Nick Allen

OAK Shortstop #10

Nick Allen is out of the A’s lineup for an eighth straight game Friday against the Tigers.

Allen very much earned another chance with the A’s by hitting .345/.431/.397 in 81 games in Triple-A, but it’s incredible that the team decided to give it to him one day after activating Jacob Wilson from the injured list. Allen went 1-for-4 in his second day back in the majors on Aug. 29, and he’s totaled one at-bat since. Max Schuemann has been slumping badly for over a month now (.137/.239/.177 in his last 34 games), so maybe Allen could start over him every once in a while.
Brent Rooker

OAK Left Fielder #25

Brent Rooker homered twice and drove in three runs in a loss to the Mariners on Thursday.

Rooker hit a solo homer off Bryan Woo, and a two-run shot off Andres Munoz. It’s been a spectacular season for the 29-year-old; one where he’s driven in 97 runs, homered 35 times and slashed .298/.372/.587.
Joey Estes

OAK Starting Pitcher #68

Joey Estes gave up four runs in as many innings in a loss Thursday to the Mariners.

Estes gave up a two-run homer in the first to Cal Raleigh, and a long solo blast to Julio Rodriguez in the third. Minus those two plays the right-hander was ok, but those two plays pretty much guaranteed a mediocre outing for the 22-year-old. He allowed six hits and struck out three. Estes would be a very risky starting option for Wednesday against the Astros.
Brady Basso

OAK Relief Pitcher #66

Athletics recalled LHP Brady Basso from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Basso rejoins Oakland’s bullpen ahead of Thursday’s contest against the Mariners in place of Janson Junk. The 26-year-old rookie southpaw has made three relief appearances this season at the highest level.
Janson Junk

OAK Relief Pitcher #60

Athletics designated RHP Janson Junk for assignment.

Junk wound up making one relief appearance for Oakland, allowing a staggering seven runs on six hits and a pair of walks while failing to record an out. There’s a chance another organization is willing to scoop him up off waivers as extra pitching depth.
Brent Rooker

OAK Left Fielder #25

Brent Rooker went 2-for-3 with one RBI and a run scored against the Mariners on Wednesday.

Rooker knocked a base hit to score Lawrence Butler from second to put the A’s on the board in the first inning. He later knocked another single in the sixth and scored on a double by JJ Bleday. He was one of the only bright spots in the blowout loss to the Mariners. The 29-year-old slugger is slashing .297/.372/.576 with 33 homers, 71 runs scored, and 94 RBI across 514 plate appearances.
JP Sears

OAK Starting Pitcher #38

JP Sears allowed five runs with five strikeouts over six innings in a loss to the Mariners on Wednesday.

Sears hit a batter and issued a walk to put two runners on in the second inning before Mitch Garver doubled to bring both runners in to score. Seattle brought three more runs in to score on four hits in the fourth. Sears gave the A’s two more innings of work before exiting after six. The 28-year-old left-hander will take a 4.34 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and a 122/41 K/BB ratio across 157 2/3 innings into a start against the Astros in Houston on Tuesday.
Scott Alexander

OAK Relief Pitcher #54

Athletics activated LHP Scott Alexander from the 15-day injured list.

Alexander missed barely more than the minimum with rotator cuff tendinitis. The lefty has a 2.51 ERA in 28 2/3 innings out of Oakland’s bullpen this year.
Joe Boyle

OAK Starting Pitcher #35

Athletics optioned RHP Joe Boyle to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Two poor starts out of three got Boyle sent to the pen last week, and he walked three and gave up three runs in one-third of an inning in his first relief appearance, leading to his demotion to Triple-A today. He remains one of the organization’s most intriguing arms, but it hasn’t happened for him this year. He has a 7.12 ERA and a 49/36 K/BB in 43 innings in the majors.
Esteury Ruiz

OAK Center Fielder #1

Athletics transferred OF Esteury Ruiz from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list with a strained left wrist.

Ruiz is done for the year after a setback with his wrist in July. He wound up playing in just 29 games for the A’s, hitting .200/.270/.382. He hit .345/.425/.569 in 16 minor league games. The A’s figure to keep him on the 40-man this winter, but he will probably have to go back to Triple-A and attempt to work his way into the team’s plans next year.
