ImpactSeager made his presence felt in the bottom of the third, as he notched a two-run single that scored both J.P. Crawford and Mitch Haniger. The third baseman is only hitting .215 through 65 at-bats this month, though.

Kyle Seager - Plates two runsSeager went 1-for-3 with two RBI, a walk and a run scored in Sunday's win over Oakland.
Matt Olson - Launches 27th homerOlson went 2-for-4 with a home run in Sunday's loss against Seattle.
ImpactOlson was the only player who recorded more than one hit in an anemic showing of the Athletics' offense, as the team went 7-for-33 as a whole. The first baseman still blasted his 27th long ball of the campaign and ranks in the Top 3 in homers in the American League while also posting a .962 OPS through 95 games. That figure ranks as the second-best of his career, but the best one since in seasons where he's played at least 90 games.

Cole Irvin - Only lasts four inningsIrvin (7-9) was tagged with the loss Sunday against the Mariners after allowing four runs on five hits and a walk while fanning three across four innings.
ImpactIrvin was coming off an excellent outing in which he tossed seven scoreless innings earlier this week, but he couldn't build off that performance and delivered his shortest appearance of the entire campaign. He also ended a streak of five straight starts allowing three or fewer runs.

Marco Gonzales - One out away from quality startGonzales (3-5) earned the win Sunday against the Athletics after allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while fanning four across 5.2 innings.
ImpactGonzales ended just one out away from recording his fourth quality start of the season, but he did just enough to earn his third win of the year. He now has two wins in a row and clinched back-to-back victories for the first time in 2021 while also allowing exactly two runs in each start. He's scheduled to pitch again during the road series against the Rangers later this week.

Darren McCaughan - Confirmed to start MondayMcCaughan is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Astros, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
ImpactMcCaughan will be rewarded with a start after he thrived while working as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen in his MLB debut Wednesday, when he limited the Rockies to one run on no hits and three walks. The 25-year-old right-hander generated only one swinging strike among his 61 pitches in the outing, and he posted an underwhelming 18.9 percent strikeout rate over 10 starts at Triple-A Tacoma this season. His reliance on inducing weak contact to record outs will make it difficult to trust him in fantasy.

Jake Bauers - Stealing starts from Shed LongBauers will start in left field and bat ninth Sunday against the Athletics.
ImpactBauers may have supplanted Shed Long as Seattle's top option in left field; he'll pick up his third start in a row Sunday, while Long sticks on the bench for the second straight day. The 25-year-old played a key part in Saturday's 5-4 win, going 2-for-3 with a pair of singles, a walk and a run.
