Athletics signed LHP Lenny DiNardo to a minor league contract. |
DiNardo had recently signed with the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League after being released by the Red Sox after spring training. The 31-year-old left-hander previously pitched with Oakland from 2007-08, but hasn't appeared in the major leagues since 2009 as a member of the Royals. The A's are dealing with a number of injuries in their starting rotation right now, so DiNardo will serve as depth with Triple-A Sacramento. |

The Red Sox have agreed to a contract with left-hander Lenny DiNardo, according to Rob Bradford of WEEI.com. |
The Red Sox are just waiting for the results of an MRI before they make everything official. DiNardo, 31, pitched for Boston from 2004-06 to mixed results. Things have not gone well for the past couple of years in Oakland and he's probably going to have to spend the early parts of 2011 in Triple-A. |

Wed Aug 4 2010 | 12:55 | DiNardo not done for the season |
It turns out Lenny DiNardo (elbow surgery) may not be done for the season as initially thought. |
The left-hander was thought to be out for the year following surgery to remove bone chips from his elbow, but he is already throwing at the team's minor-league complex in Arizona. Director of Player Development Keith Lieppman described DiNardo's recovery as "miraculously quick." Despite the good news, it's unlikely that the lefty will appear in a game for the A's this year. |
