A.J. Alexy - Back in big-league bullpenAlexy was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

ImpactHe made one appearance in the majors this season in mid-July, giving up three earned runs with more walks (three) than strikeouts (two) in two innings against the Mariners. Alexy, who should work in low-leverage situations, has a 6.27 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and an 87:47 K:BB in 84.2 innings at Triple-A.

Joe Barlow - Blister prompts another IL stintBarlow was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right index finger blister.

ImpactHe threw a scoreless inning Wednesday after being sidelined for over a month with a blister on the same finger, so we shouldn't assume it will be a minimum IL stay for Barlow. A.J. Alexy was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.

Kohei Arihara - Awarded another startArihara will make his next start with the Rangers on Sunday in Minnesota.

ImpactArihara turned in a ho-hum debut start for the Rangers on Tuesday -- he struck out six while allowing three earned runs over 5.2 innings in a loss to Oakland -- but the coaching staff was satisfied enough with the 30-year-old's performance to hand him another turn through the rotation. He'll draw a much tougher matchup for the second leg of the two step, heading out to Target Field to face a Twins offense that ranks seventh in the majors this season with a 111 wRC+.

Ezequiel Duran - Sitting against rightyDuran is not in Friday's lineup against the Twins.

ImpactHe will sit for the second time in the last three games. Josh Smith, who is hitting eighth against righty Dylan Bundy, may have a loose hold on the strong side of a platoon at third base.

Brent Honeywell Jr. - Next rehab outing setHoneywell (elbow) is slated to pitch two innings for Single-A Stockton on Friday night and shift his rehab assignment to Triple-A Las Vegas next week if all goes well, the team's o...

ImpactThe talented but injury-hampered right-hander was solid over a 14-pitch inning in his rehab debut with the Ports on Tuesday, and he'll now have a chance to bump up his workload Friday. Honeywell should get a particularly good litmus test whenever he does shift over to the Pacific Coast League for the next phase of his rehab assignment, given the hitter-friendly conditions in that circuit.

Vimael Machín - Hot hitting continuesMachin went 2-for-4 with a double in a loss to the Rangers on Thursday.

ImpactMachin authored the only multi-hit effort of the night for the Athletics in an extension of what has arguably been his best stretch of hitting in the majors yet. The 28-year-old now boasts a .364 average and tiny 8.7 percent strikeout rate over his last seven games, a stretch during which he has only one extra-base hit, a double, but a trio of two-hit efforts.
