Hogan Harris - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Takes fourth loss Saturday Harris (4-4) took the loss against the White Sox on Saturday, allowing a game-winning solo home run to the only batter he faced.

Impact Closer Mason Miller had garnered a 21-pitch save Friday night, so Harris was called on to preserve a 6-6 tie in the ninth Saturday. There wasn't much suspense before he proved he wasn't up to the task, as Andrew Benintendi took Harris deep to right field on the fourth pitch he saw from the right-hander for the game-winning hit. Harris was fresh after last having pitched Tuesday, but the stumble resulted in the third run he'd allowed over the last four appearances (4.2 innings).

Picks up fourth win Tuesday Harris (4-3) got the extra-innings win against the Astros on Tuesday, allowing an unearned run on one hit over two innings. He struck out three.

Impact Harris breezed through his first frame in the 11th while preserving a 2-2 tie, recording strikeouts on two of the three hitters he faced. He returned for the 12th after the Athletics had rallied for two runs in the top half of the frame, and although he allowed a double to Jose Altuve that plated phantom runner Jason Heyward to open the inning, he subsequently bore down and retired the dangerous trio of Yordan Alvarez, Kyle Tucker and Alex Bregman to end the game. Harris has been effective out of the bullpen since his return to the big-league club in late August, mustering a 2-0 record, 0.93 ERA and 0.93 WHIP across 9.2 innings over five appearances.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Earns win in stellar relief outing Harris (3-3) got the win against the Mariners on Tuesday, firing three scoreless innings during which he allowed two walks and recorded three strikeouts.

Impact Harris took over following a quality start from rookie J.T. Ginn and put together a highly efficient long-relief effort, requiring only 37 pitches to record nine outs. The left-hander helped keep the Mariners at bay and then reaped the rewards when Seth Brown hit a walk-off single, affording Harris the first victory of his current big-league stint. Harris is likely to continue being used in a relief role down the stretch, although multi-inning outings will likely be the norm given he's capable of tolerating the elevated workloads.

SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Back in majors The Athletics recalled Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.

Impact Harris has been relatively effective in the big leagues this season, putting up a 2.98 ERA and 1.44 WHIP across 54.1 innings. However, he's turned in a 4.94 ERA and 1.83 WHIP over 27.1 frames since being sent to Triple-A in late July. He'll presumably work out of the bullpen until he's able to find some consistency, at which point he could return to Oakland's rotation. Dany Jimenez was optioned to Las Vegas in a corresponding move.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Inconsistent since Triple-A return Harris owns a 2-2 record, 4.94 ERA and 1.83 WHIP across 27.1 innings over five starts since being optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on July 26.

Impact The elevated metrics are largely the result of Harris' last two starts, when he's surrendered 12 runs (11 earned) on 16 hits (three home runs) and five walk across 9.1 innings. In contrast, Harris' first three starts upon returning to the Aviators saw him replicate much of the same success he'd enjoyed at the big-league level, as he'd pitched to a 2-0 record, 2.00 ERA and 11.0 K/9 in that span. Control has clearly been a persistent issue at both levels for Harris, however, and it remains to be seen if the southpaw can build some momentum before the minor-league season concludes and subsequently log at least a couple of more starts with the Athletics before the end of the major-league campaign.

AUGUST 19 • ROTOWIRE

Moved to Triple-A The Athletics optioned Harris to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Impact Harris will cede his spot in the rotation to Paul Blackburn (foot) on Friday with Blackburn coming off the 60-day IL. Harris' option comes as a bit of a surprise considering how effective he's been for Oakland. The 27-year-old has a 2.98 ERA in 54.1 innings spanning 11 appearances (nine starts).

Wild in no-decision Harris did not factor into the decision in Friday's 6-2 win against the Phillies, allowing two runs on three hits and six walks with no strikeouts over three innings.

Impact Harris yielded two runs over three frames despite allowing nine baserunners and generating only two swinging strikes on 70 pitches. The southpaw doubled his season-high in walks with six, but he has not surrendered more than three earned runs in an outing since his first appearance May 7. He will take a 3.40 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 35:23 K:BB across 47.2 innings into the All-Star break.

Officially activated The Athletics reinstated Harris from the paternity list Friday. Harris will start Friday's game against Philadelphia.

Impact Harris missed the maximum three games on the paternity list and will be activated in time to start Friday on six days' rest. The southpaw hasn't allowed more than three runs in eight consecutive starts and owns a 3.22 ERA with 35 strikeouts across 44.2 innings on the year. Michel Otanez was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move.

JULY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Returning Friday Harris (personal) is in line to return from the paternity list to start Friday's game in Philadelphia.

Impact Harris has already been away from the team for the maximum three games since landing on the paternity list Tuesday, so Oakland would have had to add him back to the roster Friday even if he wasn't scheduled to start. He'll be taking the hill Friday on six days' rest after his last start came last weekend versus Baltimore. Harris has been a dependable innings eater for Oakland, working between five and six frames in all but one of his last seven outings while delivering a 3.00 ERA and 1.36 WHIP during that stretch.

JULY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Goes on paternity leave The Athletics placed Harris on the paternity leave list Tuesday.

Impact By rule, Harris will miss one game and as many as three games while he welcomes a new baby to the family. He had tentatively been lined up to start Thursday in Boston, back the Athletics should be able to just push him back a day or two without disrupting the rotation much.

JULY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers third loss Harris (1-3) took the loss Friday against Baltimore, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out four.

Impact The Oakland southpaw held his own against a staunch Orioles lineup, turning in his seventh consecutive start of three or fewer earned runs. Over that stretch, Harris has pitched to a 3.00 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 27:14 K:BB across 36 innings. He lines up to make his next appearance against Boston on the road next week.

Falls flat versus Arizona Harris (1-2) allowed three runs on 10 hits and a walk while striking out three over 3.1 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Diamondbacks.

Impact Just two of the 10 hits against Harris went for extra bases, but he put too much traffic on the bases in each of the first four innings. The Athletics offered next to nothing in terms of offense, tallying two hits and a walk in the 3-0 loss. Harris had gone at least five innings in each of his previous five outings since he was recalled to the majors May 30. He's now at a 3.18 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 31:14 K:BB through 39.2 innings over eight appearances (six starts) this season. The southpaw is tentatively projected to make his next start at home in a tough matchup versus the Orioles.

Strikes out seven in first start Harris did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Rays, allowing three runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

Impact Harris gave up a pair of unearned runs on an Isaac Paredes homer with two outs in the first inning before holding Tampa to just one run over his final 4.2 frames while matching a career high with seven strikeouts. The 27-year-old Harris had allowed four runs in 8.2 innings in a long-relief role with Oakland earlier this year and struggled to a 7.67 ERA in eight starts with Triple-A Las Vegas. Still, he could be in for another look in the A's rotation as they deal with a rash of injuries. The left-handed Harris would line up for a home start against Seattle in his next outing.

Called up, starting Thursday The Athletics recalled Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday. He'll start the Athletics' series finale in Tampa Bay.

Impact Harris is back up with the Athletics for the third time this season, but he'll be starting for the first time after his prior two appearances with Oakland came in long relief. The southpaw has been a full-time member of the rotation at Las Vegas for most of this season, logging a 7.67 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 29:24 K:BB over 29.1 innings in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. Harris' numbers over parts of two seasons in the majors (6.78 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 64:31 K:BB in 71.2 innings) aren't much better, so he won't make for a dependable streaming option Thursday.

He appeared in 14 games with the Athletics last season, finishing with a 3-6 record while posting a 7.14 ERA and 1.51 WHIP over 63 frames.
