Ginn will start Sunday's game against the Astros.

Ginn was called upon to fill the vacant spot in the Athletics rotation Tuesday against the Rangers, and while the right-hander was limited to 58 pitches, he fared well in a no-decision, limiting Texas to one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out two over five innings. Ginn will be rewarded with a second start, and he should be capable of giving the Athletics around 70-80 pitches Sunday.

Lee allowed four runs on four hits in just an inning of work in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jays. He struck out one.

With the Tigers down 2-0 entering the top of the ninth inning, Lee let things get out of hand with one of his worst outings of the season. The rookie righty started his campaign by posting a 2.05 ERA across his first 25 games, but he now has a 15.88 ERA over his last six appearances, getting tagged for multiple runs three times during the stretch. Fatigue is potentially becoming a factor for Lee, and the team could decide to send him back to Triple-A Toledo at some point for a reset.

Latz worked in relief in wins over Atlanta on Friday and Saturday, covering 1.1 innings between his two appearances while allowing one earned run on two hits and three walks.

Prior to his pair of relief appearances, Latz tossed five innings of one-run ball in a start against the Tigers on July 20, but he was never expected to receive multiple turns through the Texas rotation. The 29-year-old lefty has proven to be a dependable spot starter when called upon this season, but the Rangers aren't likely to have a permanent rotation spot available for him unless another starter succumbs to an injury. Even in that scenario, Jon Gray -- who was activated from the 60-day injured list earlier this week and moved to the bullpen -- might be the preferred option over Latz to fill any void in the rotation.

Vest (5-2) allowed two runs on three hits across an inning of relief to take the loss in Saturday's 6-1 defeat to the Blue Jays. He struck out one.

With the game scoreless through seven innings following a dazzling start by Tarik Skubal, Vest let things get away in the eighth. It was the first time the veteran righty had allowed more than one run in an appearance since June 15, and he had posted a stellar 0.96 ERA in nine games since then. Overall, Vest still has a solid 2.58 ERA across 45.1 innings this season to go along with 51 strikeouts, and he should be able to bounce back from the rough outing and get back to closing out games for the Tigers.

Miller (elbow) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Saturday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Miller said he felt good after the workout, which featured all fastballs thrown at about 80 percent, and the expectation is that he'll be ready to incorporate all of his pitches at a higher level of intensity in his next bullpen session Tuesday. The southpaw will need a rehab assignment as he works his way back from an elbow sprain, with the Giants anticipating his return from the 15-day injured list to come in the second or third week of August.

Seymour is likely lined up to pitch at least a couple of innings in Sunday's game against the Mets after opening pitcher Matt Gage exits the contest, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Between his 33 appearances at the Triple-A level and the majors this season, Gage has yet to pitch more than 2.2 innings, so he's unlikely to make it through the batting order once in his first career MLB start. San Francisco could call up a pitcher from the minors to provide another fresh arm, but based on how the team's bullpen currently looks, Seymour is the top candidate to cover bulk innings once Gage exits the game. Seymour has tossed six total innings over his three relief appearances in the majors this season but has been a full-time starter with Triple-A Sacramento, pitching to a 3.86 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 90:39 K:BB in 77 innings. The Giants have two openings in the rotation at the moment, so Seymour could make multiple starts or bulk-relief appearances for the big club.

Miller (forearm) threw a 16-pitch bullpen session Friday, MLB.com reports.

Miller was on a normal progression from the bullpen to live batting practice, but a live BP session July 22 was cut short due to lower-back tightness. There's no word on a next step for Miller, but Tuesday's minor setback likely means he won't be activated until early August.

Beeks (back) threw a 23-pitch live batting practice session Friday, MLB.com reports.

Beeks' live BP session follows two previous bullpen sessions. He's completed the 15-day minimum stay on the injured list and can be activated at any time, although a rehab assignment remains a possibility.

Cruz (3-1) earned the win Saturday against the Guardians. He allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out one over one inning.

Cruz found himself in a jam in the top of the 10th inning but limited the damage to one run and ultimately earned the win after Jonathan India walked it off in the bottom half of the frame. The reliever entered July with a 2.20 ERA and 0.92 WHIP over 32.2 innings but has struggled this month, posting a 6.14 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 7.1 innings. Despite the rough stretch, his season-long numbers remain strong, with a 2.93 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 40 innings, backed by a fastball that regularly touches 98 mph.

Diaz picked up the save in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Giants. He allowed one hit and no walks across a scoreless inning. He struck out one.

The closer gave up a one-out double to Jung Hoo Lee but bounced back to retire Mike Yastrzemski and Patrick Bailey, locking down his 22nd save of the season. Diaz's numbers in 2025 are beginning to resemble his monstrous 2022 campaign, when he posted a 1.31 ERA and 0.84 WHIP over 62 regular-season innings with 32 saves. This season, the right-hander holds a 1.51 ERA and 0.86 WHIP across 41.2 innings. While his fastball velocity is down slightly to a career-low 97.0 MPH (compared to 97.5 MPH in 2024), the small dip hasn't impacted his dominance on the mound.
