OAKLAND ATHLETICS NEWS

Brady Basso - Allows five runs in first loss Basso (1-1) took the loss against Texas on Wednesday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk over three innings while striking out three.

Impact Basso ran into a buzz saw in the first inning, allowing five-consecutive batters to reach to open things up while seeing three early runs come home for Texas. The lefty then got tagged for a two-run homer in the third after giving up a leadoff single to begin the frame and he would not return for the fourth. Basso had gone at least into the fifth inning in three straight starts coming in, allowing three or fewer runs on each occasion. However, Wednesday's five runs allowed marked a season high for the 26-year-old, as did the two long balls he surrendered in the contest.

Ross Stripling - Throws live batting practice Stripling (back) completed a live batting practice session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Impact The veteran right-hander presumably got through the session without any issues, making it the third box he's checked off within the last week after also completing bullpen sessions Wednesday and Saturday. Assuming Stripling doesn't have any residual effects from Tuesday's activity in coming days, he remains a candidate to be activated at some point during the final series of the season that begins Friday against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park.

Shea Langeliers - Another productive night at plate Langeliers went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and two runs in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

Impact Langeliers cashed in with runs on his two trips on the basepaths, scoring on Tyler Soderstrom's first-inning double and Zack Gelof's game-tying sixth-inning sacrifice fly. The hot-hitting backstop is finishing the regular season on a tear, as he now boasts a six-game hitting streak and nine extra-base hits, 14 RBI and an .825 OPS across the 88 plate appearances covering his last 23 games.

Jacob Wilson - Contributes game-winning hit Wilson went 1-for-3 with an RBI walk-off single and a walk in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

Impact The rookie drove home Zack Gelof with one out in the ninth inning to snap a 4-4 tie and send the Athletics home winners in their penultimate game at Oakland Coliseum. Wilson now has singles in three straight games, but he's shown very little pop since his late-August return from a long IL stint with just four extra-base hits across 86 plate appearances.

Zack Gelof - Scores game-winning run Tuesday Gelof went 1-for-3 with an RBI sacrifice fly, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

Impact Gelof snapped a 3-3 tie in the sixth inning with his sacrifice fly, which plated Shea Langeliers. He eventually scored the game-winning run on Jacob Wilson's walk-off single as well in the penultimate game for the Athletics at Oakland Coliseum. The eventful night was an extension of a productive all-around month for Gelof despite some persistent contact issues, as he's generated a .278 average, .715 OPS, eight extra-base hits, seven RBI, five steals and nine runs across 84 September plate appearances.

Tyler Soderstrom - Swats pair of doubles in win Soderstrom went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and another two-bagger in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

Impact The rookie drove home Shea Langeliers in the first inning with his first double and later added his ninth two-bagger of the season. Soderstrom's bat has caught fire after he went 0-for-7 over his first two games back from the injured list, as he's hitting .471 (8-for-17) with four extra-base hits, five RBI, two walks and three runs over his last five games.

Mason Miller - Garners win Tuesday Miller (2-2) got the win over the Rangers on Tuesday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning. He allowed two hits and also struck out two.

Impact Miller entered with the game tied, hoping to keep it that way to give his team a chance to win it in the bottom of the frame. He allowed back-to-back one-out singles but rebounded with a strikeout and fly out to get out of the jam. The A's would end up walking it off to give Miller the win. Miller has allowed a baserunner in each of his last five appearances but has still managed to lock up four saves and a win since Sept. 11. For the year, Miller owns a 2.30 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 99:21 K:BB in 62.2 innings.

Brandon Bielak - Outrighted to Triple-A The Athletics outrighted Bielak to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Impact Bielak is no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization for the time being. He holds a 5.16 ERA and 14:13 K:BB over 29.2 frames this season between the Astros and Athletics.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Lawrence Butler - On base three times Butler went 1-for-2 with two walks, two runs and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Rangers.

Impact Butler drew multiple walks for the fifth time this season and added his third stolen base over the last four games. Dating back to Aug. 21, Butler has hit safely in 27 of his last 29 games and is batting .336 over that span. He's two steals away from joining the 20-20 club for the season, as he currently stands at 22 homers for the year.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Mitch Spence - Can't make it to five innings Spence did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's win over the Rangers, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out two over 4.2 innings.

Impact Spence found himself with traffic on the bases in every inning but the second, leading to runs for the Rangers in the first, fourth and fifth innings. The fifth inning was particularly troublesome, as Spence found himself in a bases loaded jam before plunking Jonah Heim to tie the game at 3-3 and failed to make it out of the inning. Spence has now gone fewer than five innings in two of his last four starts and has allowed a homer in three straight after Nathaniel Lowe took him deep in the fourth. Spence has also allowed 29 hits in his last 21 innings pitched but only given up eight runs over that span. The 26-year-old now owns a 4.35 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 121:44 K:BB in 147 innings and lines up for one final start against the Mariners this weekend.
