Drew Rucinski - On track for this weekend Rucinski (hamstring) is expected to join the Athletics' rotation this weekend, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Rucinski pitched well Sunday in his final rehab start with Triple-A Las Vegas and got through a bullpen session with no issues. The A's don't have a started listed for Friday against the Reds and that would be normal rest for Rucinski, so it's possible he makes his season debut that day. Rucinski has been out since late March with a hamstring injury.

Jesús Aguilar - Grabs some pine Aguilar is absent from the Athletics' lineup for Thursday's game versus the Angels.
Impact The A's are going with Brent Rooker at designated hitter and Ryan Noda at first base against Shohei Ohtani. Aguilar had two homers in the first game of the series but was hitless in the next two contests.
APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Medina - Optioned to Triple-A Medina was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas by the Athletics on Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Medina was rocked for seven earned runs over five innings in his major-league debut versus the Angels on Wednesday. The right-hander should get another shot eventually but will rejoin the Vegas rotation for now.
APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Domingo Acevedo - Activated from injured list Acevedo was activated from the 15-day injured list by the Athletics on Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Acevedo missed a couple weeks of action with a lower-back strain. He struggled before getting injured and also during his rehab assignment, so the A's might ease him back into high-leverage spots.
APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dérmis Garcia - Outrighted to Triple-A Garcia cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Las Vegas by the Athletics on Wednesday.
Impact Garcia is no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization. The 25-year-old has an .829 OPS but a 34.3 percent strikeout rate with Vegas this season.

Rosenthal: Rob Manfred's support of A's owner is another inelegant chapter in his reign The A's move to Vegas might simply be a means to an end. But Rob Manfred's refusal to challenge it reflects poorly on the sport.

Angels bring 2-1 series advantage over Athletics into game 4

The Los Angeles Angels play the Oakland Athletics, leading the series 2-1
APRIL 27, 2023 • Associated Press
Kevin Smith - Homers in loss Smith went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored Wednesday in a loss to the Angels.
Impact The Athletics were routed in the contest, but Smith had a productive performance with his second homer and second multi-hit effort of the campaign. The infielder has started each of the first three games in the series against the Angels, going 4-for-10 with a pair of homers and four RBI.
APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Esteury Ruiz - Racks up four thefts in loss Ruiz went 2-for-3 with a run, an RBI and four stolen bases Wednesday in a loss to the Angels.
Impact Oakland fell to 5-20 with the defeat, but Ruiz provided a positive spark with his work at the plate and on the basepaths. The speedy outfielder reached three times -- twice on singles and once on a hit-by-pitch -- and made the Angels pay by swiping four bases off lefty hurler Patrick Sandoval. This was the first time any MLB player has swiped four bags in a contest since 2019, and the fruitful day pushed Ruiz's season total to nine thefts.
APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Medina - Will head back to Triple-A Medina will be optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Medina struggled heavily in his MLB debut against the Angels on Wednesday, allowing seven earned runs over five innings en route to an 11-3 loss. The 23-year-old prospect has made just three starts in Triple-A and will likely need to get more work in the minors before he can return to the major-league squad.

Ramón Laureano - Back to running Laureano (groin) ran around the bases with Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact If he doesn't experience any issues while running, the plan is for Laureano to begin a rehab assignment in Triple-A on Thursday. It's unclear how many games he will play in the minors -- that will depend on how he's feeling -- but it seems Laureano is quickly approaching activation. The 28-year-old outfielder was slashing .218/.295/.436 over 61 plate appearances before landing on the IL.
APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Paul Blackburn - Rehab start postponed again Blackburn's (finger) rehab start scheduled for Sunday was pushed back after experiencing more discomfort with his blister, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact This is now the second time Blackburn's finger blister has prevented him from making his next rehab start. He worked his way up to 62 pitches in his most recent start last Sunday, but now that he's experienced multiple setbacks, Blackburn may still be a few weeks away from his season debut.
APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Adrián Martínez - Avoids serious injury Martinez's (elbow) MRI results revealed inflammation in his right forearm Wednesday but no structural damage, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact A's manager Mark Kotsay said Martinez will still be shut down from throwing for five days, but an extended sign on the injured list appears unlikely. The 25-year-old righty holds a 6.75 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over 17.1 frames across six appearances this season.
APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jace Peterson - Out against southpaw Peterson is out of the lineup against the Angels on Wednesday.
Impact Peterson is once again taking a seat against a southpaw as he has for the majority of the 2023 campaign. Aledmys Diaz will move over to the hot corner in Peterson's absence.
APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tony Kemp - Takes seat against Angels Kemp is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
Impact Kemp has gone 2-for-7 with a pair of walks over the first two games of the series against the Angels. The 31-year-old will take a seat with Jordan Diaz starting at second base and hitting second against Patrick Sandoval and the Angels.
APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Noda - Sitting against Angels Noda is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
Impact Noda is out against southpaw Patrick Sandoval and the Angels on Wednesday. Jesus Aguilar is starting at first base with Shea Langeliers operating as the designated hitter.

Is growing Las Vegas big enough for 3 major pro teams?

Las Vegas will become the smallest TV market in Major League Baseball if the Oakland Athletics relocate there
APRIL 26, 2023 • Associated Press
Manny Piña - Raking in rehab assignment Pina (wrist) moved his rehab assignment to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday and went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in a loss to Tacoma.
Impact Pina has hit .444 overall in three rehab games and has left the yard twice, with the veteran having played his first pair of contests with Single-A Stockton. The success at the higher affiliate Tuesday is certainly encouraging, and the Athletics might only need to see another rehab game or two from Pina before deeming him fit for activation.
APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jace Peterson - Laces triple Tuesday Peterson went 1-for-4 with an RBI triple in a loss to the Angels on Tuesday.
Impact Peterson's first-inning three-bagger, his first of the season, plated Ryan Noda to give the Athletics an early lead. The veteran's three-bagger represented a brief reprieve from the 1-for-17 funk he'd gone into the contest with, but he's still sitting on a .190/.288/.302 slash line across 73 plate appearances this season.
