Parker, who has been dealing with right fore - arm discomfort, met with Dr. James Andrews Mon- day in Florida, and the de- cision has been made that Parker needs Tommy John- style ligament replacement surgery. It's the second go-around with Tommy John surgery for Parker, who had it in 2009 and missed the 2010 season. He's scheduled to under the surgery a week from Tuesday in Pensac - ola with Andrews in charge. The A's are already miss- ing starter A.J. Griffin to begin the season. He needs three weeks rest for elbow strain before he throws again. S c o t t K a z m i r w a s scratched from his start Monday, but his triceps stiffness is considered rel - atively minor and he could start again Tuesday or Wednesday.
