Aaron Civale - Activated ahead of start The Athletics reinstated Civale (shoulder) from the injured list ahead of his start Wednesday against the Pirates.
Impact Civale was brilliant during his rehab outing at Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday, striking out seven batters without allowing a man to reach base in 4.1 innings. He now has the green light to rejoin the Athletics' rotation, though he will be making his return against a Pirates offense that's posted a .764 OPS since the beginning of June. The 31-year-old righty is also likely to have his workload limited Wednesday after tossing just 56 pitches during his appearance in the minors. Luis Morales was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Luis Morales - Demoted to Triple-A The Athletics optioned Morales to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.
Impact Morales will head back to Triple-A after just being recalled to join the big-league club on Monday. The 23-year-old made no appearances in his brief two-day stint in the majors. The Athletics activated Aaron Civale (shoulder) from the injured list as he will replace Morales on the active roster.

Carlos Cortes - Resting up Wednesday Cortes isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
Impact Cortes will get a chance to regroup Wednesday after going 0-for-8 with five strikeouts across the first two games of the series. While he sits, Lawrence Butler will start in right field and Shea Langeliers will serve as the DH, putting Jonah Heim behind the plate.
