OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Oakland right-hander Rich Harden went on the 15-day disabled list Sunday because of a strained stomach muscle.
The Athletics recalled right-hander Seth Etherton from Triple-A Sacramento, and reliever Keiichi Yabu will take Harden's turn in the rotation Wednesday against Boston. The A's won't need a fifth starter again until May 28.
Harden, the No. 2 starter, is 2-3 with 42 strikeouts and a 2.80 ERA in seven starts this season. He went on the DL for the first time in his major league career with the same injury that has plagued Tim Hudson, the longtime A's starter who was traded to Atlanta in the offseason.
