A's Tomko is sent to shelf

After picking up his 100th career victory with a five-hit shutout against the Rangers, A's right-hander Brett Tomko appeared in the visitors' club before batting practice on Tuesday. Some people assumed that perhaps he was using the prop as an excuse for appearing a bit late. In fact Tomko woke up with discomfort in his arm, and then got checked by a local doctor who discovered he has a pinched nerve. "He'll be out for a while," A's manager Bob Geren said.

Tomko is absolutely out of the game for Sunday in Oakland against the Indians. Geren said Dana Eveland is an option to replace Tomko. Tomko joined in the A's in August.
