Elvis Andrus - Swipes ninth bag Andrus went 1-for-3 with a single, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Mariners on Thursday.
Impact The veteran shortstop was back at the bottom of the order but still turned in a reasonably productive night. Andrus has notably cooled off over the last five games after an extended hot stretch, going just 2-for-19 with one RBI and six strikeouts in that span.

Sean Murphy - Slugs RBI double Murphy went 2-for-5 with an RBI double in a win over the Mariners on Thursday.
Impact Murphy extended the Athletics' narrow lead to 2-0 with his sixth-inning two-bagger, snapping a brief 0-for-11 skid in the process. The struggling backstop owns just a .217 average and .303 on-base percentage, but he's cobbled together a respectable .416 slugging percentage thanks to lacing exactly half of his 58 hits for extra bases (17 doubles, 12 home runs), which has helped lead to a solid 45 RBI.

Mitch Moreland - On base thrice in win Moreland went 1-for-3 with a double, two walks and a run in a win over the Mariners on Thursday.
Impact Moreland extended his on-base streak to five games with Thursday's effort, one which finally pushed his season OBP over the .300 mark (.303). The veteran has been solid at the plate since shortly before an early July injured-list stint, hitting .308 (8-for-26) with four doubles, two home runs, four RBI, five walks and three runs across his last 11 games dating back to June 26.

Mark Canha - On base four times in win Canha went 2-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and two walks in a win over the Mariners on Thursday.
Impact The veteran produced a prototypical leadoff effort, pushing his season on-base percentage to an elite .383 in the process. Canha has hit safely in all five games since his return from a stint on the injured list with a hip strain/tendinitis, and Thursday's steal gives him a career-high eight swipes on the campaign.

Lou Trivino - Records another save Trivino picked up the save Thursday against the Mariners after tossing a scoreless ninth inning, giving up one hit and striking out one.
Impact Trivino has come away with the save in each of his last nine chances and recorded his sixth scoreless outing (over seven appearances) in the current month. The right-hander, who has gone 16-for-18 in save opportunities this season, has settled himself as one of the best late-inning relievers in the American League and currently sports a career-best 1.91 ERA with a 1.15 WHIP through 47 innings (44 appearances) on the season.

Sean Manaea - Fans season-high 13 Manaea (7-6) earned the win Thursday against the Mariners after allowing one run on three hits and three walks while fanning 13 across seven innings.
Impact The 13 strikeouts represented a season-high for Manaea, and it was also the third time this season in which he struck out at least 10 batters. The left-hander has fanned at least six in six straight outings, a span in which he has posted three quality starts and where he owns a 3.57 ERA through 35.1 innings. His next start is scheduled for next week on the road against the Padres.

Ramón Laureano - Plates two runs Thursday Laureano went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Thursday's win over the Mariners.
Impact Laureano extended his hitting streak to four games and has been quite a threat at the dish in that stretch, recording six RBI and posting two straight multi-hit contests. The outfielder is only hitting .227 with a .605 OPS this month, but he seems to be trending in the right direction over the last couple of games.

Sam Moll - Solid over first two appearances Moll has fired two scoreless innings over his first two appearances with the Athletics since being called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on July 3.
Impact The 29-year-old has given up one hit and two walks over that span without recording any strikeouts, but Moll's second big-league stint has certainly started better than his initial one with Oakland back in 2017, when he pitched to a 10.80 ERA and 2.40 WHIP across 6.2 innings. Moll is likely to remain in low-leverage scenarios for the time being.

Ramón Laureano - Stays hot in win Laureano went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in a win over the Angels on Tuesday.
Impact A day after slugging a three-run home run, Laureano continued to put good wood on the ball in Oakland's shutout win. After going 0-for-9 over the first two games of the second half, Laureano has gone 4-for-11 with two doubles, a home run and four RBI across the subsequent three contests.

Impact Olson got the scoring started by taking Jose Suarez deep with a 353-foot shot in the fourth inning. It was his second long ball in as many games and his team-leading 25th of the year. The 27-year-old has now collected at least one hit in 11 of his last 13 games, raising his season slash line to .291/.379/.588.

James Kaprielian - Blanks Angels through six Kaprielian (5-3) earned the win Tuesday after holding the Angels scoreless across six frames. He allowed five hits and a pair of walks while striking out seven.
Impact It was just the third time this season that Kaprielian blanked his opponent. The 27-year-old has now tossed at least five innings for his eighth straight start. To top it off, he hasn't surrendered more than three earned runs in an outing during that stretch. Thanks to his recent success, the right-hander has compiled a 2.65 ERA and 1.12 WHIP across 68 innings this season.
