Lawrence Butler - Hits home run as pinch hitter Butler went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in a 5-1 win against the White Sox on Monday.
Impact Butler began the game on the bench, but he still made an impact when he hit a solo homer as a pinch hitter for Daz Cameron in the sixth inning. Butler had been cold coming into the contest, going 1-for-15 with seven strikeouts over his previous four games. Though he didn't start Monday, Butler has been taking on a near-everyday role for the Athletics, as this was his first game out of the starting lineup since the All-Star break.

JP Sears - Sends White Sox to another loss Sears (9-8) earned the win over the White Sox on Monday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out five batters over seven innings.
Impact Sears appeared determined to not be the first pitcher to lose to the White Sox since July 10, as he held Chicago to a lone run and retired the final 10 batters he faced. The left-handed hurler notched his second straight seven-inning quality start and has given up just one run on six hits over 14 innings during that span. Sears has held his opponent to two or fewer earned runs in five of his past six starts, though the one exception was an ERA-damaging outing during which he allowed eight runs (seven earned) over six frames against Houston.

Tyler Soderstrom - Still donning splint Soderstrom (wrist) remains sidelined from baseball activity and is slated to wear a split for several more days, MLB.com reports.
Impact Soderstrom is slated to keep the splint until at least Saturday, and he won't be able to start baseball activities until he's shed it. Soderstrom will presumably need a fairly lengthy rehab assignment whenever he's deemed ready for that step, considering he went on the IL on July 11 and is seemingly still multiple weeks away from being cleared for game action.

Jacob Wilson - Takes batting practice Wilson (hamstring) took batting practice Monday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Wilson has been progressing well in his recovery from a strained left hamstring and participated in batting practice for the first time since being placed on the IL on July 21. Still, the Athletics are taking it slow with the 22-year-old, who isn't expected back for multiple weeks.

Mason Miller - Faces hitters Miller (finger) threw a live bullpen session Monday, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Miller is dealing with a fractured finger on his non-throwing hand and continued to throw bullpen sessions while he had a cast on. He played catch for the first time without the cast Saturday and has already advanced to facing batters. The standout 25-year-old becomes eligible to return Friday, though it's unclear if he'll need to miss additional time.

Zack Gelof - Notches 13th steal Gelof went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Gelof continues to have trouble getting on base -- he has gone 2-for-24 with one walks and one hit-by-pitch over his last eight contests. He's also been caught stealing twice in that span, with his theft Sunday his first successful one since July 22. The second baseman's slump has him down to a .189/.255/.351 slash line with 13 home runs, 13 steals, 35 RBI and 38 runs scored across 89 contests. The Athletics aren't competitive this year, so they'll let their talented infielder work things out on the diamond, though the return of Darell Hernaiz could eventually cost Gelof some playing time at the keystone since Max Schuemann has played well at shortstop.

Lawrence Butler - Picks up ninth steal Butler went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Butler was hitless for the third time in four contests, but he was still able to pick up his ninth steal of the year. Since taking over the leadoff spot July 13, Butler has gone 24-for-70 (.343) over 17 contests, though he's now gone four games without a multi-hit effort. He's at a .246/.312/.466 slash line with 12 home runs, 35 RBI, 34 runs scored, 12 doubles and two triples over 79 games this season. His 27.7 percent strikeout rate is a bit lofty for the leadoff role, but he's displayed enough contact ability to be passable atop Oakland's order with few better options available.

Miguel Andujar - Logs third steal Andujar went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Andujar has gone 9-for-20 (.450) over his last five contests while seeing a starting role in left field. His steal Sunday was just his third theft on five attempts -- the outfielder's career high in stolen bases is four from the 2022 campaign, so speed is not a big part of his game. He's been good from a contact standpoint this year, slashing .300/.327/.408 with four home runs, 28 RBI, 27 runs scored, 12 doubles and a triple over 59 contests, but he offers little in power or speed while regularly batting second in a weak lineup.
AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE
Brent Rooker - Lifts long ball in loss Rooker went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Rooker was responsible for the Athletics' only scoring play of the day when he took River Ryan deep in the first inning. With 10 homers over his last 17 contests -- a span in which he's batting .328 (21-for-64) with 25 RBI -- Rooker is providing power at an elite level. The slugger is up to 28 long balls, 81 RBI, 55 runs scored, seven stolen bases and a .290/.365/.591 slash line through 98 games this season.

Osvaldo Bido - Stuck with loss Sunday Bido (2-3) allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out six over six innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Dodgers.
Impact Bido earned his first quality start with his longest outing of the year, but he wasn't able to avoid his second loss in a row. The right-hander avoided giving up a home run in a third straight start, but he's posted a 12:7 K:BB over his last 9.2 innings, and it will be tough for him to find steady success if his walk rate remains high. For the year, he's at a 4.64 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 34:18 K:BB over 33 innings across 10 appearances (four starts). He's tentatively projected to make his next start at Toronto.
