Arlington, TX -- (Sports Network) - The Oakland Athletics activated reliever Keith Foulke from the 15-day disabled list on Friday.

He had been on the DL since April 19, retroactive to April 11, with neck stiffness.

In seven games this season, Foulke has recorded one save while giving up two runs in seven total innings, with six strikeouts and one walk.
