Hartlieb was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Sunday, Jason Burke of Roundtable.io reports.

Hartlieb had his contract selected from Triple-A Las Vegas on July 18, surrendering four runs on six hits and six walks while striking out three batters over 4.2 innings in four appearances with the big-league club following his promotion. The team acquired right-handed reliever Scott Blewett from the Cardinals on Sunday, and he'll replace Hartlieb on the 40-man roster. If Hartlieb goes unclaimed on waivers, he'll likely report to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Soriano (9-6) earned the win Sunday, allowing one unearned run on three hits and three walks over five innings in a 4-3 win over San Francisco. He struck out five.

Soriano was lifted after five frames at 85 pitches (47 strikes), but he was able to keep the San Francisco offense quiet en route to picking up his first win since June 13. After a disastrous stretch on the mound during May and June, the right-hander has found his footing a bit in July, posting a 2.74 ERA and 0.96 WHIP across 23 innings (four starts), though his strikeout production has dipped a bit this month. Overall, Soriano owns a 3.29 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 127:57 K:BB across 123 innings (22 starts) and is tentatively scheduled to make his next start Saturday against Milwaukee.

Duran went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Mariners.

Duran plated a run with a sacrifice fly in the first inning before launching a 420-foot solo homer to left field in the eighth inning, though the Rangers were unable to muster a late-game comeback. The club has shifted the 27-year-old around the diamond defensively as needed, and his offensive production has remained consistent. In 96 games, Duran is slashing .271/.322/.447 with 11 homers, 55 RBI, 46 runs and seven stolen bases.

Arozarena went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Rangers.

After Dominic Canzone crushed a three-run homer to give the Mariners the lead in the seventh inning, Arozarena followed with a solo blast to push the club's advantage to 5-3. Sunday marked the left fielder's eighth game with three-plus hits this season. He's been a steady offensive presence all year, slashing .284/.379/.448 with 12 homers, 46 RBI, 65 runs and 19 stolen bases across 98 contests.

Canzone went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer, a double and an additional RBI in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Rangers.

Canzone rattled off three hits, with his most important one being a three-run homer in the seventh inning to put the Mariners ahead 4-3. The 28-year-old has had a tame July, slashing .219/.286/.391 with three homers, 12 RBI and five runs scored across 16 contests, but he has otherwise been among the club's top offensive performers this season. Overall, Canzone is hitting .260/.332/.512 with 16 homers, 46 RBI and 35 runs scored over 91 games.

Munoz picked up the save in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Rangers. He struck out three across a perfect inning.

Entering with a two-run cushion, Munoz made quick work of the Rangers in the bottom of the ninth, striking out the side in order to secure his 18th save of the season. The hard-throwing right-hander has been locked in since mid-June, riding a 13-inning scoreless streak with eight saves during the stretch. Overall, Munoz owns a 3.86 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 58:15 K:BB across 37.1 innings this season.

DeGrom did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on seven hits and no walks over five-plus innings against Seattle. He struck out four.

DeGrom fired off five frames of one-run ball before allowing a pair of singles to open the sixth frame, prompting the Rangers to pull him at 90 pitches (66 strikes) in favor of Robby Ahlstrom. Ahlstrom closed the inning with no damage to preserve a 3-1 advantage, though struggles from the relievers after him kept Texas and deGrom from picking up the win. The 38-year-old hasn't put up the elite numbers he's regularly produced throughout his big-league career, but the two-time Cy Young Award winner has still been plenty serviceable in 2026. DeGrom, who will likely finish July winless, will take a 7-6 record with a 3.67 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 132:24 K:BB across 110.1 innings (20 starts) into his next outing, lined up for next weekend on the road in Houston.

Gilbert did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings in a 6-4 win over the Rangers. He struck out four.

Gilbert wasn't at his best but was still serviceable, falling one out shy of recording a quality start. Known for his ability to generate whiffs, the right-hander's four strikeouts marked his fewest since May 4 and was just the fourth time he hasn't racked up at least five punchouts this season. The 29-year-old will take an 8-6 record with a 3.44 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 133:27 K:BB across 125.2 innings (21 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Twins.

Jobe (elbow) struck out four and allowed one earned run on two hits and two walks across four innings in a rehab start Saturday with Double-A Erie.

Jobe is now four starts into his rehab assignment and has thus far looked sharp in his comeback from Tommy John surgery, posting a 1.59 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB in 11.1 innings across stops with three affiliates. According to Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic, Jobe will next throw a bullpen session at Comerica Park before making another rehab start with Triple-A Toledo.

Perez went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 12-3 win over the Astros.

Perez hasn't been in the lineup since before the All-Star break, though he made an impact with his bat while coming off the bench Sunday. He took Miguel Ullola deep to left field in the eighth inning for his third career home run across 36 plate appearances. Despite flashing power in his limited sample in the majors, Perez has recorded just six hits and is striking out at a 38.9 percent clip.
