Elvis Andrus - Heading for X-raysAndrus will undergo X-rays after feeling a pop in his left ankle during Saturday's win against the Astros, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

ImpactAndrus suffered the injury while scoring the game-winning run while the A's walked off the Astros in the ninth inning. The veteran shortstop should be considered day-to-day until the results of the X-rays are known, though he at least seems unlikely to be in the lineup for Sunday's series finale.

Josh Harrison - Snaps out of funk FridayHarrison went 1-for-2 with two walks and two runs in a win over the Astros on Friday. He was also caught stealing on his only attempt.

ImpactOther teammates turned in flashier stat lines with more impactful hits, but Harrison and his fantasy managers will take the busy night of small ball that helped shake the 3-for-25 slump the veteran had been mired in for the previous seven games. Harrison is still carrying an impressive .287/.351/.413 joint slash line between his time with the Nationals and current stint with the Athletics, and he remains just an RBI short of tying his career-best tally in that category that he set back in 2016 with the Pirates.

Chris Bassitt - Next start coming TuesdayBassitt will make his next start on normal rest Tuesday in Seattle, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

ImpactThis will give Bassitt a chance to make two starts next week, as he could pitch the final game of the season in Houston on normal rest. He was excellent in his first start back Thursday, logging three scoreless innings while allowing one hit, one walk and striking out four Mariners. Bassitt threw 48 pitches in that outing, so there's an outside chance he goes deep enough to qualify for the win in Tuesday's start.
