Gelof went 3-for-5 with a home run, two total runs and three total RBI against the Angels in a 14-6 rout Tuesday.
Gelof knocked in two runs with a single in the third inning and then hit a solo homer in the seventh. He made his 12th straight start at third base after previously spending most of his time this season in the outfield or at second base. Gelof is getting everyday at-bats due to injuries to Max Muncy (hand) and Jacob Wilson (shoulder), but he may be earning himself a permanent role in the lineup even when the club is healthy. Through 16 contests in May, Gelof is batting .293 with five homers, 12 runs, 12 RBI and two stolen bases.

Athletics' Jacob Lopez: Can't capitalize on big lead
Rotowire
Lopez pitched 3.2 innings against the Angels on Tuesday, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out two batters in a no-decision.
Lopez was given a 6-0 lead after a big top of the third inning by the Athletics' offense. However, the southpaw gave a run back in the bottom of that frame on a Mike Trout homer, and then allowed four straight batters to reach base with two outs in the fourth -- resulting in three runs -- before being pulled. The early exit cost Lopez a chance at a victory in what turned out to be a 14-6 final score in favor of the A's. Lopez had shown some signs of improvement in his previous two starts, giving up four combined earned runs over 10.1 frames, but he still has an ugly 6.14 ERA on the season. His next start is projected to be a road matchup in San Diego.
Butler is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Angels.
The Angels are sending southpaw Reid Detmers to the mound to start the game, so the left-handed-hitting Butler is taking a seat. Brent Rooker will start in right field while Shea Langeliers serves as the designated hitter and Jonah Heim enters the lineup at catcher.

Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Sitting versus lefty
Rotowire
Soderstrom is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Angels.
The Angels have southpaw Reid Detmers starting Tuesday, so the left-handed-hitting Soderstrom will take a seat. Soderstrom has struggled in 2026 with a .190/.275/.375 slash line, down across the board from 2025. His dip versus lefties has been even worse with a .738 OPS in 2025 and just a .426 OPS in 2026. As Soderstrom sits Tuesday, Colby Thomas will start in left and bat third.
Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Loses no-hitter in ninth, dealt loss
Rotowire
Ginn (2-2) was the pitcher of record in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Angels after allowing two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out 10 batters over eight-plus innings.
Ginn dominated through eight frames, holding the Angels without a hit while establishing a new career-high strikeout total. The game was tied 0-0 heading into the ninth, but the Athletics scored a run in the top of the inning to give Ginn a shot at history. In an absolutely brutal ending to a fantastic outing, Ginn gave up a leadoff single to Adam Frazier to lose the no-hitter before Zach Neto tagged him for a two-run, walk-off home run. Ginn's start will be most remembered for the way it ended, but fantasy managers who roster him should take solace in the strength of his overall performance. He not only picked up third straight quality start but also demonstrated improved swing-and-miss stuff with 14 whiffs.
Athletics' Michael Stefanic: Will report to Triple-A
Rotowire

Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Yet to resume baseball activities
Rotowire
Wilson (shoulder) remains in the strengthening and stabilization portion of his rehab, Jason Burke of SI.com reports.
Wilson suffered a left shoulder subluxation a little over a week ago and is still in the early stages of the rehab process. Once the Athletics are satisfied with the strengthening work Wilson has done on his shoulder, he will be cleared to resume baseball activities. There is no timetable for Wilson's return to the active roster. With Wilson sidelined, Darell Hernaiz has been filling in at shortstop.

Athletics' Max Muncy: Begins swing progression
Rotowire
Muncy (hand) has begun a swinging progression, Jason Burke of SI.com reports.
Muncy was placed on the 10-day injured list nearly three weeks ago with a fractured fifth metacarpal in his left hand, and he's finally ready to start ramping up his rehab. The young infielder will need to go out on a rehab assignment before rejoining the Athletics' active roster, and it's unclear how soon he might be ready for that. Zack Gelof has been filling in at third base in Muncy's stead.

Rotowire
Kriske (shoulder) will be shut down from throwing for at least three weeks, Jason Burke of SI.com reports.
Kriske landed on the 15-day injured list last Wednesday with a right shoulder impingement. He will need some time to get built back up following the shutdown period, which makes it unlikely Kriske will return until July.

Rotowire
Double-A Midland placed Lin on the 7-day injured list May 13 with a left quad strain.
Lin struck out a career-high 10 batters in six innings May 7 but was placed on the injured list before making another start. The 20-year-old southpaw boasts a 1.85 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 43:9 K:BB in 34 innings across seven starts for the RockHounds.
Athletics' Justin Sterner: Works scoreless frame Sunday
Rotowire
Sterner threw a perfect inning with no strikeouts in Sunday's 10-1 loss to the Giants.
Sterner entered in the seventh inning and retired the bottom of the Giants' lineup to keep the Athletics within one run before an eight-run, eighth-inning implosion turned the contest into a blowout. Over his past seven appearances (5.2 innings), the right-hander has allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out four. Overall, Sterner owns a 4.03 ERA and 1.34 WHIP with a 23:7 K:BB across 22.1 frames in 2026.
