Rotoworld is reporting that Mark Ellis and Nomar Garciaparra are both heading to the disabled list, with Eric Patterson and a reliever expected to be called up to replace them.
Ellis and Garciaparra both looked like they would be d.l.-bound when they each went down yesterday, so this isn't much of a surprise, and it certainly isn't going to help the situation with the A's, who are apparently going to have Bobby Crosby playing regularly in the meantime.
