Ty France - Not starting FridayFrance (arm) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

ImpactFrance had X-rays come back negative after leaving Thursday's game with a left arm injury, but he'll be sidelined for at least one game. The 27-year-old was also scheduled to undergo an MRI, though the results aren't yet known. In the meantime, Dylan Moore will start at first base Friday for Seattle.

Jed Lowrie - Sits again FridayLowrie will be on the bench Friday against the Royals, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Cristian Pache - Not in Friday's lineupPache will sit Friday against the Royals, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

ImpactPache finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games. While the Athletics seemingly remain committed to having him continue to develop in the big leagues, he hasn't shown much evidence of that development thus far, hitting a miserable .160/.207/.225 on the year. Ramon Laureano slides to center field in his absence, with Seth Brown in right.

Christian Bethancourt - Heads to benchBethancourt will sit Friday against the Royals, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

ImpactBethancourt may be splitting into the small side of a platoon, as his off day here against Zack Greinke means he's now sat against the last three righties Oakland have faced. That followed a run of five straight starts against righties, though, so it's unclear if that's the case. Sheldon Neuse will be the first baseman Friday.

Christian Bethancourt - Timely hitting in lossBethancourt went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and a walk in a loss to the Mariners on Thursday.

ImpactBethancourt's first-inning single plated Sheldon Neuse to give the Athletics some early momentum, although the end result was another low-scoring loss for Oakland. The 30-year-old had been mired in a 2-for-21 funk that had encompassed the previous six games, but the backstop has still produced a solid .269 average and excellent .577 slugging percentage over 15 games in June.

Sheldon Neuse - Keeps hitting in Thursday's lossNeuse went 2-for-4 with a run in a loss to the Mariners on Thursday.

ImpactNeuse mustered the only multi-hit effort of the afternoon for the punchless Athletics. The 27-year-old has now hit safely in each of his first two games since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas, a cautiously optimistic sign he may be able to carry over some of the hot hitting that was a hallmark of his two-week stint with the Aviators.

Diego Castillo - Gets fourth win ThursdayCastillo (4-1) fired a perfect eighth inning in a win over the Athletics on Thursday, recording two strikeouts.

ImpactThe veteran reliever prevented the Mariners' 1-0 deficit from growing during his ultra-sharp frame, one in which he threw eight of 11 pitches for strikes. Castillo was then rewarded for his 10th scoreless effort in the last 11 appearances with his fourth win when the Mariners went ahead on two wild pitches in the top of the ninth and Paul Sewald slammed the door on the Athletics in the home half of the final frame. Castillo had allowed two runs (one earned) in his previous outing Saturday against the Angels, but he's largely righted the ship after a rocky first month-plus of the season by posting 3-1 record, three saves, one hold, a 1.88 ERA and 0.49 WHIP over his last 14.1 innings.
