Zack Gelof - Extends hitting streak to 24 games Gelof went 2-for-5 with a double and three runs scored in Sunday's 9-7 loss to the Angels.

Impact After being held out of the lineup Saturday, Gelof returned Sunday and came around to score a season-high three times in the high-scoring affair. The infielder wasted little time extending his hitting streak to 24 games, lacing a single in the first inning. Per Theo DeRosa of MLB.com, the 26-year-old became just the fourth Athletics player since 1961 to record a hitting streak of at least 24 games. Since the streak began May 25, Gelof is slashing .351/.402/.585 with five homers, seven doubles, 12 RBI, 19 runs and two stolen bases.

Shohei Ohtani has been brilliant on the mound this year, but he's still a long shot for the Cy Young

Shohei Ohtani has won four MVPs, and now he’s making an impressive bid for an honor that has thus far eluded the two-way star: the Cy Young Award

Henry Bolte - Logs eighth steal Bolte went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 9-7 loss to the Angels.

Impact Bolte has logged three steals on four attempts over his last six games. He's just 5-for-19 (.263) at the plate in that span, though he's added a respectable 5:8 BB:K. For the season, the outfielder is batting .315 with an .814 OPS, eight steals, two home runs, 10 RBI, 11 runs scored and five doubles over 36 contests.

Nick Kurtz - Swats 19th homer Kurtz went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI, a walk and two total runs scored in Sunday's 9-7 loss to the Angels.

Impact Kurtz had looked a little human, going just 4-for-19 (.211) with a 4:12 BB:K over the previous five games. He got back to his power-hitting ways in this contest, lifting a seventh-inning homer that ended up being the Athletics' last scoring play of the game. The first baseman is up to 19 homers, 61 RBI, 56 runs scored, seven stolen bases, 15 doubles and a triple while batting .290 with a .995 OPS through 77 games this year.

Jack Perkins - Strikes out eight in no-decision Perkins allowed four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out eight over five innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Sunday.

Impact Perkins has allowed 15 runs over 18 innings across four starts in June, giving up a total of five home runs. The eight strikeouts were a season high, but not enough to overcome his inability to prevent runs. He's now at a 6.26 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 57:16 K:BB through 46 innings over 21 outings (four starts) this season. Unless the Athletics dip into their pitching depth at Triple-A Las Vegas, Perkins looks set to remain in the rotation for the foreseeable future. He's tentatively lined up to make his next start on the road in a rematch with the Angels.

Carlos Cortes - Idle against southpaw Cortes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Impact Cortes is stuck in a 2-for-29 slump at the plate over his last 10 games, and since the left-handed hitter likely would have struggled to get back on track Sunday versus Angels southpaw Reid Demters, the Athletics have elected to keep him on the bench for a second straight game. Joey Meneses will step in for Cortes as the Athletics' designated hitter in the series finale.

Lawrence Butler - Heading to bench vs. lefty Butler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Impact After starting in six of the Athletics' previous seven games, the left-handed-hitting Butler will head to the bench while the Angels send southpaw Reid Detmers to the bump Sunday. Colby Thomas will replace Butler in right field and will bat seventh.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jeff McNeil - Sitting against lefty McNeil is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Impact The left-handed-hitting McNeil will retreat to the bench for the series finale while the Athletics face off against Angels lefty Reid Detmers. McNeil had started in each of the Athletics' previous seven games, going 5-for-18 (.278 average) with one home run, one double, two walks, four RBI and four runs.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Luis Severino - Shifts to 60-day IL The Athletics transferred Severino (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

Impact The right-hander landed on the injured list in late May due to a shoulder strain and was scheduled to be evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks, so he already seemed likely to spend more than 60 days on the shelf. Now three weeks into his recovery, Severino could be re-evaluated within the next week or two, at which point a target date for his return could begin to come into focus.

Zack Gelof - Leading off in return Gelof will start at second base and bat leadoff Sunday against the Angels in his return to the lineup after sitting out Saturday's 7-0 loss due to general soreness, MLB.com reports...

Impact Though the Athletics didn't specifically indicate that Gelof's absence Saturday was related to being hit in the head by a pitch a night earlier, he may have been held out of the lineup for precautionary reasons. He feels well enough to return to the starting nine Sunday as the Athletics' leadoff man, marking his third consecutive appearance atop the batting order.

Matt Krook - Gets call to big leagues The Athletics selected Krook's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

Impact The left-hander re-signed with the A's on a minor-league deal in November and failed to make the Opening Day roster, but he'll now get a chance in the majors after posting a 3.72 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 42:16 K:BB across 29 relief innings for Las Vegas. Krook has eight big-league appearances under his belt and has struggled in that limited sample size, giving up 15 earned runs with an 8:8 K:BB.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Alika Williams - Sent to Triple-A The Athletics optioned Williams to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

Impact Williams has been productive through 14 games in June with six extra-base hits and a .343/.378/.571 slash line, but he'll be the odd man out for a roster spot. Joey Meneses was added to the big-league roster Sunday and is starting at designated hitter in the series finale versus the Angels.
