Troy Taylor - Grabs first career holdTaylor recorded his first career hold in a win over the Athletics on Thursday, firing a perfect sixth inning.
ImpactThe rookie needed just seven pitches, five which he landed for strikes, to get through his one frame following an effective five-inning outing from starter Bryan Woo. Taylor, who rocketed up the organizational ranks following his debut at Single-A Modesto to start last season, has had no trouble acclimating to the big leagues, now carrying an 0.87 ERA, 0.68 WHIP and 10.5 K/9 across his first 10.1 innings in the majors.

Jacob Wilson - Singles, scores in lossWilson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run in a loss to the Mariners on Thursday.
ImpactThe rookie is maintaining an everyday role now that he's healthy, but Wilson has gone just 4-for-25 since returning from his IL stint due to a hamstring injury back on Aug. 27. However, given his elite body of work as a hitter in the minors -- Wilson posted averages of between .318 and .571 at each stop during his meteoric year-plus rise through the organization -- it figures to be just a matter of time before he starts showing signs of figuring out big-league arms as he continues to see them during the stretch run.

Tyler Soderstrom - Homers in first rehab gameSoderstrom (wrist) took three plate appearances as the designated hitter in Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Round Rock on Thursday, hitting a two-run home run.
ImpactSoderstrom was making his rehab assignment debut and slugged the round tripper in his final plate appearance of the game in the sixth inning. It was the rookie's first taste of game action since July 9, and he therefore figures to get in several more games, including some on defense, with the Aviators before activation begins to be considered.

Andrés Muñoz - Struggles in Thursday appearanceMunoz (elbow) allowed two earned runs on a hit and a walk over one inning of relief in a win over the Athletics on Thursday.
ImpactMunoz was making his first appearance since Saturday after battling some elbow soreness, and he looked somewhat less than 100 percent while surrendering a two-run home run to Brent Rooker that cut the Mariners' four-run lead in half in the ninth inning. While the right-hander was subsequently able to strike out JJ Bleday to finish the game, it remains to be seen whether the rocky outing was more due to some rust or lingering issues with the elbow.
