Chad Pinder - Friday return possible Pinder (knee), who went 1-for-4 with a two-run double for Triple-A Las Vegas in a loss to Reno on Thursday, is expected to be activated for the Athletics' three-game road series a...
Impact Pinder logged another full game in the field, this time handling shortstop duties for the Aviators in the loss. The ultra-versatile 29-year-old hasn't experienced any setbacks while playing three rehab games this week, so activation before Friday's series-opening matchup against the Twins appears to be a strong possibility.

Matt Olson - Launches eighth homer Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Red Sox.
Impact His sixth-inning blast off Eduardo Rodriguez capped the scoring for the A's. Olson had gone just 3-for-26 (.115) in the eight games since his last long ball, but on the season the first baseman is still hitting a solid .267 with eight homers and 22 RBI through 32 contests.

Jake Diekman - Nails down fifth save Diekman struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Wednesday to record his fifth save of the season in a 4-1 win over the Red Sox.
Impact Lou Trivino worked the eighth inning against the heart of Boston's order, including right-handed hitters J.D. Martinez and Xander Bogaerts, leaving the ninth -- and the 7-8-9 hitters -- to Diekman. The duo will likely continue trading closing duties back and forth between them depending on matchups, but Diekman has been the more effective pitcher overall, posting a 2.12 ERA and 25:7 K:BB through 17 innings.

James Kaprielian - Nabs first big-league win Kaprielian (1-0) picked up the win Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over five innings in a 4-1 victory over the Red Sox. He struck out six.
Impact The right-hander recorded his first major-league win in his first major-league start, throwing 58 of 95 pitches for strikes before exiting. Kaprielian could get a long look in the rotation with neither Jesus Luzardo (finger) nor Mike Fiers (elbow) expected back before the end of the month.

Chad Pinder - Goes deep in second rehab game Pinder (knee) went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs in Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Sacramento on Tuesday.
Impact After going hitless in his first rehab game Monday, Pinder broke the ice with a solo home run off Anthony Banda in the first inning of Tuesday's contest. Pinder was able to play all nine innings in right field as well after logging seven frames on defense Monday, so he certainly seems to be heading in the right direction for a possible activation in the coming days.

A.J. Puk - Requires multiple rehab outings Pitching coach Scott Emerson said Puk (biceps) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday and will need "a couple more outings" before returning from the injured lis...
Impact The 26-year-old threw 20 pitches and recorded three strikeouts over a scoreless frame in his first rehab appearance Tuesday with the Aviators. Puk landed on the injured list after covering 3.1 innings during his season debut April 5, and he could return sometime next week if all goes well on the rehab stint.
