Jacob Wilson

ATH Shortstop #5

14hJacob Wilson went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI as the Athletics triumphed over the Orioles 5-1 on Sunday afternoon in West Sacramento.

The 23-year-old shortstop delivered a run-scoring single off of Tomoyuki Sugano in the second inning that extended the A’s early lead to 4-1. He then led off the fifth inning with a double but the Athletics were unable to cash him in. He has been outstanding so far this season, slashing a blistering .372/.408/.528 with eight homers, 38 RBI and five stolen bases in what has been a breakout first half of the season.

Max Muncy

ATH Shortstop #10

14hMax Muncy went 1-for-4 and swatted a solo home run on Sunday afternoon as the Athletics defeated the Orioles.

Muncy capped off the scoring in the ballgame with a 431-foot (104.7 mph EV) solo shot off of Bryan Baker in the eighth inning. That was his only hit in four at-bats on the afternoon. For the season, the 22-year-old rookie infielder is slashing a disappointing .188/.216/.341 with three homers and eight RBI in his first 88 plate appearances with the A’s.

Jacob Lopez

ATH Relief Pitcher #57

14hJacob Lopez pitched well in a no-decision against the Orioles on Sunday afternoon, allowing just one unearned run on four hits over four innings.

The 27-year-old left-hander racked up five strikeouts on the afternoon while issuing a pair of free passes. The only run that the Orioles scored in the contest came on a pickoff error in the second inning. Lopez needed 91 pitches to get through four innings though, which caused the A’s to go to their bullpen in the fifth inning and cost Lopez a shot at a victory. He got 13 swings and misses on the afternoon — seven of those on his slider — while posting a CSW of 32 percent. Lopez now sports a 6.00 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and a 31/12 K/BB ratio over 24 innings on the season. He’ll do battle against the Royals his next time out in Kansas City on Saturday.

Drew Avans

MIL Center Fielder #35

20hBrewers claimed OF Drew Avans off waivers from the Athletics.

Avans will head to Triple-A Nashville as extra organizational depth for Milwaukee. The unheralded 28-year-old outfielder went 2-for-15 with one stolen base in seven games for the Athletics in his first taste of the majors.

Denzel Clarke

ATH Center Fielder #1

21hDenzel Clarke (shoulder) is back in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Orioles.

It’s astonishing that Clarke is back in the lineup after missing only one contest with a left shoulder contusion. It didn’t look good when he slammed full-speed into the left-center field wall during Friday’s showdown, but the 25-year-old rookie sensation somehow managed to avoid serious injury. He’s back in center field and batting ninth during Sunday’s series finale at Sutter Health Park.

Austin Wynns

ATH Catcher #38

22hAthletics acquired C Austin Wynns from the Reds for cash considerations.

Wynns helps shore up the Athletics’ glaring hole at catcher after losing starter Shea Langeliers to an oblique strain earlier this week. The 34-year-old journeyman has been swinging a hot bat this season, hitting .400 (16-for-40) with three homers and 11 RBI across 18 games this season in the big leagues. He’s a non-factor for fantasy purposes, but should get a chance to play regularly while Langeliers is on the shelf.

Carlos Duran

ATH Relief Pitcher #39

22hAthletics designated RHP Carlos Duran for assignment.

Duran has been booted from the Athletics’ 40-man roster to make room for journeyman catcher Austin Wynns. The 23-year-old righty made his major-league debut back on May 22 before being shipped back to the minors. He was acquired from the Dodgers in the Esteury Ruiz trade back in early April.

Nick Kurtz

ATH 1st Baseman #16

1dNick Kurtz (hip) went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and three RBI on Saturday in a minor league rehab game for Low-A Stockton.

The bat looks fine. Kurtz walloped a colossal homer and also added an RBI single in his first rehab contest as he makes his way back from a hip flexor strain that put him on the shelf back in late May. The 22-year-old top prospect might only need another game this weekend before he’s ready to rejoin the Athletics’ lineup. Fantasy managers should anticipate Kurtz being back in the big leagues at some point in the coming days.

Luis Severino

ATH Starting Pitcher #40

1dLuis Severino surrendered six runs — five earned — in 5 1/3 innings in a loss to the Orioles on Saturday.

Severino was handed a three-run cushion after the first inning, and while he held the O’s to only a run over his first three frames, things fell apart in the middle frames. A two-run homer by Ramón Laureano made it a 4-3 game in the fourth, and he would be charged for three more runs before leaving another disappointing start. The 31-year-old is now 1-6 on the season, and it’s a deserved 1-6 with an ERA of 4.77 in his first year with the A’s. Severino will try and get things turned around against the Royals on Friday.

Denzel Clarke

ATH Center Fielder #1

1dDenzel Clarke (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Athletics.

Clarke has a shoulder contusion after colliding with the wall during Friday’s contest, and the A’s will give him at least one more day before he returns to the starting nine. Consider Clarke day-to-day for now.
