OAKLAND ATHLETICS NEWS

Tyler Soderstrom - Activated from IL Soderstrom (wrist) was activated from the injured list Saturday.

Impact Soderstrom has missed the last two months with a bone bruise on his left wrist. Prior to being activated, he went 9-for-20 with three homers, eight RBI, six runs scored and four walks during a rehab assignment. Soderstrom should provide depth at catcher, first base and designated hitter.

JJ Bleday - Multi-hit effort Friday Bleday went 2-for-4 with a double in a win over the White Sox on Friday.

Impact Bleday extended a modest hitting streak to four games with the productive night, one that also featured his third double in that span. The slugging outfielder has been in an atypical power drought -- he hasn't left the yard in the last 13 games -- but his current modest surge in production and the fact he's starting to get good wood on the ball again could be the harbinger of another resurgence. Bleday has demonstrated impressive pop in his breakout campaign, knocking exactly half of his 130 hits for extra bases, including a career-high 20 home runs.

Zack Gelof - Stays hot in win Gelof went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in a win over the White Sox on Friday.

Impact Gelof provided one of only two extra-base knocks for the Athletics while generating his third multi-hit effort in the last five games. Gelof's bat has seemingly woken from its season-long slumber in September, as he kicked off the month with a three-hit tally and has posted a .304 average, .812 OPS, six extra-base hits, four RBI, four steals and six runs across 48 plate appearances. His contact issues persist -- even in that productive sample, he's still struck out at a 31.3 percent clip -- but he's been able to raise his season average to .212, a meager figure that's nevertheless at its highest point since July 9.

Mason Miller - Secures save Friday Miller earned the save in Friday's 2-0 win over the White Sox, pitching a scoreless inning with two strikeouts while allowing one hit.

Impact The Oakland closer worked around a one-out Andrew Vaughn single to pick up his 25th save of the season, good for sixth in the AL. Miller has not blown a save since returning from the injured list stint for a finger injury Aug. 7. Since that date, he has collected 10 saves while pitching to a 2.50 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB across 18 innings.

Brady Basso - Collects first career win Basso (1-0) earned the win Friday against the White Sox, pitching 5.1 scoreless innings while yielding five hits and one walk. He struck out two.

Impact The rookie southpaw seized the opportunity to secure his first big-league victory against the hapless White Sox with this tidy 77-pitch performance. Basso worked around five singles as the Chicago lineup couldn't manage to get a runner past second base. The 26-year-old has performed well over his first 14.2 innings, pitching to a 1.23 ERA, 2.97 FIP, 0.89 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB. If Basso sticks in the Oakland rotation, he will line up to make his next start against the Cubs on the road next week.

Jack O'Loughlin - Receives outright assignment The Athletics outrighted O'Loughlin to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Impact Oakland dropped O'Loughlin from the 40-man roster Wednesday, and after clearing waivers, the left-hander will head to Las Vegas. The 24-year-old has a 4.66 ERA and a 6:5 K:BB across 9.2 innings spanning four games with the A's.

T.J. McFarland - Hit with third loss Thursday McFarland (2-3) took the loss against the Astros on Thursday, allowing two earned runs on two hits over one-third of an inning. He did not walk or strike out a batter.

Impact McFarland was the next man in following Mitch Spence's seven-inning quality start, but the veteran southpaw allowed back-to-back singles after retiring Yordan Alvarez to open the frame. McFarland would get the hook at that point and see the two runners eventually cross the plate and snap a 2-2 tie, saddling him with the loss. The 35-year-old had last allowed an earned run Aug. 28 prior to Thursday, and despite the stumble, he still carries a 3.78 ERA and 1.22 WHIP across a career-high 72 appearances (52.1 innings).

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Jacob Wilson - Multi-hit effort in loss Wilson went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a loss to the Astros on Thursday.

Impact The rookie contributed only his second multi-hit effort since returning from the injured list Aug. 27 and extended his hitting streak to six games in the process. Wilson has been making constant contact during that stretch, mustering a .333 average with a tiny 7.7 percent strikeout rate across 26 plate appearances.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Tyler Nevin - Smacks seventh homer Nevin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Astros.

Impact Nevin gave the A's some life in the ninth inning with an opposite-field blast off Josh Hader, cutting Houston's lead to 6-3. It's Nevin's first home run since July 6 -- he'd gone just 9-for-62 (.145) with a .419 OPS in 26 games coming into Thursday. The 27-year-old Nevin is slashing .196/.287/.329 through 251 plate appearances this season with seven homers, 18 RBI and 20 runs scored while being limited to the occasional start against left-handed pitching.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Brent Rooker - Homer, stolen base Thursday Rooker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Astros.

Impact Rooker tied the game in the top of the eighth inning with a 420-foot solo shot off Framber Valdez, his 36th homer this year. The 29-year-old Rooker has been on a tear at the plate, going 28-for-75 (.373) with seven homers and 18 RBI over his last 18 games. His slash line is up to .298/.370/.580 with 102 RBI, 76 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 548 plate appearances this season.

Mitch Spence - Goes seven innings vs. Houston Spence allowed two runs on seven hits across seven innings in a no-decision Thursday against the Astros. He struck out two.

Impact Spence was sharp Thursday, with both Houston runs coming on a Jason Heyward homer in the second inning. The 26-year-old Spence has pitched to a 3.66 ERA over his last 10 starts (54 innings), lowering his ERA on the season to 4.33 with a 1.35 WHIP and 113:41 K:BB across 137.1 innings. Spence currently lines up for a road matchup with the Cubs in his next outing.

Austin Adams - Re-evaluated after setback Adams is no longer scheduled to begin a rehab assignment after suffering a setback with his right forearm injury, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Adams has been sent back to Oakland to be re-evaluated. He's already missed nearly a month of action and now the remainder of his season looks to be in jeopardy, pending results of his exam.

Tyler Soderstrom - Set to return this weekend Soderstrom (wrist) will be activated from the 10-day injured list for this weekend's series against the White Sox, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Soderstrom has gone 8-for-16 with three home runs in five rehab games with Triple-A Las Vegas to show the Athletics he's ready. He's been sidelined since early July with a stress reaction in his left wrist. Soderstrom should be in line for regular reps at first base with Oakland upon activation.
