Doubront (elbow) was moved to the 60-day DL on Wednesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Doubront underwent Tommy John surgery earlier this month, and he'll miss the entire 2016 season. The move to the 60-day DL is essentially a formality, and it clears a spot on the 40-man roster, which the Athletics will use on outfielder Matt McBride, whose contract was selected Wednesday.
