Rooker went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a loss to the Astros on Saturday.

Rooker put the Athletics' first run of the night on the board with his fourth-inning knock, which plated Ryan Noda. The 28-year-old's multi-hit effort was his fourth in the last 10 games and snapped him out of a brief 0-for-8 skid over his last two games that included a highly atypical four-strikeout tally in Friday's series opener.

Turner (knee) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres

Turner was removed from Friday's game against San Diego with left knee soreness, and while manager Alex Cora was hopeful for a return to the lineup on Sunday, Turner will miss at least one more game while recuperating. Masataka Yoshida will be the designated hitter for Sunday's finale while Ramiel Tapia gets the start in left.

Blackmon is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Rangers.

Kris Bryant will draw the start at designated hitter while Randal Grichuk enters the lineup in right field and bats fourth in the series finale with Texas.

Vientos is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Vientos is 2-for-8 with a home run, a walk and three RBI in two games since being promoted Wednesday, and he'll step out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's twin bill. Daniel Vogelbach will serve as the designated hitter versus Cleveland righty Tanner Bibee.

Canha is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader at Cleveland.

Canha has a .235/.278/.373 slash line through 16 games in May and will hit the bench for Sunday's matinee. Jeff McNeil will move to left field while Eduardo Escobar receives a start at the keystone.

Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Brewers.

Ramirez got the scoring started with a solo home run in the bottom of the first inning, his seventh long ball of the season. It was his first home run in his last 14 games, though he's still managed to hit .300 with nine RBI and seven runs scored in that span.

Martinez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a loss to the Cardinals on Saturday.

Martinez's lone hit of the contest was a big one, as he connected for a three-run homer in the sixth inning to tie the game 3-3. The long ball was his sixth of the campaign and his second since returning from a stint on the injured list May 12. Since being activated, he's notched a hit in all but of the eight contests in which he's played, though that has amounted to a modest .212 batting average. Martinez has also knocked in nine RBI over the eight-game span.

He's scheduled to start on the mound Sunday in the series finale versus Minnesota.
