Called up, starting Thursday The Athletics recalled Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday. He'll start the Athletics' series finale in Tampa Bay.

Impact Harris is back up with the Athletics for the third time this season, but he'll be starting for the first time after his prior two appearances with Oakland came in long relief. The southpaw has been a full-time member of the rotation at Las Vegas for most of this season, logging a 7.67 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 29:24 K:BB over 29.1 innings in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. Harris' numbers over parts of two seasons in the majors (6.78 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 64:31 K:BB in 71.2 innings) aren't much better, so he won't make for a dependable streaming option Thursday.

Recalled by Oakland The Athletics recalled Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Impact The move corresponds with Oakland placing right-hander Joe Boyle (back) on the 15-day IL. Harris has a 1-1 record over six starts in Triple-A this season with a 9.00 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and 21:20 K:BB over 21 innings with Las Vegas. He appeared in 14 games with the Athletics last season, finishing with a 3-6 record while posting a 7.14 ERA and 1.51 WHIP over 63 frames.

Optioned to Triple-A Harris was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

Impact Harris has appeared in two games with the Athletics this spring, pitching four scoreless innings, allowing one hit and walking two while striking out six batters. The 27-year-old will look to impress in Las Vegas in order to earn a shot with Oakland's major-league roster down the road.

Optioned to Triple-A Harris was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Impact Harris picked up a victory as a bulk reliever on Tuesday against the Royals but finds himself back in the minors a day later. He's being replaced with a fresh relief arm.

AUGUST 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Wins as bulk reliever Harris (3-6) earned the win Tuesday versus the Royals, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over 3.2 innings.

Impact Harris wasn't sharp, throwing 54 of 86 pitches for strikes in the bulk-relief outing, but he was able to keep Oakland ahead after they took the lead in the second inning. It's an improvement on the eight runs in three innings he gave up Aug. 2 versus the Dodgers in his previous major-league outing. Harris has an uninspiring 6.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 56:28 K:BB over 63 innings through 14 appearances (six starts) in the majors this year. With Luis Medina (finger) on the injured list, Harris could stick as part of the rotation even if he continues to work behind an opener. Harris is tentatively lined up for a favorable road outing versus the White Sox over the weekend.

Impact Oakland optioned right-handed reliever Tayler Scott to Las Vegas to make room on the active roster for Harris, who returns to the big club after a three-week stay in the minors. Harris was demoted to Triple-A after posting a 10.29 ERA and 1.90 WHIP in his final five outings with Oakland, and he didn't show any major improvements during his time in Las Vegas. He was lit up for 14 earned runs on 14 hits and seven walks over six innings in his last two starts at Triple-A, inspiring little confidence about his prospects for Tuesday. Jimenez will likely work no more than one or two innings before turning the game over to Harris.

Could join Oakland rotation Harris could join Oakland's rotation this week, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Outside of a few brief stretches Harris has had little success at both the big-league and Triple-A levels this season, but the A's are running out of starters and could add him to the major-league roster at some point in the days ahead.

AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to Triple-A Oakland optioned Harris to Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday.

Impact Harris was lit up for eight earned runs over three innings in a brutal start Wednesday night against the Dodgers. The 26-year-old left-hander has posted a 6.98 ERA across his first 59.1 major-league innings this season.

AUGUST 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hit hard early Harris (2-6) allowed eight runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out two over three innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Dodgers.

Impact Harris one of his worst outings of the year, giving up a season-high three home runs in the rough start. He's lost six of his last eight appearances, and with the Athletics among the worst teams in the majors, he can't rely on much support from his offense even when he's on his game. Harris is now at a 6.98 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 51:26 K:BB through 59.1 innings this season. He's tentatively lined up for another challenging start at home versus the Rangers next week.

AUGUST 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes loss as bulk reliever Harris (2-5) allowed two runs on two hits and a walk while striking out three over 3.1 innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Giants.

Impact Harris followed opener Freddy Tarnok, who gave up three runs over 2.2 innings. Oakland briefly tied the game while Harris was on the mound, but he surrendered a two-run home run to Austin Slater in the sixth inning. Harris has taken the loss in five of his last seven outings, though this was the shortest one in that span. He's at a 6.07 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 49:23 K:BB through 56.1 innings over 12 appearances (five starts) this season. The southpaw is tentatively lined up for a challenging road matchup against the Dodgers next week.

Slated for bulk relief duty Harris is in line for bulk relief duty Wednesday in San Francisco, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Impact Harris' appearances this season have been split evenly between starting an bulk relief work. He will be following Freddy Tarnok, who is pretty stretched out himself.

JULY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tosses quality start but takes loss Harris (2-4) took the loss against Houston on Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks while striking out six batters over six innings.

Impact Though he was tagged with the loss, this was one of Harris' better outings on the season, as he recorded his third quality start and tied his second-best tally with six punchouts. The southpaw had been in a funk over his previous four contests coming into Thursday, posting a 9.64 ERA and 2.20 WHIP across 18.2 frames. Harris has flashed some promise at times during his rookie campaign, but his overall 6.11 ERA and lack of consistency are evidence that he's not yet a reliable arm for fantasy purposes.

JULY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in bulk relief Harris allowed five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five over four innings Saturday against the Twins.

Impact Harris took over in the second frame for opener Austin Pruitt, who gave up a pair of runs in his lone inning of work. Harris didn't fare much better, serving up five runs, including a two-run homer to Michael Taylor, over four innings. The southpaw has now given up four or more runs and walked at least three batters in each of his last four appearances. However, Hogan had allowed only eight runs in his last 28 innings prior to the poor four outings.

JULY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set to work behind opener Harris is expected to serve as the Athletics' primary pitcher out of the bullpen Saturday against the Twins with Austin Pruitt drawing the starting assignment.

Impact Pruitt hasn't covered more than three innings in any of his appearances in the majors or minors this season, so Oakland likely won't ask him to work more than once through the batting order before turning the game over to Harris. Though Harris had been one of Oakland's more reliable starters since joining the rotation in late May, he labored in his final three outings before the All-Star break (9.20 ERA, 2.18 WHIP and 14:10 K:BB in 14.2 innings). The Athletics are hoping that deploying Harris behind an opener will enable to team to coax better results from the rookie southpaw.

JULY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lit up for seven runs Harris (2-3) took the loss Thursday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and four walks over 4.2 innings against the Tigers. He struck out six.

Impact After giving up two runs in the first inning, Harris struck out the side in the second and appeared to be finding his groove. However, he continued to get himself into trouble, allowing the leadoff man to reach base in each of the next three innings while surrendering a season-high seven earned runs. The left-hander has now allowed at least four runs in each of his last three starts and has lost his last three decisions (spanning four starts).

JULY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Falls to New York Harris (2-2) took the loss Thursday, allowing five runs on nine hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Yankees. He struck out two.

Impact Harris pitched fairly well through five innings, holding the Yankees to two runs, before surrendering three in the sixth inning while recording just one out. Harris has now allowed eight earned runs through 10 innings over his last two starts after pitching to a 2.57 ERA in his previous five outings. Overall, the 26-year-old southpaw has a 5.17 ERA with a 1.25 WHIP and 29:15 K:BB through 38.1 innings.

Starting Thursday's game Harris will start for the Athletics on Thursday against the Yankees, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact The A's had held off naming a starter until now, but Harris always made the most sense. The rookie left-hander struggled his last time out, but that rough outing had been preceded by a 2.57 ERA across his last 28 innings. This will only be Harris' third traditional start, but he's also had several bulk relief appearances.

JUNE 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hit hard by Jays Harris didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays, surrendering four runs on five hits and four walks over 4.2 innings of relief. He struck out six.

Impact The lefty's strikeouts gave him a bit of a fantasy floor and he avoided getting stuck with the loss, but only because opener Shintaro Fujinami had already put the A's in a hole they couldn't escape before Harris set foot on the mound. The 26-year-old has held down a regular spot in the rotation in June, either as a traditional starter or bulk reliever, and the results have been mixed -- he has a 3.90 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 22:7 K:BB through 27.2 innings over five appearances. but all seven of those free passes came in two outings, making him a volatile option as a fantasy streamer. His next turn in the rotation lines up to come at home next weekend against the White Sox.

Following opener Harris will follow an opener into Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Shintaro Fujinami will work as the opener but will likely only throw one inning. Harris has covered at least five frames in each of his last five appearances and has maintained a 2.57 ERA and 0.79 WHIP with a 21:4 K:BB across 28 innings in that stretch.

Pitches well in loss Harris (2-1) allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out seven over six innings, but he took the loss Sunday versus the Phillies.

Impact Harris got off to a rough start when Kyle Schwarber tagged him for a solo home run in the first inning. Schwarber added an RBI single in the fifth for the other run on Harris' line, but the Athletics' offense couldn't get him off the hook. This was Harris' second good outing in a row -- his last was a seven-inning effort behind an opener, so Sunday marked his first quality start. The 26-year-old owns a 4.45 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB through 28.1 innings this season, and he's given up just two homers. He's projected for a road start in Toronto for his next outing.

JUNE 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strong work Tuesday Harris (2-0) allowed a run on four hits and struck out two over seven innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Rays.

Impact Harris was deployed behind opener Shintaro Fujinami, who pitched a scoreless first inning. Despite the bulk-relief assignment, Harris put in an excellent performance, throwing 63 of 84 pitches for strikes. He became the pitcher of record when Oakland pulled ahead in the eighth inning, and Trevor May converted the save in a 2-1 game. This was the longest outing of Harris' career, and it was also one of his best, though the lack of strikeouts is a little concerning. He has a 4.84 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB over 22.1 innings through five outings this season. Harris may continue to work behind an opener in his next appearance, which is tentatively scheduled for a home game versus the Phillies this weekend.
