Fantasy Impact: Lopez has underwhelmed of late, allowing four earned runs or more in each of his last three trips to the mound. The left-hander remains another disappointing arm as part of a dismal Athletics rotation for manager Mark Kotsay, posting a 5.68 ERA and 1.53 WHIP with a 6-5 record, 8.3 K/9 ratio, and .810 OPS allowed across 26 appearances.

Zack Gelof went 1-for-4 in a loss to the Guardians with a three-run home run.

Fantasy Impact: Gelof has offered mixed results at the plate of late, recording hits in five of his last 10 contests. The 26-year-old provides manager Mark Kotsay with one of the more streaky options in an injury-plagued Athletics lineup late in the season, batting .247 with 19 home runs, 49 RBI, 69 runs scored, and 14 stolen bases through 103 games.

Henry Bolte went 1-for-3 in Thursday’s 10-1 loss to the Rays with one walk and one stolen base.

Fantasy Impact: Bolte continues a dynamic stretch of late, extending his on-base streak to 15 contests.

Shea Langeliers went 1-for-4 in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Tampa Bay with one RBI and one stolen base.

Fantasy Impact: Langeliers has caught fire since returning, driving in runs in three of his last four contests.
