Carlos Cortes - Nabs first steal in loss Cortes went 1-for-3 with one RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Orioles.

Impact Cortes drove in the Athletics' lone run on a sacrifice fly in the second inning before swiping his first career bag in the seventh. The 28-year-old has cooled off a bit, going just 6-for-24 to open the month of May, but he's still slashing an outstanding .355/.408/.570 with four homers, 15 RBI and 11 runs scored across 103 plate appearances this season. He continues to sit against most southpaws despite going 5-for-8 against them in the early going.

Luis Severino - Mixed results in loss Severino (2-4) took the loss against the Orioles on Sunday, allowing two runs on six hits and four walks with four strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Impact Severino limited the damage but lacked command overall, issuing four walks while generating only seven whiffs on 102 pitches. On the bright side, the 32-year-old has now yielded just five earned runs over his past four starts while completing at least five frames in seven straight outings. He'll carry a 4.07 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 47:29 K:BB across 48.2 innings into a home matchup against the Giants next weekend.

Jacob Wilson - Suffers shoulder sprain Sunday Wilson was diagnosed with a left shoulder sprain after exiting Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Orioles, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wilson went 1-for-2 with a base hit before leaving the game midway through the fifth inning, when he hurt his shoulder while diving at a Gunnar Henderson grounder that fell in for an infield single. The Athletics are set to send Wilson in for an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of his shoulder sprain, clouding the shortstop's status ahead of the team's six-game week. Darell Hernaiz replaced Wilson at shortstop during Sunday's game and could be in line for an everyday role in the middle infield if Wilson requires a stint on the injured list.

Jacob Wilson - Exits with apparent shoulder issue Wilson was removed from Sunday's game at Baltimore due to an apparent left shoulder injury, Jason Burke of SI.com reports.

Impact Wilson sustained the injury in the bottom of the fifth inning on a dive to his left, and he was unable to finish the frame. The 24-year-old went 1-for-2 with a single prior to exiting the contest. Wilson should be considered day-to-day until the Athletics update his status.

Shea Langeliers - Plates two runs in win Langeliers went 2-for-3 with two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Saturday's victory over the Orioles.

Impact Langeliers opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first inning before driving in another run with a sacrifice fly in the fifth frame. It was another strong effort for the catcher, who currently owns a 10-game hitting streak, with seven multi-hit performances during that stretch. Overall, Langeliers has built on his breakout 2025 campaign with massive numbers through 35 appearances in 2026, slashing .340/.391/.626 with 11 homers, nine doubles, 22 RBI and 28 runs scored.

Darell Hernaiz - Ceding third base to Gelof Hernaiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Hernaiz appeared to have a clear path to regular playing time at third base after Max Muncy (hand) was placed on the injured list at late April, but Zack Gelof has since overtaken Hernaiz as the Athletics' preferred option at the hot corner. Gelof will occupy the position for a fifth straight game with Hernaiz having gotten off to a slow start to May by going 1-for-13 with a 3:4 BB:K.

Nick Kurtz - Crosses plate three times in win Kurtz went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, three runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Orioles.

Impact The 23-year-old saw his homer drought extend to 13 games, but he's hardly been unproductive during that span. Kurtz is batting .283 (15-for-53) since April 25 with four doubles, a triple, two steals, seven runs, eight RBI and a 9:16 BB:K, and his on-base streak stands at 33 contests.

Aaron Civale - Blanks O's for fourth win Civale (4-1) picked up the win Wednesday, allowing six hits and three walks over five scoreless innings in a 6-2 victory over the Orioles. He struck out six.

Impact The veteran right-hander tossed 62 of 97 pitches for strikes as he gave up one run or fewer for a third straight start, and the fifth time this season in eight trips to the mound. Civale has had an impressive beginning to his first campaign with the A's, and he'll take a 2.59 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 33:13 K:BB through 41.2 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Giants.

Jack Perkins - Settled for first hold Friday Perkins recorded his first hold of the season in Friday's 4-3 win over the Orioles, giving up one run on one hit and one walk over two-thirds of an inning. He struck out two.

Impact Entering the game in the ninth inning to protect a 4-2 lead, Perkins couldn't get the job done, tossing just 13 of 25 pitches for strikes and getting the hook with the tying run aboard. Hogan Harris picked up the final out to get the save. Perkins is the preferred closing option for A's manager Mark Kotsay, but the 26-year-old righty is still in his probationary period and has been scored upon in back-to-back appearances. On the season, Perkins sports a 4.11 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB through 15.1 innings while converting three of four save chances.
