Kyle Muller - Outrighted off 40-man roster The Athletics outrighted Muller to Triple-A Las Vegas after he cleared waivers Wednesday.

Impact Muller has fewer than three years of big-league service time and hasn't been previously outrighted, so he didn't have the ability to reject the assignment to Triple-A after clearing waivers. Before the Athletics moved him off their 40-man roster Tuesday, Muller served mostly in a mop-up role over his 18 relief appearances for the big club, logging a 4.22 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 35:9 K:BB in 42.2 innings. He could get stretched back out for starting duty as he heads back to Las Vegas.

Armando Alvarez - Makes return to big club The Athletics recalled Alvarez from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Impact Oakland optioned Alvarez to Triple-A on Saturday, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the big club four days later since the Athletics placed Brent Rooker (personal) on the paternity list in a corresponding move. Rooker is expected to miss between one and three games while he's on the paternity list, and once he returns, Alvarez will likely head back to the minors.

Brent Rooker - Goes on paternity list The Athletics placed Rooker on the paternity list Wednesday.

Impact Rooker will miss between one and three games while he takes time away from the Athletics to welcome a new addition to his family. The Athletics recalled Armando Alvarez from Triple-A Las Vegas to provide an extra bat off the bench in the meantime, while Oakland could rotate some of its normal position players at Rooker's usual spot at designated hitter while Rooker is away.

Shea Langeliers - Bangs out three XBH in win Langeliers went 4-for-4 with two doubles, a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Mets.

Impact The backstop came one base shy of hitting for the cycle, and he supplied what proved to be the game-winning hit in the third inning when he launched a three-run homer off former battery-mate Paul Blackburn. Langeliers has produced four hits in back-to-back games, but prior to that offensive eruption he was batting just .182 (10-for-55) in 16 contests since the All-Star break. On the season, he sports a lopsided .226/.288/.466 slash line, and his next home run will give a new career high with 23.

Joe Boyle - No-decision in return to majors Boyle came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Mets, giving up four runs on seven hits and three walks over four-plus innings. He struck out six.

Impact Making his first MLB appearance since May 5, Boyle had his usual trouble finding the plate consistently, tossing 54 of 85 pitches for strikes while also hitting a batter and uncorking a wild pitch, but he also generated 29 called or swinging strikes. The 25-year-old right-hander figures to remain in the Oakland rotation the rest of the way in 2024, but he has a long way to go to be of interest in most fantasy formats given his 7.39 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 17.1 percent walk rate through his first 31.2 big-league innings. Boyle lines up to make his next start at home early next week against the Rays.

Ross Stripling - Moved to bullpen Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said Tuesday that Stripling is being shifted to a long-relief role, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Stripling has a 5.72 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 40:16 K:BB across 72.1 innings (14 starts) this season, and he'll be removed from the rotation in favor of Oakland's younger arms. He didn't have much fantasy utility as a starter given the lack of effectiveness, and that's not likely to change in a long-relief role.

Jacob Wilson - Approaching rehab assignment Wilson (hamstring) will travel to Triple-A Las Vegas this week to continue his rehab, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Assuming Wilson doesn't run into any setbacks, the expectation is that he could begin playing in rehab games with the Aviators by Saturday. The A's haven't yet decided how long they'll keep the 22-year-old in the minors, but beginning an assignment Saturday would give him plenty of time to potentially return to Oakland before the end of the month.

Abraham Toro - Taking seat Tuesday Toro is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Kyle Muller - DFA'd by Oakland The Athletics designated Muller for assignment Tuesday.

Impact The left-hander last pitched since Aug. 3 versus the Dodgers and surrendered six runs across one inning. Muller had a 3.02 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB in 41.2 frames this season prior to that outing, but he won't retain his place on Oakland's 26-man and 40-man rosters.

Joe Boyle - Brought up to bigs The Athletics recalled Boyle from Triple-A Las Vegas to start Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Impact Boyle hasn't pitched for the Athletics since May 5 after stumbling to a 7.16 ERA in seven starts to open up the season. He hasn't fared much better at Triple-A, logging a 5.63 ERA across 38.1 innings. Boyle has yielded 57 walks across 66 combined innings between Oakland and Las Vegas. However, he's turned things around recently, allowing just two runs over his last three starts (15.2 innings) while posting a 30:7 K:BB.
