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

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.
