MINNEAPOLIS -- The Oakland Athletics brought Jim Johnson into their bullpen when they lost All-Star closer Grant Balfour in free agency. Fake Vans . Two weeks into the season, Johnson is 0-2 with an 18.90 ERA and one blown save in five appearances for the Athletics. Manager Bob Melvin couldnt afford to wait while the former Orioles closer got into a groove, removing him from that role on Thursday. Melvin will proceed with a closer-by-committee approach. "Theres no timetable," Melvin told As beat writers before the team played their series finale against the Minnesota Twins. "Lets just get him straightened out. And we have plenty of options. Thats the good thing about our team, our versatility. Well play it by ear based on how the games going, whos available on that particular day." Hes allowed at least two runs in three of his five appearances, his seven total runs allowed is tied for the most in the AL among relievers. Hes allowed more walks and hits than any other reliever in the league. Its a far cry from the dominant reliever who saved 50 games for the Orioles last season, tied with Atlantas Craig Kimbrel for the most in the majors. The As were in the market when Balfour, who had 38 saves last year to help Oakland win its second straight AL West title, signed with the Tampa Bay Rays over the winter. Johnson is making $10 million and will be a free agent at the end of this season, but the As can take heart that he has recovered from similar funks before to post solid seasons. Last year, he was charged with three losses and four of his nine total blown saves during a tough six-game stretch in the middle of May. He allowed 12 runs over five innings in that stretch, but posted a 1.52 ERA in his other 69 appearances. Oakland will use Dan Otero, Ryan Cook, Luke Gregorson and Sean Doolittle in save situations, depending on the matchup. Fake Vans Website .

Their early bye is over and Danny Trevathan is back.The teams leading tackler last season, Trevathan missed the first three games after fracturing his left leg just below his knee during an Aug. 12 practice at training camp.Hes expected to make his 2014 debut Sunday when the Broncos (2-1) host the Arizona Cardinals (3-0).Man, were so happy to have him back, linebacker Nate Irving said, raising his voice and enunciating each word so that Trevathan could hear his high praise two lockers away. Hes the heartbeat of the defence, baby!Trevathan glanced at Irving and shook his head.But it feels good to see him out here running around, Irving continued. Its pretty good to know that hes healthy and everything. Getting that extra guy back out there is pretty good for us. It. Boosts. The. Team. Morale.When Trevathan spun around, he was surrounded by a phalanx of cameras and teasing teammates.Give me a shout-out, Danny! implored defensive lineman Malik Jackson from behind the scrum.Trevathan had other ideas.He slithered past the hoard, saying he had somewhere else to be.Fierce between the sidelines but shy in public, hell make his statements on the football field, just like he did in 2013.The third-year pro out of Kentucky is coming off a breakout season in which he led the Broncos with 124 tackles and intercepted three passes before collecting a team-best two dozen tackles in the playoffs.If all continues to go well this week, Trevathan will return to his starting spot on the weak side next to Irving and opposite strong side linebacker Von Miller against the undefeated Cardinals.Brandon Marshall, who collected a team-high 29 tackles in his absence, will return to playing alongside Trevathan in nickel situations or spelling him in the base defence whenever Trevathan needs a breather.I thought Brandon Marshall stepped in and did a real good job, coach John Fox said. Fake Vans From China. Weve got some youth at that position, there were errors made, but all in all, just like our record, I think, two of the situations better than the third. Well welcome back Danny because he was one of our better players and its good to have him back.Denvers defence saved the day with game-clinching last-minute plays against Indianapolis and Kansas City but couldnt stop Russell Wilsons 80-yard TD drive in overtime two weekends ago.With Trevathans return to health, the Broncos have the defence that had co-ordinator Jack Del Rio so excited this summer, one that boosts star power in Miller, Chris Harris Jr., Aqib Talib, DeMarcus Ware, Rahim Moore and Terrance Knighton.Its a huge deal, Knighton said. I told him that today. Im happy to have him back. He brings a lot more attitude to the defence. Its not that B-Marsh didnt, its just Dannys more of a feisty guy. It will be good to have him back. Its good that Brandon got that experience while Danny was hurt. So, itll allow our linebackers to rotate and have guys that they can trust go in and play.Marshall said he feels like he not only held things together during Trevathans absence but showed the Broncos they can count on him to play a bigger role.I thought I surprised a lot of people, Marshall said. I surprised coaches, fans, my teammates, I thought. Im not really sure if I had the full support of everybody, but I think going forward, I will a€” either as a backup player, or if I come in on nickel packages. So I thought I did well. I think I showed enough to get the support of everybody.Notes: LB Lerentee McCray (knee) and S David Bruton (ankle) sat out of practice.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton ' ' '
