Rotowire
Harris walked one and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Friday's 7-6 win over the Mariners.
Harris picked up his second save in as many days, perhaps signaling a shift in momentum back in his favor after Elvis Alvarado saw more save chances in late August. Harris is on a 6.2-inning scoreless streak with a 10:3 K:BB in that span. For the year, he's posted a 3.38 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 82:38 K:BB through 61.1 innings while adding 15 saves, 12 holds and six blown saves. Whether he's closing or setting up, Harris looks to be a lock for late-inning work.

Rotowire
Harris earned a save against the Mariners on Thursday, striking out two batters over one clean inning.
Harris inherited a three-run lead when he entered in the ninth inning and blew through three Seattle batters, throwing 10 of 14 pitches for strikes and notching a pair of punchouts. The southpaw collected his first save since Aug. 23, as Elvis Alvarado had stepped in for the team's two most recent saves prior to Thursday. Based on recent usage, it appears Harris and Alvarado are operating in a loose closer committee.

Rotowire

Athletics' Hogan Harris: Collects save No. 10
Rotowire
Harris gave up a run on three hits and a walk over 1.1 innings Saturday to record his 10th save of the season in a 7-3 win over the Red Sox. He struck out two.
The southpaw got the final out of the eighth inning with the tying run on deck and the A's ahead 6-2 to qualify for a save chance, but Harris created his own jam in the ninth and escaped a bases-loaded, two-out situation by getting Eli White to line out to center field. Harris has been tagged for at least one run in three of his last four appearances, inflating his ERA from 3.09 to 3.71, but his hold on the closer job appears fairly secure -- no other A's reliever has picked up a save since Mason Barnett on June 25.
Athletics' Hogan Harris: Can't find plate in blown save
Rotowire
Harris (3-1) blew the save and took the loss Tuesday, giving up two runs on three walks in two-thirds of an inning as the A's fell 5-4 to the Reds. He struck out one.
Taking the mound for the eighth inning and tasked with protecting a 4-3 lead, Harris instead walked the first two batters he faced, and then allowed both runners to come home with two outs on a pair of wild pitches. It's the second time in his last three appearances that Harris has been tagged for multiple runs, while the blown save was his first since June 21. The southpaw's nine saves lead the A's in 2026, but he's also got five blown saves on his ledger, and his job security as closer should be viewed as very low.

Rotowire

Harris has added a 3.30 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 60:28 K:BB through 43.2 innings, adding some tantalizing strikeout upside despite the obvious risks involved with his 5.8 BB/9 and a hitter-friendly home park.
Harris struck out two over 1.1 perfect innings to earn the save in Friday's 6-4 win over the Rockies.
Harris took a blown save Monday versus the Brewers but bounced back to earn a hold Wednesday. He was able to get a save Friday with a sharp performance, his first clean outing since June 3.

Athletics' Hogan Harris: Records one-out save Tuesday
Rotowire
Harris earned the save Tuesday against the Cubs, recording the final out of the game.
After right-hander Scott Barlow allowed two baserunners in the ninth inning, the Athletics turned to Harris to face Ian Happ with two outs.

Harris executed perfectly, inducing a flyout from Happ to end the game and secure his fifth save of the season, most on the team. The left-hander now owns a 2.57 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 31:22 K:BB across 28 innings this season.
