Rooker (personal) is expected to return from the paternity list Saturday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

He'll miss a second straight game Thursday against the Mets following the birth of his new child but Rooker looks like he'll be ready to go coming out of the Athletics' off day Friday for the start of a two-game set versus the Giants. Rooker had put up three straight multi-hit games before going on the paternity list and has a .910 OPS over 38 at-bats in August.

Malloy will start in left field and bat leadoff in Thursday's game against the Mariners.

Malloy had a pinch-hit single in the first game of the series and reached base three times in the second contest after being a late addition to the lineup. That's earned him not only another start in the series finale, but also his first-ever look at the leadoff spot.

Malloy is starting in left field and batting seventh Wednesday against the Tigers.

The 24-year-old was initally absent from the starting nine Wednesday, but he'll end up receiving a start since Javier Baez (undisclosed) was scratched. Malloy has a .642 OPS through 10 games in August, and he could see a diminished role going forward with Kerry Carpenter back from the injured list.

Stanton is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Stanton will get a chance to rest Wednesday after going 1-for-8 with three strikeouts through the first two games of the series. His absence open up the designated-hitter spot for Aaron Judge while allowing Trent Grisham to start in center field.

Fry is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Fry had started each of the last five games, going 3-for-17 with a home run. While he's in the midst of a lull at the plate to begin August, Fry will hit the bench Wednesday to make room for a hotter bat in Jhonkensy Noel, who will draw a third consecutive start after slugging three home runs between the first two contests versus the Cubs.

O'Hearn is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Nationals, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Southpaw DJ Herz will toe the slab for the Nationals, so the left-handed-hitting O'Hearn will grab a seat. Austin Slater will occupy left field and Eloy Jimenez will start at designated hitter for the Orioles.

Malloy is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Malloy has now sat out both contests since Kerry Carpenter was reinstated from the injured list Tuesday. Carpenter has served as the Tigers' designated hitter both times, so Malloy could see his playing time tick back up if Detroit elects to deploy Carpenter in right field more frequently down the road.

Calhoun went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

Calhoun's ninth-inning blast prevented the Angels from getting shut out. The 29-year-old's playing time has been down lately due to a stretch heavy with left-handed starters for the Angels' opponents. It looks like Calhoun is in a strict platoon role at this point of the season. Overall, he has a .248/.316/.385 slash line, five homers, 20 RBI, 26 runs scored, 16 doubles and no stolen bases over 67 contests.

Madris went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 15-1 win over the Mariners.

Madris was ostensibly seen as a depth piece when he was called up from Triple-A Toledo in late July, but he's forced his way into regular playing time. The 28-year-old is batting .304 with five RBI and eight runs scored in 18 games for the Tigers. Madris may not be in the team's long-term plans, but he should continue to see the field plenty in the short term.

Jimenez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Nationals.

After starting four straight contests, Jimenez has now been in the lineup just two times over the subsequent five games. The 27-year-old is 12-for-24 at the plate to begin his Orioles career but is still contending with Ryan O'Hearn for starts at designated hitter.
