Chris Young - OF - Athletics

Chris Young launched a go-ahead three-run homer in the ninth inning in Friday's 6-5 win over the Astros.

The clutch blast capped a big night for the Houston native, as he went 3-for-5 with two runs scored. Young is batting just .189 through 28 games this season, but he still has produced five home runs, 19 RBI, five stolen bases and 15 runs scored. He's worth considering in deeper mixed fantasy leagues.

Tommy Milone - S - Athletics

Tommy Milone yielded five runs over seven innings Friday as part of a no-decision against the Astros.

All five runs scored in the fifth inning, as Milone gave up a solo homer to Matt Dominguez, an RBI single to Jose Altuve and a two-run homer to J.D. Martinez. He struck out six and walked none in the no-decision. Milone now owns a 3.80 ERA on the season, though he unsurprisingly has enjoyed most of his success at home. He'll get the Giants next week in San Francisco.

Josh Reddick - OF - Athletics

Josh Reddick (wrist) felt great after taking batting practice on the field before Friday's game, saying that his wrist wasn't an issue at all.

Reddick said he expects to play in rehab games with High-A Stockton on Monday, and with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday. If all goes well, he could return to the A's lineup shortly afterwards.

Jed Lowrie - SS - Athletics

Jed Lowrie (foot) is out of the Athletics' lineup again Friday.

Lowrie hasn't played since he was hit in the right foot by Yu Darvish on Tuesday. X-rays came back negative, but he's still dealing with some soreness. Consider him day-to-day for now.

Hiroyuki Nakajima - SS - Athletics

Athletics activated SS Hiroyuki Nakajima from the 15-day disabled list; optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento.

Nakajima is still working his way back from a hamstring injury he suffered late in spring training. His 20-day rehab window expired on Wednesday, so the Athletics are stashing him in the minors for now.
May 23 - 12:28 PM
Jarrod Parker - S - Athletics

Jarrod Parker dropped to 2-6 after surrendering three runs in seven innings Wednesday against the Rangers.

Another solid outing for Parker, even if he did allow two homers. He's turned in three straight quality starts, and he has a 22/9 K/BB ratio in four turns this month after finish April with an 18/16 K/BB ratio in six starts.
May 22 - 5:02 PM
Dan Straily - S - Athletics

Dan Straily held the Rangers scoreless over seven innings as the A's beat the Rangers 1-0 on Tuesday.

After struggling through five starts Straily twirled a gem Tuesday, allowing just two hits in his seven innings. More notably, the right-hander didn't walk a batter after issuing 12 free passes through his first 26 innings. He'll try to keep the ball rolling Monday against the Giants.
May 21 - 11:42 PM
Yoenis Cespedes - OF - Athletics

Yoenis Cespedes hit his ninth homer of the year to lead the A's to victory over the Rangers on Tuesday.

It was Cespedes' only hit of the night, but it was enough to give the A's the win. After dealing with injuries and a slow start to the season, he's now homered in two of the last three games and has 22 RBI. We're betting that he'll be just fine.
May 21 - 11:37 PM
Grant Balfour - R - Athletics

Grant Balfour pitched a scoreless ninth inning to preserve the A's win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

Balfour struck out a batter and now owns a 1.47 ERA through 18 1/3 innings this year. He has yet to blow a save in nine chances.
May 21 - 11:25 PM
Jed Lowrie - SS - Athletics

An X-ray on Jed Lowrie's right foot came back clean.

Lowrie was injury Tuesday when he was hit by a Yu Darvish pitch. He won't play Wednesday but should be back in the lineup Friday following Thursday's off day.

Jed Lowrie - SS - Athletics

Jed Lowrie left Tuesday's game with a right foot contusion.

Lowrie was hit on the foot by a Yu Darvish pitch. It's not clear at this point if the ailment will cause him to miss additional time, but it's likely a day-to-day situation in all likelihood.

Hiroyuki Nakajima - SS - Athletics

Hiroyuki Nakajima (hamstring) is expected to be added to the major league roster when his 20-day rehab window expires on Wednesday.

Nakajima is batting just .250 with a .313 on-base percentage at Triple-A Sacramento, but he's made strides defensively and has also showed he can play second and third base. His role with the big club figures to be limited.

Jemile Weeks - 2B - Athletics

Jemile Weeks has been playing some shortstop at Triple-A Sacramento.

Weeks offered to learn the position in hopes that it would give him a better chance to be called up. He's actually appeared in more games as a shortstop (14) than he has as a second baseman (12) for Sacramento, and River Cats manager Steve Scarsone has told Bob Melvin that Weeks is "very playable" at the position. Weeks is batting .285/.413/.376 with two homers and eight steals at Triple-A.

Daric Barton - 1B - Athletics

Athletics sent 1B Daric Barton outright to Triple-A Sacramento.

Barton cleared waivers after being designated for assignment over the weekend. This is actually the second time he has gone unclaimed since the end of spring training, which speaks to how far his stock has fallen in recent years. The 27-year-old batted .143 (3-for-21) in eight games with the A's and will function as minor league depth.
