GAME LOG
Dany Jiménez - Dominant in return to action Jimenez, just activated from the injured list Tuesday, fired a perfect eighth inning during which he struck out the side in a win over the Angels on Thursday, earning his third hol...
Impact The right-hander couldn't have asked for a better return to action, firing 10 of his 14 pitches for strikes in his first appearance since June 18. Jimenez extended his scoreless streak to four appearances with Thursday's blanking, which pushed his ERA and WHIP down to 4.21 and 1.21, respectively.
AUGUST 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Allen - Productive at plate in win Allen went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run in a win over the Angels on Thursday.
Impact The young shortstop has hit safely in five of his last eight starts, although he's still carrying just a .197/.261/.276 slash line for the season. Allen does have three doubles over the former span, and seven of his first eight extra-base hits at the big-league level have been two-baggers.
AUGUST 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sean Murphy - Drives in two more Thursday Murphy went 1-for-5 with a two-run double and a run in a win over the Angels on Thursday.
Impact Murphy collected his sixth and seventh RBI over the last five games -- including his fifth in the last two -- with his third-inning two-bagger. The backstop did strike out in three other plate appearances, but he's been an asset for the Athletics and fantasy managers since the All-Star break with a .279/.380/.651 slash line, four doubles, four home runs, 11 RBI, seven walks and nine runs across the last 12 games.
AUGUST 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Seth Brown - On base five times in win Brown went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run, three walks and a stolen base in a win over the Angels on Thursday.
Impact Brown was as much of a one-man wrecking crew as his final line implies, ensuring a nightmarish experience for the Angels pitching staff with his perfect performance at the plate. The hot-hitting 30-year-old has been on an absolute tear offensively since the All-Star break, posting a .400 average, 1.446 OPS, two doubles, six home runs and eight RBI across 40 plate appearances over 11 second-half games.
AUGUST 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jorge Juan - Ready to join High-A High-A Lansing activated Juan (elbow) from the 7-day injured list Thursday.
Impact Juan looks like he's ready to make his 2022 debut at the High-A level after he recently made two rehab starts in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. The 23-year-old right-hander has been sidelined all season with a right elbow strain.
AUGUST 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ramón Laureano - Drives in four Laureano went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, four RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Angels.
Impact Laureano powered a big offensive performance from the Athletics, first knocking a two-RBI double in the third inning. He then smoked a two-run homer in the fourth frame -- his 12th long ball of the campaign. Laureano has picked it up at the plate across his last five starts, collecting six hits across 18 at-bats while homering twice, driving in five and scoring five runs. For the season, he owns a .227/.310/.415 line across 310 plate appearances.
AUGUST 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Paul Blackburn - Serves up four homers Blackburn (7-6) allowed four earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out three across five innings to earn the win Thursday against the Angels.
Impact Blackburn allowed a home run in each of the first four innings, yet he still managed to earn his seventh win of the season. He has had a significant problem with the long ball across his last eight starts, serving up 12 homers in only 39.2 innings. Unsurprisingly, he has an 8.04 ERA in that span. Overall, Blackburn has a 4.28 ERA with an 89:30 K:BB across 111.1 frames on the season.
AUGUST 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
A.J. Puk - Tallies third save Puk recorded the final out of Thursday's win against the Angels to earn the save.
Impact Puk relieved Zach Jackson -- who allowed the tying run to reach base -- to earn his third save of the season. He has been in a near-even split for save chances with Jackson since the All-Star break, and the closer role will likely remain up for grabs after Lou Trivino was dealt at the trade deadline. Puk has made the most of his chances, turning in 12 consecutive appearances without allowing an earned run and has tallied all three of his saves on the season since July 22. For the season, Puk owns a 2.01 ERA and a 45:11 K:BB across 44.2 frames.

Angels tie MLB record with 7 solo HRs but lose to Athletics

The Los Angeles Angels tied a major league record with seven solo home runs, including two by Shohei Ohtani, but still lost to the Oakland Athletics 8-7
AUGUST 4, 2022 • Associated Press
Skye Bolt - Absent from Thursday's lineup Bolt isn't starting Thursday against the Angels.
Impact Bolt went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts during Wednesday's win over the Angels but will head to the bench for the third time in the last four games. Ramon Laureano is starting in center field while Stephen Piscotty takes over in right.
AUGUST 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Elvis Andrus - Retreats to bench Andrus isn't starting Thursday against the Angels.
Impact Andrus is getting a day off after he went 3-for-12 with a double and three strikeouts over the last three games. Nick Allen will shift to shortstop while Jonah Bride starts at second base.
AUGUST 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sean Murphy - Drives in three runs Wednesday Murphy went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in a 3-1 win against the Angels on Wednesday.
Impact Murphy was responsible for all of the A's runs in the win, knocking an RBI single off Shohei Ohtani in the fourth inning and swatting a two-run homer off the All-Star pitcher in the sixth. It was the second straight two-hit game for the catcher following a 1-for-14 stretch over his previous four contests. Murphy has gone deep 13 times this year and is on pace to surpass the career-high 17 long balls he slugged last season.
AUGUST 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Zach Jackson - Earns third save Jackson recorded a save Wednesday against the Angels, tossing a perfect frame during which he struck out two batters.
Impact Jackson protected a two-run, ninth-inning lead with ease, notching a pair of punchouts and retiring all three batters he faced on 14 pitches. It was a strong bounce-back performance after the right-hander took a loss against the White Sox his last time out. With Lou Trivino now a Yankee, Jackson could be Oakland's closer of choice -- A.J. Puk, who is also in competition for the role, worked the seventh inning and picked up his 14th hold in the contest.
AUGUST 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
James Kaprielian - Allows one run in victory Kaprielian (3-5) earned the win over the Angels on Wednesday, pitching 5.1 innings and allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out four batters.
Impact Kaprielian fired 55 of 83 pitches for strikes and didn't give up a run until the fifth frame. The right-hander picked up his second straight win, and he has given up just one run in each of those outings. Kaprielian has been on a roll since the start of July, posting a 1.89 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 21:11 K:BB over 33.1 innings across six starts.

Stephen Piscotty - Out of Wednesday's lineup Piscotty is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Angels, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Piscotty started eight of the last nine games and will step out of the starting nine after posting a .900 OPS with two doubles, three homers, six RBI and five runs during that stretch. Jed Lowrie will bat sixth as the designated hitter Wednesday.
AUGUST 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Allen - Steps out of lineup Allen is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

AUGUST 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jed Lowrie - Singles in return from IL Lowrie (shoulder), activated from the injured list earlier in the day, served as the designated hitter and went 1-for-4 in a loss to the Angels on Tuesday.
Impact Lowrie was logging his first game action since June 26, and it was naturally a nice plus that he was able to not only suit up, but hit safely right out of the gate. However, Lowrie's .187 average and .522 OPS, as well as his middling 85.8 mph exit velocity and career-low 17.8 percent line-drive rate, all support the notion that he's likely lost some bat speed and power in his age-38 season.
AUGUST 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sean Murphy - On base thrice in loss Murphy went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a double and a walk in a loss to the Angels on Tuesday.
Impact Murphy drove in the only run of the night for the Athletics in the fifth inning with a single that plated Jonah Bride. The 27-year-old's two-bagger was his fifth extra-base hit over the last seven games, a span during which he's hitting just .250 but owns a 1.004 OPS.
