Zack Gelof

OAK Second Baseman #20

Zack Gelof drove in a run and stole a base in a loss to the Tigers on Sunday.

Gelof drove in the only run for the A’s in the blowout loss. The 24-year-old also was able to pick up his 22nd steal, and he added a walk on top of two hits. There have been real flashes for Gelof in 2024, but just not sustained ones as seen in his .209/.272/.369 slash.
J.T. Ginn

OAK Relief Pitcher #70

J.T. Ginn allowed three runs in five innings in a loss to the Tigers on Sunday.

Ginn allowed a solo homer to Trey Sweeney and then two more run-scoring singles. The 25-year-old gave up seven hits while issuing one walk and striking out five. It wasn’t a horrible start for the right-hander, but enough damage was done early — especially with the A’s offense scoring just one run while he was in the game. Ginn has a friendly matchup against the White Sox next weekend.
Brady Basso

OAK Relief Pitcher #66

Athletics optioned LHP Brady Basso to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Basso will head back to Triple-A after pitching well in his first MLB start with six shutout innings against the Tigers on Sunday. He could be back before the season ends, but obviously time is running out on that happening. Brandon Bielak was brought up from Triple-A in the corresponding transaction.
Brandon Bielak

OAK Relief Pitcher #37

Athletics selected the contract of RHP Brandon Bielak from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Bielak will add bullpen depth for the A’s for the final three weeks. The Athletics optioned Brady Brasso to make room for Bielak on the roster.
Tyler Soderstrom

OAK Catcher #21

Tyler Soderstrom went 0-for-3 in his second rehab game with Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.

Being asked to face Max Scherzer in a rehab game just doesn’t seem fair. Soderstrom did homer as a DH in his first appearance Thursday. He played first base for six innings on Saturday. Soderstrom has been on the IL since July 11 with a bone bruise in his left wrist.
Brady Basso

OAK Relief Pitcher #66

Brady Basso blanked the Tigers for six innings Saturday in his first big-league start.

Basso, recalled Thursday, previously made three relief appearances for the A’s in May and June. His big curveball has been a nice strikeout pitch for him in the minors, and it served him fairly well today, too. Still, he might be more interesting in relief for the long run. On the other hand, this should earn him another start, one that will most likely come against the White Sox. That makes him a decent enough play in mixed leagues for one week.
Osvaldo Bido

OAK Starting Pitcher #45

After being skipped in the rotation, Osvaldo Bido pitched two scoreless innings with three strikeouts in relief Saturday against the Tigers.

Bido was originally expected to start today, but the A’s decided to slot in Brady Basso instead. It sounds like Bido will go back into the rotation next week, though there isn’t much info being passed around about the A’s right now. Bido did struggle in his start Monday, but he was great in August; even with the shaky outing against the Mariners, he has a 2.36 ERA in his last six starts.
Brent Rooker

OAK Left Fielder #25

Brent Rooker went 3-for-5 with two RBI in an extra-innings win over the Tigers on Friday.

What a season it has been for Rooker. Those three hits pushed his average to .301; a strong number regardless but even more impressive — and surprising — when you remember he hit just .246 last year. The power has been there again for the 29-year-old with 35 homers, and he’s now just one RBI away from the century club at 99.
Seth Brown

OAK First Baseman #15

Seth Brown drove in three runs while hitting a two-run homer and picked up a walk-off RBI single in the 12th to give the Athletics a 7-6 win over the Tigers on Friday.

Brown did all of that despite not starting Friday’s game. With the Tigers down 5-3, the 32-year-old veteran smoked a two-run homer off Shelby Miller to tie the game at 5-5. He came up big two innings later with an RBI single off Beau Brieske to give Oakland the victory and Brown his 44th run driven in. Brown has put up a decent .251/.310/.421 slash, but isn’t quite good enough in any category to recommend as a fantasy option at this stage of his career.
Mitch Spence

OAK Relief Pitcher #40

Mitch Spence allowed one run in 4 1/3 innings in a no-decision versus the Tigers on Friday.

Spence gave up eight hits, but he also allowed just that single run — a Riley Greene single in the fifth — while striking out six. The 26-year-old has been up-and-down in his first season with the Athletics, and a 4.42 ERA is evidence of that. He’ll make one of his final starts of the year against the Astros on Thursday.
