OAKLAND, CALIF. - Chad Gaudin, who baffled Twins batters in a start earlier this season, is moving from Oakland rotation to the bullpen, where he's spent most of his previous five seasons.
The A's need to make room for the return of righthanded starter Rich Harden, who is scheduled to come off the 15-day disabled list to start Sunday's series finale at Texas.
The 25-year-old Gaudin has a 3-2 record with a 3.75 ERA in six starts this season after he made 34 starts in 2007 as a full-time starter for the first time. He shut out the Twins 3-0, allowing four hits while striking out four and walking none in seven innings April 23.
Harden, on the disabled list because of a strained throwing shoulder since April 10, is 1-0 with an 0.82 ERA in two starts this season.
