Unpacking potential of Butler, Toglia in fantasy

Rotoworld Player News

JP Sears

OAK Starting Pitcher #38

JP Sears limited the White Sox to one run over seven innings in Oakland’s 5-1 victory on Monday.

That’s 21 straight losses for the White Sox. Sears allowed three hits, walked one and struck out five in an efficient outing, and he’s moved to 9-8 with a 4.35 ERA for the season. That win-loss record is a huge improvement from last year, which he finished 5-16 with a 4.54 ERA.
Lawrence Butler

OAK Right Fielder #4

Held out of the A’s lineup for the first time since July 12, Lawrence Butler homered anyway Monday, delivered a solo shot as a pinch-hitter in the sixth.

He then finished the game in right field. Butler was being rested against a lefty after going 1-for-11 with seven strikeouts against the Dodgers over the weekend. The homer tonight was his 13th in 80 games this season.
Mason Miller

OAK Relief Pitcher #19

Mason Miller threw 15 pitches in live batting practice Monday and is close to being activated.

Miller’s 15 days are up Wednesday, and it sounds like he’ll be activated then, even though his broken left pinkie finger isn’t fully healed yet. Tyler Ferguson will be droppable in fantasy leagues when Miller returns.
Osvaldo Bido

OAK Starting Pitcher #45

Osvaldo Bido lost to the Dodgers and allowed three runs — two earned — in six innings on Sunday.

Bido did his part today, but the A’s lost 3-2 anyway. There’s probably not any fantasy value here, but Bido has been effective in two of his three starts since moving into Oakland’s rotation. He’ll face the Blue Jays next.
Zack Gelof

OAK Second Baseman #20

After sitting out Saturday, Zack Gelof went 0-for-3 with a walk and a steal Sunday against the Dodgers.

One of Gelof’s better games lately. If the 24-year-old hadn’t so impressive as a rookie last season, he’d almost certainly be back in the minors by now. He’s batting .189/.255/.351 in 355 plate appearances. He has more than twice as many strikeouts (127) as hits (61).
Mitch Spence

OAK Relief Pitcher #40

Mitch Spence allowed two runs in 5 2/3 innings in a loss to the Dodgers on Saturday.

The Dodgers scored 10 in this contest, but it was the Oakland bullpen that did the damage after Spence left the contest. The 26-year-old allowed five hits and walked three while striking out six, and the only runs came on a two-run single by Gavin Lux in the third. Spence has been inconsistent in 2024 with a 4.40 ERA and 84/31 K/BB over 25 appearances (14 starts), but Saturday’s outing suggests there could be a decent future ahead.
Mason Miller

OAK Relief Pitcher #19

Mason Miller (finger) is set to throw a simulated game on Monday.

The 25-year-old right-hander has shed the cast on his non-throwing hand and is ready to get back on the hill. If everything goes according to plan, it sounds like Miller could be ready to return from the injured list as soon as he’s eligible. The A’s will continue to mix and match in the ninth inning in the meantime.
Jacob Wilson

OAK Shortstop #5

Jacob Wilson (hamstring) resumed light baseball activities earlier this week.

Wilson has progressed to hitting off a tee in addition to some light jogging. The 22-year-old rookie shortstop, who has been out since late July recovering from a left hamstring strain, remains without a definitive return timeline, but he should be ready to return to Oakland’s lineup by the end of August.
Miguel Andujar

OAK Third Baseman #22

Miguel Andujar went 3-for-4 with a triple and RBI in a win over the Dodgers on Friday.

Andujar’s triple scored a run in the fifth inning and gave the A’s a 3-2 lead in the fifth inning. It’s been a very solid season for the 29-year-old, a he’s reminded why he was considered a top prospect not long ago with a .297/.325/.409 slash. A little more power would be nice and he remains without patience, but tough to complain considering the low expectations entering the year.
Brent Rooker

OAK Left Fielder #25

Brent Rooker hit a three-run homer Friday in a 6-5 win for the Athletics over the Dodgers on Friday.

Rooker gave the Athletics a 6-2 lead with his 27th homer with a couple runners on against Joe Kelly. The 29-year-old has been absolutely terrific in 2024, and while his .293 average may be in for some regression over the final two months, the power production should remain close to elite until the season closes.
