Mitch Spence - Early exit in New York Spence allowed five runs on four hits over 2.2 innings in a no-decision Thursday against the Mets. He struck out one.

Impact Spence allowed a run on a wild pitch in the second inning before surrendering four runs in the fourth, highlighted by Mark Vientos' two-run homer. However, the A's would rally to overcome the 5-0 deficit, getting Spence off the hook in an eventual 7-6 win. The 26-year-old Spence hadn't allowed more than two runs in any of his previous four starts, posting a 2.78 ERA in that span (22.2 innings). Overall, he's 7-8 on the year with a 4.64 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 87:34 K:BB across 108.2 innings. Spence will look to get back on track in his next start, currently scheduled for next week at home against Tampa Bay.

Mason Miller - Locks down six-out save Miller earned the save in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Mets, allowing one walk while striking out three over two scoreless innings.

Impact Miller made quick work of the Mets in the eighth inning, setting them down in order while striking out a pair. Miller would return for the ninth where he'd face a bit more trouble, hitting Tyrone Taylor with a pitch before issuing a two-out walk to Jose Iglesias. However, he'd induce a flyout off the bat of Francisco Alvarez, stranding the tying and go-ahead runs on board, to seal the one-run A's victory. The 25-year-old Miller hasn't allowed a hit in four appearances (five innings) since returning from the IL. He's converted 18 of 20 save chances while posting a 1.97 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 114:32 K:BB across 79 innings this season.

Impact Wilson has been sidelined since straining his left hamstring in his major-league debut back on July 19, but he's progressed to the point that he's ready to play in games again. The young shortstop shouldn't need too many rehab at-bats before rejoining the Athletics' active roster. Wilson makes for a viable stash in fantasy leagues where he was dropped.

He'll find himself on the bench Thursday for the fourth time in five games, with the last two absences coming against left-handed pitchers and the first two coming versus righties. The Athletics will return everyday designated hitter Brent Rooker (personal) from the paternity list later this weekend, so Toro's outlook for playing time will likely only worsen in the coming days.
