Hogan Harris - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Notches 17th save Harris earned the save after walking one and striking out one over a hitless ninth inning in Friday's 6-5 victory over the Astros.

Impact Harris was tasked with protecting a one-run lead after Houston had trimmed a 6-1 deficit to 6-5 over the seventh and eighth innings. The left-hander issued a one-out walk to Nelson Velasquez, but he kept the Astros hitless to preserve the win and secure his 17th save of the season. Harris lowered his ERA to 3.33 while helping Oakland prevent Houston from gaining ground in the tightly contested AL West race. Harris is ending the season on a strong note, going 4-for-5 in save chances with a 2.25 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 12 appearances since the beginning of September.

Flirts with danger in save Harris allowed a run on three hits and a walk while striking out one over one inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Angels.

Impact This was Harris' first save since Sept. 4. The Athletics haven't created many save chances lately, leaving both Harris and Elvis Alvarado a bit dry on closing duties. Harris is now at a 3.42 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 86:41 K:BB through 68.1 innings this season, converting 16 of 23 save chances while adding 13 holds as a fixture in the high-leverage mix.

Blows save, gets win Harris (4-2) allowed one run on one hit and one walk while striking out one over 1.1 innings, taking a blown save but earning the win over the Blue Jays on Monday.

Impact Harris served up a game-tying solo shot to Andres Gimenez in the ninth inning, but he was able to get the win when the Athletics answered back in their half of the frame. This outing ended a 6.2-inning scoreless streak for Harris, who earned three saves and two holds in that span. He's at a 3.45 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 83:39 K:BB with 15 saves in 22 chances and 12 holds over 62.2 innings this season. Harris and Elvis Alvarado have shared the closing duties for the Athletics recently.

Secures 15th save Harris walked one and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Friday's 7-6 win over the Mariners.

Impact Harris picked up his second save in as many days, perhaps signaling a shift in momentum back in his favor after Elvis Alvarado saw more save chances in late August. Harris is on a 6.2-inning scoreless streak with a 10:3 K:BB in that span. For the year, he's posted a 3.38 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 82:38 K:BB through 61.1 innings while adding 15 saves, 12 holds and six blown saves. Whether he's closing or setting up, Harris looks to be a lock for late-inning work.

Dominant in 14th save Harris earned a save against the Mariners on Thursday, striking out two batters over one scoreless inning.

Impact Harris inherited a three-run lead when he entered in the ninth inning and blew through three Seattle batters, throwing 10 of 14 pitches for strikes and notching a pair of punchouts. The southpaw collected his first save since Aug. 23, as Elvis Alvarado had stepped in for the team's two most recent saves prior to Thursday. Based on recent usage, it appears Harris and Alvarado are in something of a closer committee at the moment.

Collects 13th save Harris recorded a save Sunday against the Astros, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

Impact Harris entered the ninth inning with a one-run lead and retired Houston in order, including a pair of strikeouts, to secure his 13th save of the campaign. The left-hander has racked up five saves and 13 strikeouts over his last 10 innings, though he's also blown two save opportunities and allowed eight runs (seven earned) during that span. Harris now owns a 3.65 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 75:35 K:BB across 56.2 innings this season.

Impact Harris was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the eighth inning and secure a four-out save, but he departed after allowing a game-tying single in the ninth. Elvis Alvarado replaced him and surrendered a walk-off single, with the run and loss charged to the 29-year-old Harris. It's been a rocky August for the southpaw, who's blown two of five save chances and yielded five earned runs through seven games this month. On the year, he owns 12 saves and 10 holds to go along with a 3.79 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 72:35 K:BB across 54.2 innings.

Locks down 12th save Harris struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

Impact Harris looks to be pulling away with the closer job for the Athletics -- he's earned six saves since the All-Star break alone, while no one else on the team has more than four all year. It hasn't all been smooth lately, though this was his third scoreless outing in a row following a stretch in which he gave up five runs over 4.1 frames. Overall, Harris is at a 3.50 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 72:34 K:BB through 54 innings, and he has 12 saves in 17 chances and 10 holds to his name.

Secures 11th save Harris earned the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Red Sox, allowing one hit and one walk with one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact Harris was summoned after the Athletics took a one-run lead in the top of the ninth inning and stranded two baserunners to close the door. It marked back-to-back successful save chances for the 29-year-old, though he's yielded runs in three of his past five appearances. On the year, he owns a 3.63 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 70:34 K:BB across 52 innings to go along with 10 holds and 11 saves.

AUGUST 9 • Associated Press

Collects save No. 10 Harris gave up a run on three hits and a walk over 1.1 innings Saturday to record his 10th save of the season in a 7-3 win over the Red Sox. He struck out two.

Impact The southpaw got the final out of the eighth inning with the tying run on deck and the A's ahead 6-2 to qualify for a save chance, but Harris created his own jam in the ninth and escaped a bases-loaded, two-out situation by getting Eli White to line out to center field. Harris has been tagged for at least one run in three of his last four appearances, inflating his ERA from 3.09 to 3.71, but his hold on the closer job appears fairly secure -- no other A's reliever has picked up a save since Mason Barnett on June 25.

Red Sox bid for 2nd win streak of 10 or more games ends in 7-3 loss to Athletics

AUGUST 8 • Associated Press

Can't find plate in blown save Harris (3-1) blew the save and took the loss Tuesday, giving up two runs on three walks in two-thirds of an innings as the A's fell 5-4 to the Reds. He struck out one.

Impact Taking the mound for the eighth inning to preserve a 4-3 lead, Harris instead walked the first two batters he faced, then brought both home with two outs on a pair of wild pitches. It's the second time in his last three appearances that Harris has been tagged for multiple runs, while the blown save was his first since June 21 -- although had he gotten through the eighth, another reliever might have gotten the call in the ninth. The southpaw's nine saves leads the A's in 2026, but he's also got five blown saves on his ledger, and his job security as closer should be viewed as very low.
