Logue was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Logue had a 2.04 ERA over his first four outings for the A's, but he gave up 11 runs in his past two starts and is now headed back to the minors. The 26-year-old could receive another look in the majors this year but for now will return to Las Vegas, where he has a 5.63 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 13:8 K:BB across 16 innings.

Garza (lat) returned to action for Triple-A Columbus on Saturday. He allowed two runs (one earned) on a hit and three walks while recording just one out (via strikeout) versus Triple-A Buffalo.

This was Garza's season debut, as a right lat strain kept him out of action for nearly two months. The 28-year-old got his first taste of major-league play last year, but he'll likely need to prove himself again at Columbus before potentially being a candidate to join the Guardians' bullpen this year.

Tapia was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Tapia was claimed off waivers by the A's in late April, and he'll now join the big-league club after spending the past month with Las Vegas. He has a 3.38 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB over 13.1 innings at the Triple-A level this season.

Feyereisen (4-0) struck out two and did not allow a baserunner in a scoreless seventh inning to earn the win Saturday against the Yankees.

Feyereisen entered with the game tied and generated two swinging strikeouts. He has not allowed an earned run across 22 innings and has a 25:4 K:BB on the season. Despite his dominance, Feyereisen has not earned a save this season and doesn't appear to be in the mix for the closer role even with Andrew Kittredge (back) sidelined.

Leclerc (elbow) allowed two hits and struck one over 1.1 scoreless innings for Double-A Frisco on Saturday.

Leclerc is taking his first steps back to the majors after undergoing Tommy John surgery in March of 2021. He's made two rehab appearances, giving up a run on four hits while striking out three over 2.1 innings. The earliest he's eligible to return is June 6, per Sara Wexler of MLB.com.

Logue (2-4) took the loss Saturday, giving up four runs on seven hits and a walk over 2.1 innings as the A's were routed 11-4 by the Rangers. He struck out one.

After tossing two scoreless frames, Logue couldn't escape the third as back-to-back homers by Corey Seager and Adolis Garcia helped chase the lefty from the game. Logue has failed to complete five innings in each of his last three starts, getting stuck with the loss in all three, and the 26-year-old rookie now sports a 5.47 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB through 24.2 innings on the year.

Hearn (3-3) picked up the win in Saturday's 11-4 rout of the A's, giving up three runs (two earned) on eight hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five.

There wasn't much suspense in the game after the Rangers grabbed a 4-0 lead in the third inning, but Hearn came through with his first quality start of the season, and his first outing of more than five innings. The southpaw will take a 5.36 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 38:19 K:BB through 40.1 innings into his next start.

Romano pitched two-thirds of an inning in Saturday's 6-5 victory over the Angels, allowing one run on one hit and two walks. He failed to record a strikeout.

Romano entered with a two-run lead in the ninth and recorded two quick outs but put four runners on and was removed in favor of Ross Stripling, who closed out the win. The 29-year-old threw 12 pitches Friday in addition to 24 Saturday with only 11 going for strikes in pitching on consecutive days for only the third time all season. The poor performance was an aberration or the typically reliable Romano, whose closer role isn't in jeopardy.

Winckowski (0-1) allowed four runs on six hits and three walks with four strikeouts in three innings, taking the loss in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Orioles.

Winckowski got through the Orioles' order without taking any damage the first time, but they got to him for all four runs in the third inning. The Red Sox's bullpen then provided six innings of one-hit ball, but the offense didn't get the right-hander off the hook. Winckowski was up as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him returned to Triple-A Worcester in the near future -- the Red Sox have no apparent need to carry an extra starter.

Krehbiel (2-3) earned the win in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Red Sox. He allowed one hit and struck out two in 1.1 scoreless innings.

Saturday was his second scoreless appearance in a row, the first time he's achieved that feat since May 9-10. The right-hander followed spot starter Denyi Reyes, who was effective with just one run allowed in 3.2 innings. Krehbiel has worked well in a versatile role this season, posting a 2.86 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 16:7 K:BB across 22 innings in 20 appearances. He's added five holds, and he's earned trust with manager Brandon Hyde to deliver quality pitching in a variety of situations.
