Gets third win Trivino (3-2) recorded the victory in a win over the Royals on Friday, firing 1.1 scoreless innings during which he allowed two hits and recorded two strikeouts.
Impact The right-hander was rewarded for his impressive 20-pitch effort with his third victory of the season when Elvis Andrus hit a game-winning single in the ninth inning. Following a forgettable five-earned-run outing over one-third of an inning against the Blue Jays on May 5, Trivino has rattled off 12.2 scoreless innings across 12 appearances, lowering his ERA to a career-low 2.40 and garnering two wins, four saves and a hold in the process.

Walks it off Friday Andrus went 2-for-4 with a game-winning RBI single and a double in a victory over the Royals on Friday.
Impact Andrus' ninth-inning single narrowly plated Matt Chapman to snap a 3-3 tie, allowing the veteran shortstop to atone for a pair of earlier gaffes on defense that led to a Royals run in the eighth inning. Andrus' .213/.266/.274 season slash line naturally has plenty of room for improvement, but he's been markedly better thus far in June with a .276 average (8-for-29), four doubles, two RBI, five walks, a stolen base and four runs across nine games.

Raps out pair of doubles Chapman went 3-for-4 with an RBI double, another two-bagger and two runs in a win over the Royals on Friday.
Impact The struggling third baseman led the Athletics in hits on the night with his first multi-hit effort since June 2. Chapman also went without a punchout for only the second time in the last 12 games, but he continues to carry a bloated 32.0 percent strikeout rate for the season that qualifies as the second highest of his career.

Impact Lowrie posted a .999 OPS over his first 14 games of the year but has hit just .224/.301/.345 in 47 games since that point. Tony Kemp will get the nod at second base in his absence.

Soothes slump with homer Brown went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 4-3 win over the Royals.
Impact Brown entered the contest mired in a miserable 1-for-29 slide. That mark is now 2-for-32 as Brown drilled a two-run homer to right field in the fourth inning for his first long ball since May 23. The extended slump has knocked Brown's season batting average down to .191, though he does have nine homers and 23 RBI overall.

Settles for no-decision Friday Irvin completed six innings against Kansas City on Friday, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and no walks while striking out four. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact For six innings Friday, Irvin kept the Royals off the scoreboard. However, Salvador Perez greeted him with a leadoff homer in the seventh frame, and Irvin was pulled after the following two batters reached base on singles. Irvin still had a chance to earn a win after his exit, but the Royals' bullpen eventually lost the lead and the contest. Still, the southpaw's appearance was a positive one as he notched his second straight quality start and went exactly six innings for the third straight outing. Irvin is lined up to next face the Angels at home Wednesday.

Set to face live pitching Monday Laureano (hip) is scheduled to face live pitching Monday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Laureano has been out with a right hip strain since May 27. The center fielder resumed baseball activities earlier this week and will face live pitching Monday. Assuming he comes out of Monday's workout feeling well, the next step will likely be to go on a minor-league rehab assignment. If all goes to plan, Laureano could rejoin the Athletics' lineup within the next week.

Impact Murphy will get a rest after starting the past four games behind the plate. Aramis Garcia will start at catcher and bat ninth Friday.

Hitless in first start Bolt started in center field and went 0-for-3 in a loss to the Royals on Thursday.
Impact The 27-year-old made his first start since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on June 1 and came up empty at the plate. Bolt, who raised expectations with a .375/.488/.625 slash line over 80 plate appearances with the Aviators, may have an opportunity to continue seeing occasional playing time while Ramon Laureano (hip) remains sidelined.

Still perfect with Athletics Bedrosian, who allowed two hits and no walks over a scoreless ninth inning in a loss to the Royals on Thursday, has yet to be scored upon in the 5.1 innings covering his four appea...
Impact Bedrosian put on another impressive display Thursday, firing eight of his nine pitches for strikes during his one frame. The 29-year-old has already coaxed his ERA down from 11.12 to 5.73 during his time in Oakland and appears to be making a solid case for higher-leverage assignments with his body of work thus far.

Hit hard in relief Luzardo allowed three earned runs on two home runs and also surrendered an additional hit over one inning in a loss to the Royals on Thursday.
Impact The left-hander had a rough go of it during his one frame thanks to Jorge Soler and Andrew Benintendi, who both tagged him from homers. Luzardo has now allowed multiple earned runs in each of his last two relief appearances, yielding three round trippers overall during that three-inning stretch.

Guduan posted a 6.28 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 5:5 K:BB over 14.1 innings for the A's before landing on the shelf with a strained groin in late May.
