J.T. Ginn - Logs quality start in no-decision Ginn did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Red Sox, allowing three runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks with two strikeouts over six innings.

Impact Despite throwing just 54 of 95 pitches for strikes, Ginn battled to earn his second straight quality start since returning from the injured list Tuesday. The 27-year-old has now logged a quality start in each of his three second-half outings, posting a 1.96 ERA over 18.1 innings during that span. He'll take a 3.41 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 107:53 K:BB across 121.1 innings this season into a home matchup with the Rangers next weekend.

Hogan Harris - 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.

Taylor Rashi - Claimed by A's The Athletics claimed Rashi off waivers on Sunday.

Impact The right-hander was designated for assignment by the Twins on Friday and will now join a new organization. Rashi started the year with Arizona, where he surrendered four earned runs in three big-league appearances. He's pitched to a 2.49 ERA over 43.1 Triple-A innings this year and should report to that level for the A's.

Carlos Cortes - Idle against lefty Cortes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Cortes finds himself on the bench for a fifth consecutive game, with the Athletics having faced left-handed starters in the last four of those contests. Southpaw Erik Miller is expected to work only an inning or two in a bullpen game for the Red Sox on Sunday, so Cortes could be summoned from the bench if a righty reliever takes over for Boston.

Donovan Walton - Taking seat against southpaw Walton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Walton is on the bench for the fourth straight game, with the Athletics having faced lefty starters in each of those contests. Southpaw Erik Miller is likely to work only an inning or two as the Red Sox's opening pitcher Sunday, so Walton could be summoned from the bench as a mid-game replacement if a righty takes over for Boston.

Hogan Harris - 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.
