Athletics — News
Morris enters a matchup where Oakland (30-33, -37 run diff) faces Houston (29-36, -35 run diff) with both teams struggling offensively. Altuve's return adds minimal upside at .245 AVG with .314 xwOBA through 42 games.
Alvarado enters a bullpen anchored by relievers with limited 2026 track records as Oakland sits 30-32 with a -33 run differential. Kuhnel's minimal action (0 IP) makes this a low-impact depth move.
No 2026 batting statistics available for Kurtz; Athletics sit 30-32 with -33 run differential, making MVP candidacy speculative regardless of Judge's injury.
Oakland's rotation loses its strikeout leader (Severino: 9.34 K/9, 65 SO) and one of its only two wins-column contributors (Civale: 5-2) simultaneously. With Springs carrying a 4.07 ERA and the team at 28-31 (-34 run diff), the Athletics lean heavily on Jump, who will start today against the Cubs.
Morris makes his MLB debut for Oakland (28-31, -34 run differential) after the club opens roster spots. The Athletics enter this move having surrendered 13 runs in a single inning to NYY recently, with starter Springs carrying a 4.07 ERA.
Houston Astros — News
Salazar had zero MLB plate appearances this season before the move, so this is a straightforward depth shuffle with no roster impact for Houston (29-36, -35 run differential).
Morris enters a matchup where Oakland (30-33, -37 run diff) faces Houston (29-36, -35 run diff) with both teams struggling offensively. Altuve's return adds minimal upside at .245 AVG with .314 xwOBA through 42 games.
Thomas had no 2026 plate appearances before designation; the move clears 40-man space for Wade Jr. signing as Houston sits 28-36 with -39 run differential.
Ketel Marte (0.380 OBP, 11 HR) delivered late heroics while Pittsburgh extended its edge to +37 run differential—fourth-best in NL—by beating Houston (28-36, -39 diff) again in a season series dominated by the Pirates.
Perkins makes his first start Friday against a Houston team sitting 28-35 with a -35 run differential and 6-4 record over its last 10 games. Oakland's rotation additions matter less than Houston's offensive struggles; the Astros have allowed 323 runs this season, making Perkins' debut workload secondary to their vulnerability at the plate.
