As a team, the A’s were only able to muster four total hits and two walks in the contest — with Butler the only member of their offense to reach base twice. He also struck out twice in the ballgame. On the season, he’s hitting a disappointing .249/.307/.441 with eight homers, 23 RBI and eight stolen bases through his first 231 plate appearances.

Oof. The 27-year-old left-hander walked a batter and didn’t record a strikeout in the miserable performance. All of the damage done against him came in the second inning, including home runs off the bats of Ernie Clement and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Lopez got just two swings and misses on 43 pitches on the night, posting a miserable CSW of 21 percent. He’s now 0-3 with a 6.32 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and a 17/9 K/BB ratio over 15 2/3 innings in six appearances (three starts) with the A’s this season. It remains to be seen if he’ll draw another start on Tuesday against the Twins, or if he’ll head back to Triple-A Las Vegas for more seasoning.

Bleday is now 6-for-9 with a home run, a steal, and three RBI in his two minor league games. Meanwhile, Denzel Clarke struck out four times on Wednesday and has 13 strikeouts in 17 MLB plate appearances. It seems likely that we see Bleday back up for Clarke in the next few weeks.

Since getting lit up by the Yankees on May 11, Severino has allowed just three earned runs over 18 innings. Unfortunately, the A’s just can’t seem to do much of anything for him, and he’s been stuck on one win for over a month now. He’ll pitch at home against the Twins next time out. He thus far has a 6.20 ERA in Sacramento, compared to a 0.87 ERA in his five road starts.

Carlos Narváez has been great for the Red Sox, but Wilson is going to run away with AL Rookie of the Year honors if this keeps up. He’s 15-for-33 in his last nine games, and he pushed his OPS back over .900 today for the first time since mid-April.

Clarke’s first five major league games have seen him go 1-for-17 with 13 strikeouts and no walks. The A’s made the switch to Clarke in center field in large part because he’s an outstanding defender, and they’re not expecting a ton of offense here. Still, they can’t keep running him out there if he’s truly this overmatched at the plate.

It seems like Alexander will get the first opportunity to be the primary first baseman in Sacramento with Nick Kurtz on the IL. Alexander, who is a left-handed hitter, was recalled earlier in the week and sat against two lefties over the weekend before getting these last two starts. He was hitting .252/.348/.509 with 10 homers and 33 RBI in 42 games with Triple-A Las Vegas, so he’s not likely to be a fantasy option outside of AL-only leagues.

Bleday was hitting just .204/.291/.365 with six homers, 18 RBI, and one stolen base in his first 189 plate appearances of the season before being demoted. However, Denzel Clarke has also seemed overmatched in his first few games, so a strong couple of weeks in Triple-A could have Bleday right back in the big league lineup.

Newcomb was acquired from the Red Sox for cash considerations on Tuesday and will now be active for the Athletics on Wednesday. He last pitched on Saturday when he threw one inning out of the bullpen, so he should be available today.

Butler stays hot at the plate, extending his hit streak to nine games, including multiple hits in four of his last six. He knocked a single in the first inning, then took Hunter Brown deep for a solo homer to lead off the fourth, the only run the A’s could score on the day. Butler collected a third hit in the sixth. The 24-year-old outfielder is hitting .252/.309/.451 with eight homers, 26 runs scored, 23 RBI, and eight steals over 223 plate appearances.

Sears surrendered four runs in the second inning on a base hit, two doubles, and a two-run homer by Jeremy Peña. Jose Altuve then took Sears deep for a solo homer in the third before the Astros brought two more runs in to score in the frame. Altuve went yard off Sears again in the fourth to add two runs for Houston. That would do it for the 29-year-old left-hander. Sears leaves with a 5.18 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and a 43/11 K/BB ratio across 57 1/3 innings. He’ll look to bounce back against the Blue Jays in Toronto on Sunday.

Butler gets the nod over rookie sensation Jacob Wilson to face Astros ace Hunter Brown. He’s really heated up of late, batting .323 (10-for-31) with one homer, six RBI and two steals over his last seven games. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Butler and Wilson splitting time as the top-of-the-order table-setter moving forward.

Newcomb made 14 appearances for the Athletics from 2023-2024 before latching on with the Red Sox last offseason. The 31-year-old southpaw was jettisoned from Boston’s pitching staff after compiling a respectable 3.95 ERA across 41 innings (12 appearances, five starts) in a versatile swingman-type role. He’ll most likely operate in long relief for the Athletics.

Avans receives his first call up to the majors after hitting .328/.414/.444 with four homers and 16 steals in 48 games this season at the Triple-A level, with top prospect Nick Kurtz hitting the injured list with a hip flexor strain. The 28-year-old long-time minor leaguer signed with the Athletics in the offseason after spending the previous seven years in the Dodgers organization. He is unlikely to play enough to merit consideration for fantasy rosters outside of deep AL-only formats.

No word yet on the severity, which will determine how much time Kurtz winds up missing. The 22-year-old top prospect tweaked his hip during Saturday’s extra-inning affair with the Phillies and is likely facing a multi-week absence. The timing is extremely unfortunate for fantasy managers since Kurtz was finally starting to heat up at the dish, hitting .280 (7-for-25) with four homers and nine RBI over seven games prior to the injury. There should be a definitive return timetable at some point this week.

Krook loses his spot on the Athletics’ 40-man roster with the club making a flurry of moves ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Astros. The 30-year-old lefty has made only three relief appearances this season in the majors. He figures to pass through waivers unclaimed and remain with the club as organizational depth.

The procedural move opens up a spot on the club’s 40-man roster. Cusick has yet to appear in the big leagues and boasts a lackluster 6.75 ERA across 14 2/3 innings (13 appearances) this season for Triple-A Las Vegas.

Gelof was on his way back from wrist surgery and suffered a stress reaction in his ribs. He was shut down fully for a few weeks but has now begun his hitting progression from the early stages again. There is no timeline for his return, but he could begin a rehab assignment next week if all goes well.

Brown went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment last Friday when the Athletics brought up prospect Denzel Clarke. The 32-year-old veteran, who has appeared in 563 games in the big leagues dating back to 2019, will remain with the organization for now.

The 28-year-old backstop was making his big league debut on Sunday and had been 0-for-3 heading into the eighth inning. There, the A’s tied the game on an RBI triple off the bat of Lawrence Butler before MacIver lined an 0-1 cutter from Strahm into center field to give the A’s the lead. MacIver also cut down Johan Rojas attempting to steal second base in the ninth inning to end the ballgame. He isn’t likely to see enough playing time or deliver enough production to make him relevant from a fantasy perspective, but it was still a very memorable debut for MacIver.

Davidson struck out in his lone plate appearance in his big league debut on Saturday. He then got his first hit out of the way in the first inning on Sunday, smacking a two-run double off of Jesús Luzardo that increased the A’s early advantage to 3-0. Davidson also singled in the third inning and worked a walk in the eighth. He started at first base with Nick Kurtz (hip) sidelined on Sunday and could see increased action there in the coming days.

Miller had been knocked around in each of his previous two outings and blew a save against the Phillies on Saturday night. He bounced back beautifully in this one though, requiring only 12 pitches (eight strikes) to get the job done. He did surrender a two-out infield single to Alec Bohm, but pinch-runner Johan Rojas was cut down attempting to steal second base to end the game. On the season, Miller now sports a 5.79 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and a 36/10 K/BB ratio over 18 1/3 innings on the season while securing 12 saves in his first 14 opportunities.

The rookie right-hander also issued three walks on the afternoon while striking out a pair. The Phillies scratched out a run in the second inning as J.T. Realmuto bounced into a double play with the bases loaded. Trea Turner then delivered an RBI single in the third inning and plated another with a sacrifice fly in the fifth. Hoglund got just four whiffs in 92 pitches on the afternoon, posting an underwhelming CSW of only 21 percent. He’ll look to bounce back as he carries a 5.13 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and a 22/9 K/BB ratio (26 1/3 innings) into Saturday’s showdown against the Blue Jays in Toronto.

Kurtz will sit out Sunday’s series finale after suffering a left hip flexor during Saturday’s extra-inning affair with the Phillies. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. The 22-year-old top prospect has caught fire recently, hitting .280 (7-for-25) with four homers and nine RBI over his last seven games, after an ice-cold stretch to begin his major-league career. It’ll be Logan Davidson making his first-ever start to face Phillies southpaw Jesús Luzardo.

Morales put together an extremely impressive Triple-A debut, retiring 11 consecutive batters to open the contest before finally issuing a walk. It would be the lone baserunner he allowed over six nearly-perfect frames. The 22-year-old top pitching prospect was promoted to the doorstep of the big leagues earlier this week after posting a strong 2.98 ERA and 53/15 K/BB ratio across 42 1/3 innings (eight starts) for Double-A Midland.

Kurtz, who is hitting .280 (7-for-25) with four homers and nine RBI over his last seven games, downplayed concern to reporters following an early exit from Saturday’s extra-inning marathon against the Phillies. He was 2-for-3 with an RBI and a pair of walks before leaving the game in the 10th inning. The A’s are facing a tough lefty in Jesús Luzardo on Sunday, so Kurtz might not have started regardless, especially with the team having Monday off. Logan Davison could fill in for him.
