a path last year when he graduated in the spring and spent his senior season on the FBS level at West Virginia University. Players in those situations view such a transfer as a way to boost their NFL Draft status by playing against a higher level of competition. Adams, who has accounted for a combined 100 passing and rushing touchdowns in 25 games over Eastern Washingtons last two seasons, did not apply for early entry into this years draft, although he would have been eligible as a fourth- year junior had he sought an NFL career. He has downplayed the talk of a transfer. If he returns to the Eagles lineup, they will be the favorite to win a fourth straight Big Sky Conference title and considered a top contender for the FCS national championship. If Adams were to play his senior season at an FBS school, the FCS would lose its most high-profile player. However, what wont change is the talent level at footballs most-important position, which is incredibly high across the division. Including Adams, this past years all-conference first-team quarterback is scheduled to return in 10 of the 13 FCS conferences. In the case of the Big Sky (Adams), Big South Conference (Coastal Carolinas Alex Ross), CAA Football (Villanovas John Robertson), Southern Conference (Chattanoogas Jacob Huesman) and Southwestern Athletic Conference (Alcorn States John Gibbs Jr.), the first-team selection also is thhe conferences reigning offensive player of the year.dddddddddddd Theres also the first-team QBs from the Ivy League (Dartmouths Dalyn Williams), Missouri Valley Football Conference (Tre Roberson of national runner-up Illinois State), Northeast Conference (Sacred Hearts RJ Noel), Ohio Valley Conference (Jacksonville States Eli Jenkins) and the Pioneer Football League (Jacksonvilles Kade Bell). Robertson not only won the 2014 Walter Payton Award as the outstanding player in the FCS - Adams was considered the front-runner in October until he missed four games with a broken foot - but the Villanova magician was the 2012 Jerry Rice Award recipient as the FCS freshman of the year. So there would be no shortage of star power without Adams. Plus, there are plenty of other elite FCS quarterbacks who will return next season, including North Dakota States Carson Wentz, the most outstanding player of the national championship game when the Bison won for the fourth straight season. In addition, dual-threat signal callers Dakota Prukop of Montana State and Vad Lee of James Madison warrant consideration for the Payton Award even though they are in the same conferences as Adams and Robertson - the Big Sky and CAA, respectively. Other returning standouts include Cal Polys Chris Brown, Murray States KD Humphries, Sam Houston States Jared Johnson, Western Carolinas Troy Mitchell, Yales Morgan Roberts, Eastern Illinois Jalen Whitlow, Grambling States Johnathan Williams and Libertys Josh Woodrum. Johnson, who helped lead Sam Houston to the national semifinals, makes up for QB losses in the Southland Conference, which is the only one in the FCS not to return either its all-conference first- and second-team selections, if not both. The second-team QBs are back in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference with North Carolina Centrals Malcolm Bell and the Patriot League with Holy Cross Peter Pujals. Theres no doubt the FCS quarterback class will run deep next season. ' ' '
