According to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, Ben Sheets has re-injured his elbow and was placed on the 15 day disabled list.

According to Slusser, A’s GM Billy Beane says Sheets has seen team doctors, but will await a second opinion before providing details on the injury.

When Slusser asked Sheets if it was possible he could miss the rest of the season, Sheets said that might be possible, although Beane said Sheets wanted to make his next start tomorrow against the White Sox.

…well, it doesn’t look like Sheets is going anywhere now…i was one of those in favor of the Mets signing him and taking a chance on him, knowing full well his elbow was a tremendous risk…for the dollars he Oakland gave him, i was glad the Mets didn’t make the move, given the injury risk, and of course, it came to fruition…

Sheets signed a one year, $10 million contract with the A’s in January, and he’s 4-9 with a 4.53 ERA in 20 starts this season.
