Berrios (9-9) took the loss against the Yankees on Saturday, allowing six runs (five earned) on seven hits and three walks with six strikeouts over five innings.

The velocity on each of Berrios' offerings was at least one mph above his season averages, but he was burned by three two-run homers. The 30-year-old trails only Kutter Crawford with 25 long balls allowed this season, and he has yielded four earned runs or more in six of his past 10 starts. On the year, Berrios owns a 4.11 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 103:42 K:BB across 135.2 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Athletics next week.

Rodon yielded a solo homer in the first inning and was responsible for two more runs after being pulled at 106 pitches in the sixth. His fastball velocity was about one mph above his season average, and he accumulated 13 swinging strikes on the pitch while throwing it 61 times. The southpaw has won three consecutive contests and now owns a 4.37 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 137:38 K:BB across 125.2 innings this season. He'll try to earn his fourth straight victory against the Rangers next week.

However, the A's haven't specified how many appearances they want the 30-year-old to make with Las Vegas.

Miller has been throwing bullpen sessions while wearing a cast on his non-throwing hand, though Saturday marks the first time he's done any sort of throwing without a cast. The 25-year-old is slated to pitch a simulated game Monday, which will help the A's determine how far away he is from returning to their bullpen.
