Anthony went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's 6-5 win over Baltimore.

He's homered in two consecutive games and hit safely in all five contests since being activated from the IL. Anthony is 10-for-22 with two doubles, one triple, two home runs, two RBI and five runs scored during that scorching stretch.

Kade Morris RP | ATH
Athletics' Kade Morris: Chosen to start Friday's contest
The Athletics list Morris as their starting pitcher for Friday's contest in Seattle.
Morris will be making his second start for the Athletics, after he was bludgeoned for nine runs over four-plus innings versus the Astros in his major-league debut in June. All four of his appearances with the Athletics since then have been in relief, with the last one coming Saturday, when he yielded one run while throwing 35 pitches in two innings against the Orioles. Morris isn't stretched out enough to handle a full workload, so the Athletics will need several innings from their bullpen Friday.

Eli White CF | BOS
Red Sox's Eli White: Gets start in center field
White went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Orioles.
White got the start in center field with Ceddanne Rafaela nursing a quadriceps injury sustained in Wednesday's contest. It was just the eighth start for White since being acquired from Atlanta at the trade deadline. Rafaela will be closely monitored over the coming days, but his quad issue doesn't seem to be serious.

Scott Blewett RP | ATH
Athletics' Scott Blewett: Picks up first win
Blewett (1-0) earned the win in Thursday's 7-4 victory over the Mariners. He allowed two hits and no walks while striking out four over two scoreless innings.
With starter Jack Perkins lasting just three innings, Blewett entered in the fourth frame and delivered two scoreless innings, becoming the pitcher of record when the A's took the lead for good in the top of the fifth. Since being designated for assignment and traded by the Cardinals in late July, the right-hander has posted a 2.70 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 23.1 innings with the Athletics.

Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Scores twice in win

Guardians' Jo Adell: Scores twice in loss
Adell went 1-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
Adell, who was acquired by the Guardians at the trade deadline, has been helpful for a team that needed offense. He owns a .784 OPS with four home runs, seven doubles and 21 RBI across 26 games with Cleveland. Adell's never been known for his on-base skills, but his .336 OBP and 10.0 percent walk rate for the Guardians far outpace his career norms.

Zack Gelof 3B | ATH
Athletics' Zack Gelof: Contributes power, speed in win
Gelof went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional run and a stolen base in a 7-4 victory against the Mariners on Thursday.
Gelof got the scoring started with a solo homer off rookie Kade Anderson in the first inning. The utility man added a single and a steal in the fifth to round out a strong performance.

On the season, he's slashing .258/.325/.462 with 16 home runs, 59 runs, 40 RBI and 11 thefts through 348 plate appearances.
