Hogan Harris - 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.

J.T. Ginn - Produces quality start Ginn did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's win over the Mariners, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out seven over six innings.
Impact Ginn had a rocky start to the game, allowing a single and back-to-back doubles before striking out the side in the opening frame. He blanked the Mariners the rest of the way while only allowing two more base hits despite 10 of the 14 balls in play against him being hard hit. The 25-year-old righty seems likely to get an extended look in the rotation over the final month of the season and projects to take the mound again versus the Tigers over the weekend. Ginn now owns a 4.30 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB in 14.2 inning this season.

Lawrence Butler - Goes deep again Tuesday Butler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.
Impact Butler's lone hit of the night was a first inning solo blast to center off Luis Castillo. That hit made it eight consecutive games with an extra-base hit and he's now rocking a 13-game hit streak during which he's totaled 22 hits, eight home runs, five doubles and 14 RBI. For the year, the 24-year-old is slashing .265/.319/.527 with 21 homers, 54 RBI, 54 runs, 13 steals and a 28:84 BB:K in 364 plate appearances.
SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Seth Brown - Homers as part of three-hit day Brown went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.
Impact Brown got the A's back level with a solo home run in the fourth and then supplied a walk-off single in the ninth off Trent Thornton. Over his last six starts, Brown has multiple hits five times while racking up 10 RBI over that span. Since being brought back up to the majors July 11, he's slashing .320/.381/.557 with eight homers, 25 RBI, 15 runs and a 10:27 BB:K in 136 plate appearances.

Daz Cameron - Resting again Tuesday Cameron isn't in the Athletics' lineup Tuesday against the Mariners.
Impact Cameron will sit down for a second consecutive game after going 6-for-31 with 12 strikeouts across his past eight contests. Seth Brown will start in left field instead, opening up first base for Tristan Gray.

Scott Alexander - Live BP session goes well Alexander (shoulder) came away from Monday's live batting practice session feeling healthy, MLB.com reports.
Impact The veteran left-hander continued to make steady progress Monday, with the live BP session coming on the heels of a successful bullpen Friday. Alexander's next step is almost certainly a rehab assignment, with a decision on that front likely coming by Wednesday.
SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Austin Adams - Bullpen sessions forthcoming Adams (forearm) is scheduled to throw bullpen sessions Tuesday and Friday, MLB.com reports.
Impact The right-hander has been on the shelf for just over two weeks, having hit the IL on Aug. 18. The Athletics will wait to see how Adams emerges from the two bullpen sessions before a decision is made on whether to send him on a rehab assignment for the tail end of the minor-league season. Adams has been a valuable sixth- and seventh-inning option for manager Mark Kotsay all season, making 56 appearances and recording a win and 22 holds along the way.

Tyler Ferguson - Nabs third win Monday Ferguson (3-2) got the win against the Mariners on Monday, striking out the side in a perfect ninth inning.
Impact Ferguson nearly pulled off the rare feat of throwing the minimum number of pitches in his dominant frame, retiring Victor Robles, J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodriguez on swinging strikeouts that required just 12 offerings overall. Ferguson then was rewarded for his pristine work when the Athletics walked it off in the bottom of the ninth with Shea Langeliers' solo home run, which afforded Ferguson his second win in the last three appearances. Ferguson clearly has the stuff to work in high-leverage, late-inning spots whenever closer Mason Miller isn't available, which was the case Monday after the latter threw 34 pitches in a rough 1.2-inning outing Sunday.

J.T. Ginn - Drawing another start Ginn is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Mariners in Oakland.
Impact Ginn will receive a second turn through the rotation after he surrendered four runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four across five innings in his first MLB start this past Thursday in Cincinnati. The Athletics will likely give the 25-year-old right-hander some runway in a starting role during September as he looks to make a case for a permanent spot in the big-league rotation in 2025.
SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Soderstrom - Nearly ready for rehab assignment Soderstrom (wrist) will take batting practice at Oakland Coliseum on Tuesday and is expected to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday, MLB.com reports.
Impact The rookie has been able to make steady progress over the last week-plus with respect to swinging a bat, and Tuesday will mark his biggest test yet. Assuming his BP session goes off without setbacks, he'll head to Triple-A Las Vegas for a rehab assignment that could come close to carrying through the end of the minor-league regular season on Sept. 22, given Soderstrom has been sidelined since July 9.

Osvaldo Bido - Allows four runs in no-decision Bido did not factor into the decision in Monday's 5-4 win against the Mariners, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk with four strikeouts over 5.1 innings.
Impact Bido entered the sixth inning with a 4-2 lead but yielded two runs on three hits before being lifted at 91 pitches. The 28-year-old ended a run of five consecutive starts allowing two earned runs or fewer and surrendered a home run for the first time since July 28. On the season, he owns a 3.52 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 60:25 K:BB across 61.1 innings and lines up to face the Tigers on Saturday.

Shea Langeliers - Homers twice in win Langeliers went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Monday's 5-4 win over the Mariners.
Impact Langeliers gave the Athletics a 4-3 lead on a three-run homer in the third inning and then played hero with a walk-off blast in the bottom of the ninth. The 26-year-old has three multi-hit efforts with four extra-base hits and six RBI over his past five contests. On the season, he trails only Cal Raleigh (28) at the catcher position with 25 long balls and is hitting .223 with 68 RBI, 50 runs scored and four steals across 454 plate appearances.
