Mason Barnett - Yields three runs in no-decision Barnett did not factor into Friday's decision against Cleveland, allowing three runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out four across 3.1 innings.

Impact Barnett was promoted from Triple-A Las Vegas ahead of Friday's start, his fifth of the season and 10th of his major-league career. He kept the Guardians off the board through the first three innings but proceeded to allow four of the first five batters he faced in the fourth on base, resulting in three runs scored for Cleveland. Barnett has allowed at least three earned runs in six of his last seven major-league outings, and he has a 7.16 ERA and 1.75 WHIP across 44 innings this season. Assuming he stays with the big club, Barnett is lined up to face the Astros at home next weekend.

Zack Gelof - Supplies A's lone runs Friday Gelof went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run during the Athletics' 5-3 loss to the Guardians on Friday.

It was Gelof's fifth home run over his last 15 games and 19th long ball of the season, needing only one more to register his first 20-homer season of his major-league career. Gelof has an .803 OPS with 11 RBI and four steals in September.

Impact Rock spent the previous three days with the big club and was touched up for two runs on one hit and two walks while failing to record an out in Thursday's 10-1 loss to the Rays. Mason Barnett has been recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Mason Barnett - Officially recalled for Friday's start The Athletics recalled Barnett from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Impact Barnett will start Friday's game against Cleveland, and Joe Rock has been optioned to Las Vegas in a corresponding move. Barnett has appeared in 18 games with the Athletics this season, making four starts, and owns an ugly 7.08 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 38:24 K:BB across 40.2 innings. He's started each of his last four appearances with the club and has functioned as a starter in Triple-A, so Barnett should be stretched out.

Denzel Clarke - Swipes two bases Thursday Clarke went 1-for-2 with two steals and a walk in Thursday's 10-1 loss to the Rays.

Impact Clarke was active on the bases early, swiping second and third base after depositing a single in the third inning. The center fielder has appeared in 10 games since returning from a left hamstring strain, going just 2-for-14 (.143) with no extra-base hits or RBI. Clarke boasts significant speed and strong defensive acumen, but he's struggled mightily to find his footing offensively at the big-league level.

Lawrence Butler - Goes yard in Thursday's loss Butler went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 10-1 loss to the Rays.

Impact Butler provided the lone run for the Athletics, crushing a solo homer in the sixth inning. The outfielder has gone yard five times in his past 11 games, though he's gone just 9-for-43 (.209) during that stretch. On the year, Butler is slashing .231/.319/.390 with 17 homers, 59 RBI, 58 runs and 10 stolen bases in 145 contests.

Mason Barnett - Starting Friday The Athletics will recall Barnett from Triple-A Las Vegas to start Friday's game against the Guardians, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Barnett owns a 7.08 ERA and 1.62 WHIP through 40.2 innings in the majors this season. He hasn't been much better in four starts since returning to the minors in mid-August (6.97 ERA, 1.84 WHIP), but the A's will bring him back onto the active roster to fill the void in their rotation. He'll be welcomed back to the big leagues by a Guardians lineup that's been trending upward while posting a .748 OPS over its last 10 games.

Coming into the day, Springs had allowed just two runs over 12 innings in his prior two outings. His ERA now sits at 6.18 across 28 starts (138.1 innings) this season with a 1.47 WHIP and 109:56 K:BB. He's currently in line to face the Angels at home his next time out.

Impact The 32-year-old righty made just two relief appearances for the Athletics before landing on the injured list May 13 due to the shoulder injury. After making limited progress over the past few months while he worked his way through a throwing program, Kriske eventually opted for surgery to address the injury. He'll likely be a non-tender candidate heading into the upcoming offseason.
