Duchscherer went back on the disabled list Thursday because of a strained hip.
Duchscherer was placed on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Wednesday, because of a pain in the same hip on which he had surgery last summer. A's manager Bob Geren said inflammation in the joint is why Duchscherer left his last start in the third inning at Minnesota on Monday. Duchscherer received treatment in the Bay Area on Thursday to begin his second stint on the DL this season, and fourth in the last three years. He is 10-8 with a 2.54 ERA in 22 starts.

Duchscherer is scheduled to receive a cortisone shot on Friday after the MRI he had Wednesday indicated inflammation in his surgically-repaired right hip, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. It is likely that the Oakland starter will avoid a trip to the disabled list.
There aren't any indications of structural damage in his right hip, an injury that forced Duchscherer out of Monday's game against Minnesota in the third inning. That same injury also sidelined him for the majority of the 2007 season. The right-hander, who is 10-8 with a 2.54 ERA in 22 starts, is expected to rest the next four to five days before he resumes throwing, and it sounds as if he will be able to pitch again in early September if all goes well.
