Brady Basso - Impresses in first career start Basso did not factor into the decision in Saturday's loss against the Tigers, allowing three hits and one walk in six scoreless innings. He struck out six.
Impact Basso looked great in his first starting opportunity in the big leagues. The 26-year-old rookie was making his fourth appearance of his career, but this was the first one to go past two innings. Basso got into trouble in the third inning with runners on second and third with no outs, and he managed to get out of it unscathed. He should be expected to get another turn in the rotation given his strong outing against the Tigers.

Jacob Wilson - Idle Saturday Wilson isn't in the Athletics' lineup Saturday against the Tigers.
Impact Wilson went 2-for-4 with an RBI during Friday's series opener, and he'll now grab a seat on the bench while Nick Allen starts at shortstop, batting eighth.

Max Schuemann - Not starting Saturday Schuemann isn't in Oakland's lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.
Impact Schuemann will take a seat Saturday after going 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in Friday's series opener. His absence will move Tristan Gray to third base while Seth Brown covers first, allowing Daz Cameron to pick up a start in left field and bat sixth.
SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Shea Langeliers - Taking seat Saturday Langeliers isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.
Impact Langeliers will get to rest Saturday after going 1-for-6 during Friday's 13-inning series opener. Kyle McCann will catch instead for Brady Basso while batting ninth.

Austin Adams - Feels good after live BP Adams (forearm) came away from Friday's live batting practice feeling good and could soon embark on a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.
Impact Adams had also thrown a bullpen session Tuesday without any setbacks, so he seems to be making steady progress. If he makes it through the weekend without any residual effects from having faced hitters, Adams could head out to Triple-A Las Vegas early in the week to begin what would likely be a relatively brief rehab assignment.

Osvaldo Bido - Missing out on start this weekend Bido isn't in line to make a turn through the rotation during this weekend's series versus the Tigers, as Brady Basso and J.T. Ginn have been confirmed to start Saturday and Sunday...
Impact Bido looked on track for a two-start week after he gave up four runs over 5.1 innings in his outing against the Mariners on Monday, but he'll instead have his next start pushed bak until at least next week following the Athletics' call-up of Basso, who was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday. Manager Mark Kotsay didn't shed much light on why Bido was bypassed for a start Saturday or Sunday, but given how well the right-hander has performed of late, his absence from the rotation this weekend could point to him dealing with a yet-to-be-disclosed injury. Dating back to the beginning of August, Bido had gone 3-1 with a 2.36 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 32:10 K:BB in 34.1 innings.
SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Brady Basso - Slated to start Saturday Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said that Basso will start Saturday's game against the Tigers, Jessica Kleinschmidt of the Oakland Athletics Radio Network reports.
Impact Osvaldo Bido would have been lined up to pitch Saturday, but the Athletics look set to skip his turn through the rotation, as Basso will take the hill for the penultimate game of the series, while J.T. Ginn starts Sunday's finale. Basso previous three appearances with the Athletics came as a reliever from late May through mid-June, but he had been working out of the rotation at Triple-A Las Vegas prior to his call-up Thursday and looks set to operate as a traditional starter Saturday. He covered at least five innings in four of his last five outings with Las Vegas, compiling a 2.84 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 27:4 K:BB in 25.1 innings during that stretch.

Daz Cameron - Registers fifth steal Cameron went 1-for-4 with one RBI and one stolen base in Friday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Tigers.
Impact Cameron had a decent game, including his third steal in his last 11 contests. He's gone 8-for-40 (.200) with four RBI and 16 strikeouts in that span. However, it was the man who pinch hit for him -- Seth Brown -- who was the hero in Friday's contest with two clutch hits in extra innings. Cameron is at a .190/.255/.331 slash line with five home runs, five steals, 14 RBI and 19 runs scored over 157 plate appearances this year. Cameron has remained the Athletics' fourth outfielder even with Miguel Andujar (abdomen) being shut down for the year in late August.

Brent Rooker - Plates two in three-hit effort Rooker went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Tigers.
Impact Rooker had an RBI double in the 10th inning and a sacrifice fly in the 12th, tying the game on both plays. He's gone 19-for-42 (.452) during a 10-game hitting streak. Rooker is at a .301/.373/.589 slash line with 35 homers, 99 RBI, 74 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 125 contests this year.

Lawrence Butler - Stays hot Friday Butler went 3-for-5 with a walk in Friday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Tigers.
Impact Butler wasn't directly involved in any scoring plays, but he did his part to keep the line moving. He's up to a 16-game hitting streak, going 27-for-66 (.409) with eight home runs, six doubles, 14 RBI, 17 runs scored and three stolen bases in that span. The outfielder has emerged as a productive everyday option during his surge. He's at a .270/.325/.526 slash line with 21 home runs, 54 RBI, 56 runs and 13 steals across 108 games this season.

Seth Brown - Comes up clutch twice in win Brown went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Tigers.
Impact Brown didn't start Friday, but he was one of four Athletics with multiple hits in the marathon game. The 32-year-old saved the day in the 11th inning with a game-tying homer, then clutched up again with the walk-off hit, a single, to plate JJ Bleday in the 13th. Brown has seven multi-hit efforts over his last 10 games, going 16-for-35 (.457) with four homers and 14 RBI in that span. The surge has him up to a .251/.310/.421 slash line with 14 homers, 44 RBI, 29 runs scored and four stolen bases through 106 contests overall.

Mitch Spence - Takes no-decision versus Tigers Spence allowed a run on eight hits and struck out six without walking a batter over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Tigers.
Impact Spence was a little generous with the contact, but he was able to effectively limit the damage. He threw 70 pitches (48 strikes), but this was his shortest start since a 2.2-inning mess versus the Mets on Aug. 15. The right-hander is now at a 4.42 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 111:41 K:BB through 130.1 innings over 31 appearances (20 starts) this season. His next outing is projected to be at Houston.
