Mitch Haniger - Cleared for activityX-rays showed Haniger's forearm has properly healed, and he was cleared to resume baseball activity Wednesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

ImpactHaniger underwent surgery in June after suffering a fracture in his right forearm, and he can now begin his rehab process. There is no immediate timetable for Haniger's return, but he will almost certainly be sidelined past his eligible return date of August 13. The 32-year-old outfielder was slashing .230/.281/.372 through 160 plate appearances before getting hurt.

Hogan Harris - Slated for bulk relief dutyHarris is in line for bulk relief duty Wednesday in San Francisco, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

ImpactHarris' appearances this season have been split evenly between starting an bulk relief work. He will be following Freddy Tarnok, who is pretty stretched out himself.

Freddy Tarnok - Opening on WednesdayTarnok will serve as an opener for the Athletics on Wednesday in San Francisco, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

ImpactHe hasn't pitched in nearly a week and went three innings in that appearance, so it could be more of a piggyback with Hogan Harris rather than a traditional opener/bulk reliever situation. Tarnok has allowed three runs and walked five over 5.2 frames with the A's this season.

Brent Rooker - Back in lineup WednesdayRooker (illness) is starting at designated hitter and batting third in Wednesday's game in San Francisco.

ImpactIt's Rooker's first start in a week. He was scratched from one start during that time due to illness, although it's not clear whether that's the full reason for his lack of playing time recently. Between promotions and the Athletics getting guys back from injury, Rooker isn't assured of regular at-bats in the second half.

Joc Pederson - Sits against leftyPederson is not in the lineup Wednesday versus the Athletics.

ImpactWilmer Flores will take a turn as the Giants' designated hitter as they face off against A's left-hander Hogan Harris. Pederson has batted just .120 with a .513 OPS in 34 plate appearances this year versus southpaws.

Marco Luciano - Batting eighth in debutLuciano is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in his major-league debut Wednesday versus the Athletics, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

ImpactLuciano was called up Wednesday afternoon from Triple-A Sacramento, where he had slashed .292/.370/.625 in 27 plate appearances since being promoted from Double-A Richmond earlier this month. He is only 21 years old and doesn't offer a ton of current counting-stats upside, but his arrival represents an exciting new chapter in San Francisco and it wouldn't be a shock if the highly-touted prospect is able to provide an immediate spark.
