Athletics' Abraham Toro: Sidelined through All-Star break
Toro (hamstring) will be out at least through the All-Star break, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Toro landed on the injured list Saturday due to a Grade 1 strain in his right hamstring, and the A's have already determined that his absence will extend into the second half of the season. Tyler Nevin figures to see the majority of reps at third base until Toro returns, though Aledmys Diaz and Armando Alvarez may also pick up a few starts.

Athletics' Jordan Groshans: Headed to Oakland
The Athletics acquired Groshans from the Yankees on Sunday in exchange for first baseman J.D. Davis and cash considerations.
After beginning the season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre, Groshans was moved in late April Double-A Somerset, with whom he was slashing .234/.302/.316 with no home runs or stolen bases across 121 plate appearances. The 23-year-old Groshans hasn't seen major-league action since 2022 and will now move on to the fourth organization of his career.

Athletics' Aaron Brooks: Back with big club
Oakland selected Brooks' contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.
After being DFA'd by the Athletics on June 2, Brooks was outrighted to Las Vegas two days later after clearing waivers. He's gone 1-1 in his two starts since returning to Triple-A, allowing five runs (three earned) on 11 hits and one walk while striking out eight over nine innings. Brooks' return to the majors corresponds with Dany Jimenez (oblique) heading to the injured list.

Athletics' Dany Jimenez: Lands on IL with strained oblique
The Athletics placed Jimenez on the 15-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to June 20, due to a strained left oblique.
In his last outing June 19 against the Royals, Jimenez recorded a hold while throwing one scoreless inning, allowing just one hit. He's been one of Oakland's best options out of the bullpen since being recalled May 31, posting a 2.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over nine innings. With Jimenez headed to the IL, the Athletics selected Aaron Brooks from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move.

Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Strong showing in long relief
Bido did not factor into the decision in Saturday's loss to the Twins, firing five relief innings during which he allowed two runs on five hits and three walks. He struck out six and also hit a batter.
Bido was making only his second appearance with the Athletics and first of his current big-league stint with the club, which officially began Friday with a promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas. Bido's extensive experience as a starter -- both in the minors and with the Pirates last season -- came in very handy when JP Sears was chased without even completing two innings. Bido spared the rest of the bullpen while coming just an inning short of what would have qualified as the equivalent of a quality start. The right-hander is likely to be utilized in similar low-leverage, multi-inning roles during this time with the A's.

Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Keeps rolling Saturday
Soderstrom went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Twins on Saturday.
Soderstrom squared up on a Bailey Ober offering in the second and sent it 419 feet to center for the Athletics' second and final run of the afternoon. The rookie has slugged five of his first six big-league homers in the last 12 games, a stretch where he's boasting a stellar 1.117 OPS and has averaged exactly one RBI per contest.

Athletics' JJ Bleday: Swats 11th long ball
Bleday went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to the Twins.
Bleday knotted the score with his solo blast in the bottom of the first inning, though it proved to be futile when Minnesota put up seven runs in the following frame. The homer was Bleday's 11th of the campaign, establishing a new career-best mark. The center fielder has also posted a career-high 28 RBI, 22 doubles and three triples while scoring 35 runs and slashing .256/.341/.472 through 319 plate appearances.

Athletics' JP Sears: Steamrolled by Minnesota
Sears (4-7) took the loss against the Twins on Saturday, allowing eight runs on nine hits and no walks while striking out one batter over 1.1 innings.
Sears was wild in the first inning, as a pair of hit-by-pitches contributed to a Twins run, though he was able to escape the frame without additional damage. Things got much worse for the lefty in the second, when he allowed six straight batters to reach base to open the frame and was pulled with just one out after six runs had crossed the plate. One more Twins runner scored following his departure, resulting in a season-worst eight runs being charged to Sears' ledger. This was by far the hurler's shortest and worst start of the campaign, and the collapse vaulted his season ERA from 4.25 to 5.04.

Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Gets Saturday off
Langeliers is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins.
Langeliers will begin Saturday's game in the dugout after going 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 6-5 win over Minnesota. The lefty-hitting Kyle McCann will start behind home plate Saturday and bat ninth against Twins right-hander Bailey Ober.

Athletics' Armando Alvarez: Contract selected by Oakland
The Athletics selected Alvarez's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.
Alvarez has been playing well in Triple-A this season, slashing .311/.401/.528 with 27 runs, eight home runs and 33 RBI over 187 plate appearances. His move to the big club corresponds with Abraham Toro being placed on the injured list due to a right hamstring strain. While Tyler Nevin figures to get most of the reps at the hot corner with Toro sidelined, Alvarez could see some playing time at third base and, in the process, make his major-league debut.

Athletics' Abraham Toro: Lands on IL with strained hamstring
The Athletics placed Toro on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a strained right hamstring.
Toro returned to the lineup Friday after missing the three previous games due to a shoulder strain. He went 1-for-3 with a run and a walk in Friday's 6-5 win over the Twins, but he was replaced by Tyler Nevin in the top of the seventh inning due to the hamstring strain. Nevin and Aledmys Diaz should see increased playing time with Toro sidelined, as could Armando Alvarez, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move.

Athletics' Sean Newcomb: Gets unusual win Friday
Newcomb (1-0) picked up the win Friday against the Twins after picking off Austin Martin for the final out of the eighth inning.
It was the first time in Athletics history a pitcher recorded a victory without officially facing a batter, as Newcomb was able to escape the two-out, two-on jam he inherited from Lucas Erceg with his pick-off throw. The quick two-pitch outing and win represent a much-needed reprieve for the veteran left-hander, who'd surrendered five earned runs on four hits and three walks over the 3.1 innings covering his previous two appearances.

Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Drives in three Friday
Soderstrom went 2-for-2 with an RBI single, a two-run double, a walk and a run in a win over the Twins on Friday.
Soderstrom's stellar night at the plate began with a first-inning RBI single that plated Abraham Toro (hamstring) and was followed up by a two-bagger in the fifth that drove home Miguel Andujar and Brent Rooker. The rookie has been on a tear at the plate since early June, producing a .314/.397/.588 slash line with six extra-base hits, 11 RBI and an acceptable 20.7 percent strikeout rate across the 58 plate appearances covering his last 15 games.

Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Swats go-ahead homer
Langeliers went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 6-5 win over the Twins.
Langeliers took Jhoan Duran deep in the eighth inning, giving the Athletics the lead for good. This was Langeliers' 14th homer of the year, though he's gone deep just twice over 16 games in June while batting .196 (11-for-56). The catcher is at a .207/.265/.445 slash line across 249 plate appearances this season, and he's added 39 RBI, 24 runs scored and two stolen bases.

Athletics' Mason Miller: Clean inning for save
Miller struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 6-5 win over the Twins.
Shea Langeliers put the Athletics ahead in the eighth inning, and Miller was able to slam the door in the ninth. He hasn't been charged with a run over his last 4.2 innings while posting a 5:2 K:BB in that span. The closer is up to 14 saves with a 2.08 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 60:13 K:BB over 34.2 innings this season.

Athletics' Joey Estes: Bounces back with quality start
Estes allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out one over six innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Friday.
Estes was tagged for six runs over 2.2 innings in his previous start at Minnesota, but he responded with his second quality start in eight outings this season. The downside was his single strikeout, which was a season low for the right-hander. He's now at a 5.53 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 31:10 K:BB over 40.2 innings. Estes is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Angels.
