Athletics' Aaron Civale: Slated for rehab outing Thursday
Civale (shoulder) is scheduled to make a rehab appearance Thursday with Triple-A Las Vegas, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Civale has been shelved since May 26 due to right shoulder tendinitis and seems to be progressing well in his recovery. After beginning a throwing progression June 1, the right-hander is now set to take the next step and jump into game action. Should Civale come out of Thursday's rehab start feeling healthy, a return to the big-league rotation for his next appearance seems likely. Prior to hitting the injured list, he posted a 5-2 record with a 4.20 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 39:17 K:BB across 55.2 innings (11 starts).

Athletics' Alika Williams: Hits first career homer
Williams went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.
Williams was playing in his 99th major-league Wednesday and finally clubbed his first homer, a sixth-inning blast off Brandon Sproat. Since he was traded from the Pirates on May 16, Williams has appeared in 16 games, batting .212 with a .599 OPS, four RBI, four runs scored, two doubles and no stolen bases over 35 plate appearances. He's part of a three-man battle for two spots in the lineup on the left side of the infield right now -- Williams has started six of the last eight games at shortstop but could cede some time to Max Muncy, who was activated from the injured list Monday after recovering from a broken hand. Zack Gelof's usage at third base is likely to impact Muncy's playing time, which could trickle down to Williams depending on who's got the hot bat.

Athletics' Carlos Cortes: Pops homer in win
Cortes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.
Cortes clubbed his first homer since May 24 to pull the Athletics within a run in the seventh inning. The outfielder has been seeing steady time in right field against right-handed pitchers, primarily working in a platoon with Colby Thomas while bumping Lawrence Butler into a reserve role. However, Cortes has gone just 4-for-21 (.190) in June after batting .265 in May to maintain a foothold in the lineup. Overall, Cortes is hitting .310 with an .890 OPS, six homers, 18 RBI, 16 runs scored and a stolen base across 182 plate appearances, but his consistency has faded a bit. That may not cost him playing time if Brent Rooker (knee) ends up on the injured list, but it could open the door for Butler to get more looks.

Athletics' Lawrence Butler: Hits go-ahead homer
Butler went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.
Butler put the Athletics ahead in the seventh inning with his first long ball since April 29. The outfielder has slipped into a part-time role, and he's not helping his cause in June, going 3-for-18 (.167) over eight games this month, even with the homer. Overall, he's batting .165 with a .507 OPS, four homers, 16 RBI, 18 runs scored, three doubles and four stolen bases through 183 plate appearances. Butler will need to show some consistency at the plate to displace Carlos Cortes from the starting job in right field versus right-handed pitchers. There was room in the lineup for both of them Wednesday since Brent Rooker sat out due to knee soreness.

Athletics' Elvis Alvarado: Nabs first save of season
Alvarado struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Brewers.
The right-hander was trusted to lock things down in the ninth inning while pitching for the second day in a row, becoming the fifth different Athletics' pitcher to record a save since May 30. Alvarado struggled early in the season after making the Opening Day roster and was demoted in mid-April, but he's allowed just one hit while striking out nine over 4.1 innings across three appearances since returning to the majors last week. He's collected a save, four holds and a 2-0 record on the year despite a 5.79 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB through 14 innings. Alvarado is the ninth pitcher overall to earn a save for the team this season, as the closer situation remains a muddled committee for the A's.

Athletics' Jack Perkins: Goes four innings again
Perkins allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over four innings in a no-decision versus the Brewers on Wednesday.
Perkins was a little better this time out, but he still wasn't very efficient in his second start of the year. He threw 56 of 89 pitches for strikes and allowed two home runs while pitching at hitter-friendly Las Vegas Ballpark. In his two starts, he's allowed eight runs on 10 hits and five walks while striking out 10 over eight innings. Combined with his work out of the bullpen this season, Perkins has a 6.25 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 43:12 K:BB through 36 innings over 19 appearances. If the Athletics still need his help in the rotation, Perkins would be tentatively lined up for a home start in Sacramento against the Pirates next week.

Athletics' Brent Rooker: Sitting with knee soreness
Rooker won't play in Wednesday's game against the Brewers due to knee soreness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Manager Mark Kotsay said the team will wait to see how Rooker feels leading up to Friday's game against the Rockies before deciding whether he needs to spend time on the injured list. Carlos Cortes will work as the Athletics' designated hitter Wednesday while Lawrence Butler starts in right field, and that could be the defensive alignment the team uses if Rooker has to miss more time.

Athletics' Brent Rooker: Idle again Wednesday
Rooker isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee.
Rooker has slashed .243/.300/.541 with three homers and eight runs scored across his last 10 games, but the A's will now have him begin on the bench for a second consecutive game. Carlos Cortes will move into the DH spot as a result, opening up right field for Lawrence Butler.

Athletics' Max Muncy: Resting Wednesday
Muncy isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
Muncy has gone 1-for-8 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored in two games since returning from the injured list. He'll move to the bench to begin Wednesday's series finale, allowing Alika Williams to start at shortstop while batting ninth.

Athletics' Zack Gelof: Swats homer in win
Gelof went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Brewers.
Gelof took former teammate Joel Kuhnel deep in the eighth inning to tack on an insurance run for the Athletics. Gelof has hit safely in 14 straight games dating back to May 25, going 19-for-55 (.345) with two homers and six RBI in that span. The infielder is playing second base against southpaws and third base versus right-handers, but he's been too hot at the plate recently to get platooned. If Gelof's hitting turns cold, Max Muncy could poach some of the time at third since both players are right-handed hitters.

Athletics' Henry Bolte: Goes yard in win
Bolte went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Brewers.
It took 25 games, but Bolte now has the first homer of his career. He went deep in the second inning off Milwaukee starter Robert Gasser. Bolte has maintained a steady bat in June, going 8-for-26 (.308) this month, albeit with a 1:14 BB:K. The outfielder is hitting .295 with a .756 OPS, seven RBI, seven runs scored, four stolen bases and four doubles through his first 89 plate appearances. Bolte carries a .440 BABIP and a 31.5 percent strikeout rate, both of which are indicators of regression, as the swing-and-miss problem will be more apparent if his hitting luck dries up.

Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Pops homer in Tuesday's win
Soderstrom went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Brewers.
Soderstrom has hit safely in 13 of his last 15 games, going 20-for-50 (.400) with six homers and 13 RBI in that span. He also has a 12:6 BB:K during the stretch, showcasing his improved plate discipline for the year. Overall, the outfielder is still batting just .238, but he has an .804 OPS, 11 homers, 36 RBI, 30 runs scored, one stolen base, 17 doubles and two triples through 64 contests.

Athletics' Nick Kurtz: Keeps mashing Tuesday
Kurtz went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Brewers.
Kurtz has launched four homers over his last three games and seven long balls over his last 11 contests. This stretch has gotten the first baseman back in the neighborhood of what's expected of him from a power standpoint -- he now has 15 homers on the year. Kurtz is also batting .283 with a .969 OPS, 49 RBI, 46 runs scored, 12 doubles, one triple and seven stolen bases over 302 plate appearances this season.

Athletics' Mason Barnett: Secures two-inning save
Barnett struck out four over two perfect innings to earn the save in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Brewers.
Barnett wasn't utilized in Monday's slugfest, leaving him fresh to pitch Tuesday while the bullpen was short. He delivered a tidy outing, collecting his six outs on 31 pitches (20 strikes) for his first career save. Barnett has allowed just two hits with a 12:4 K:BB across eight innings over three relief appearances this season. The Athletics have a hole in the rotation currently, but it may not be an issue until next week. Barnett came up through the minor leagues as a starter, which could make him a candidate for a spot start at some point later in the year. For now, he can be considered a long reliever.

Athletics' Jonah Heim: Goes yard in win
Heim went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Brewers.
Heim was the lone Athletic to collect multiple hits, and one of them was one of the team's five long balls. While his playing time remains limited, the catcher has gone 10-for-32 (.313) with four homers and two doubles over his last 10 contests, a stretch that dates back to May 17. He is batting .232 with a .777 OPS, five long balls, 14 RBI, 13 runs scored, six doubles and no steals through 90 plate appearances this season. Heim is in no position to challenge Shea Langeliers for starts behind the plate, but Heim has delivered when called upon lately, either in spot starts or off the bench.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Allows five runs in win
Ginn (4-3) allowed five runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Brewers on Tuesday.
Ginn wasn't all that good, but he did better than opposing starter Robert Gasser, who got tagged for six runs, including four home runs. This was just the second time all season Ginn has allowed more than three runs. He's now at a 3.15 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 65:30 K:BB across 71.1 innings through 15 appearances (12 starts) on the year. He's projected to make his next start against the Rockies in Las Vegas, assuming the Athletics use Thursday's off day to skip the open fifth spot in their rotation.

Athletics' Brent Rooker: Getting rest Tuesday
Rooker isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.
Rooker has posted an .816 OPS through 27 plate appearances since the start of June, but the A's will give him a chance to regroup after he finished Monday's contest 0-for-5 with a walk and three strikeouts. Shea Langeliers will move into the DH spot with Rooker on the bench, allowing Jonah Heim to pick up a start behind the dish.
