05/09/2008 - Arlington, TX (Baseball Betting) - The Oakland Athletics activated reliever Keith Foulke from the 15-day disabled list on Friday.

He had been on the DL since April 19, retroactive to April 11, with neck stiffness.

In seven games this season, Foulke has recorded one save while giving up two runs in seven total innings, with six strikeouts and one walk.

The 35-year-old reliever came out of retirement to return to Oakland, where he was an All-Star in 2003. He signed a free-agent contract with Cleveland on January 4, 2007, but announced his retirement on February 16, 2007.

Foulke has compiled a 41-34 career record with 191 saves and a 3.29 ERA in 595 games with Oakland, Boston, San Francisco and the Chicago White Sox. He was a key member of Boston's 2004 World Series run, posting a 1-0 record, three saves and a 0.64 ERA in 11 postseason outings.

Chiefs' Treen Green out for Sunday's game

How long Trent Green will remain sidelined is unknown. Coach Herm Edwards said Monday he will miss a second straight start Sunday when the Chiefs host the San Francisco 49ers.

A two-time Pro Bowler, Green was going into a feet-first hook slide when he was knocked unconscious by a thunderous, head-snapping hit from Cincinnati's Robert Geathers.

Oddsmakers at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com currently have the Chiefs listed as 7-point favorites versus the 49ers.

The 49ers got beat by Philadelphia 38-24 as a 6.5-point underdog last week. The combined score went OVER the posted over/under total (42.5).

Alex Smith completed 27-of-46 passes for 293 yards with a touchdown. Michael Robinson rushed for 29 yards and a pair of touchdowns on five carries.

The Chiefs lost 9-6 to Denver last week as an 11-point underdog. The combined score was well UNDER the posted over/under total (38).

Larry Johnson rushed for 126 yards on 27 carries. Damon Huard completed 17-of-23 passes for 133 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions.
