With Ryan Madson getting the night off, John Axford pitched a scoreless ninth for his second save Wednesday against the Orioles.

Axford, who has a 4.44 ERA and a 45/20 K/BB ratio in 46 2/3 innings this season, could be a candidate for a trade this month, though that'd be nothing new for him. Axford also changed teams in August in both 2013 and 2014. Aug 11 - 12:48 AM

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Stephen Vogt

	4	Josh Phegley 60-Day DL Josh Phegley (knee) is not expected to play again this season. Phegley was admitted to a hospital Friday with synovitis in his right knee. The good news is that he's expected to get out of the hospital on Tuesday, but a return to the field in September just isn't realistic at this point. Aug 29
1B	1	Yonder Alonso
	2	Matt Olson
2B	1	Joe Wendle
	2	Tyler Ladendorf 15-Day DL Athletics placed INF Tyler Ladendorf on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained left wrist. Oakland has promoted infield prospect Chad Pinder in a corresponding roster move. Ladendorf is just 4-for-48 (.083) this season at the major league level. Aug 17
	3	Eric Sogard 60-Day DL A's manager Bob Melvin said he's no longer optimistic Eric Sogard (knee) will play this year. There hasn't been a major setback; Sogard is simply running out of time. The infielder opened the 2016 regular season on the 15-day disabled list with a neck problem and then injured his left knee on a mid-April minor league rehab assignment. That knee injury would eventually require surgery -- a patellar tendon debridement. Sogard will be a non-tender candidate this winter. Aug 10
	4	Jed Lowrie 60-Day DL Jed Lowrie will begin the rehab process in two weeks after undergoing successful foot surgery. Lowrie went under the knife to repair ligament damage in his left foot, as well as to remove a bunion and cyst. While he won't return to action this season, he is expected to make a full recovery by the start of spring training in 2017. Aug 31

3B	1	Ryon Healy

LF	1	Khris Davis
	2	Mark Canha 60-Day DL Mark Canha (hip) will take some swings off a tee on Tuesday. Canha underwent surgery in May to repair a left hip impingement and labral tear. There's not enough time for him to return this season, but he's making encouraging progress. Sep 19
	3	Brett Eibner
CF	1	Jake Smolinski
	2	Sam Fuld 60-Day DL Sam Fuld (shoulder) is facing a 12-15 month recovery. His surgery will be performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache no later than May 18. With Fuld set to miss a good chunk of 2017, it could be hard for the veteran to find work this offseason. The 34-year-old's contract expires at the end of 2016. Apr 30

	4	Andrew Triggs Sidelined A's manager Bob Melvin said Andrew Triggs (back) is doubtful to pitch again this season. Triggs left his start Friday against the Red Sox after just one inning due to back discomfort, and he's apparently still in pain. The 27-year-old right-hander had a 4.31 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 55/13 K/BB ratio through 56 1/3 innings this season with Oakland. Sep 6
	5	Ross Detwiler

	7	Raul Alcantara
	8	Jharel Cotton
	9	Chris Bassitt 60-Day DL Athletics transferred RHP Chris Bassitt from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot for Daniel Coulombe on the 40-man roster. Bassitt underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery last week and will be sidelined through the early part of 2017. May 10

	8	J.B. Wendelken Sidelined J.B. Wendelken has been diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. The 23-year-old right-hander is likely to require Tommy John surgery, but he'll go for a second opinion first. Tommy John would sideline Wendelken for the entire 2017 season. Sep 21
	9	Zach Neal
	10	Dillon Overton
	11	Jarrod Parker 60-Day DL Jarrod Parker underwent surgery Friday to reconstruct the flexor tendon and ulnar collateral ligament complex in his right elbow. In other words, it sounds like he basically had his entire elbow repaired. While it's unclear whether this technically qualifies as a third Tommy John surgery for Parker, it's going to be a lengthy rehab. The right-hander is a long shot to ever pitch in another major league game. Apr 1
	12	Fernando Rodriguez 60-Day DL Fernando Rodriguez underwent surgery on Friday to repair a torn lat muscle. It's a procedure similar to what Jake Peavy had done a few years back. Rodriguez is expected to be able to resume throwing in four months and should be fully healthy and ready to go for the start of 2017. Sep 9
