Athletics' Brett Harris: Activated, optioned to Triple-A
The Athletics reinstated Harris (oblique) from the injured list Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Las Vegas.
Harris landed on the injured list ahead of the season due to a strained left oblique that's been bothering him since the start of March. He began playing in rehab games at Las Vegas on Sunday, going 3-for-9 with two RBI and two stolen bases, and he'll officially remain in the minors now that he's fully healthy.

Athletics' Brett Harris: Begins rehab assignment
Harris (oblique) opened a rehab assignment at Triple-A Las Vegas and went 1-for-3 with a stolen base while playing seven innings at third base in a 9-4 loss to Reno.
Harris didn't play in any Cactus League games after Feb. 26 due to a left oblique strain that resulted in him opening the season on the 10-day injured list, but after he was recently able to take part in some simulated games at Athletics camp in Arizona, he was given the green light to head out on a rehab assignment. The 26-year-old may need only a few games at Triple-A to prove his health, but since he doesn't appear to have a path to a spot on Athletics' active roster at the moment, Harris could be optioned to Las Vegas once he's reinstated from the IL.

Athletics' Brett Harris: Lands on IL
The Athletics placed Harris (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
Harris strained his left oblique in early March and hadn't appeared in a spring training game since then. The Athletics haven't offered up a timetable for his return, but he'll most likely be sidelined for much of April. Harris hit .146 with three home runs and 12 RBI over 123 plate appearances over 36 games with the Athletics in 2024.

Athletics' Brett Harris: Battling oblique strain
The Athletics announced Tuesday that Harris is recovering from a left oblique strain, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
The injury explains why Harris hasn't appeared in a Cactus League game since Wednesday. While a timeline for Harris' return to game action hasn't been established, the oblique strain could effectively spell an end to the 26-year-old's bid for winning a spot on the Opening Day roster as a reserve infielder. Harris reached the big leagues for the first time in 2024, slashing .146/.276/.262 with a 14.2 percent walk rate and 20.3 percent strikeout rate over 123 plate appearances for the Athletics.

Athletics' Brett Harris: Window for playing time closes
Harris is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
Harris had started at third base in all but one of the Athletics' ensuing 14 games following his promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas on July 2, but his time as a regular in the Oakland lineup looks to be over. Abraham Toro (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list and will immediately reclaim starting duties at third base in Sunday's series finale against the Angels while Harris heads to the bench. Harris saw time at the keystone with Las Vegas earlier this season, but he doesn't have a path to playing time at that position either while Zack Gelof is entrenched as the top option.

Athletics' Brett Harris: On bench Friday
Harris is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.
Harris has been the Athletics' primary third baseman with Abraham Toro (hamstring) sidelined but could begin to split time with Max Schuemann at the hot corner now that top prospect Jacob Wilson is handling shortstop. Harris is slashing .163/.284/.302 with three home runs in 102 plate appearances.

Athletics' Brett Harris: Multiple hits in loss
Harris went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a run in a loss to the Phillies on Saturday.
Harris entered the night in a 1-for-14 skid that had encompassed his previous four games, but he snapped out of it with only the third multi-hit effort of his nascent 28-game big-league career. The rookie has continued to see everyday playing time, mostly at third base, despite his struggles, although he's yet to hit higher than eighth to this point.

Athletics' Brett Harris: First three-hit game of career
Harris went 3-for-4 with an RBI infield single, two doubles, a walk and three runs in a win over the Orioles on Saturday.
The rookie was a catalyst in the Athletics' 19-run outburst, driving in Armando Alvarez with his second-inning single and crossing the plate on three occasions thanks to his constant presence on the basepaths. Harris has reached safely in four of the first five games of his current big-league stint, and Saturday marked the first three-hit game of his young career.

Athletics' Brett Harris: Plates pair in return
Harris, recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas earlier in the day, went 1-for-4 with a two-run double and a run in a win over the Angels on Tuesday.
The rookie made an instant impact in his first big-league action since May 22, plating Lawrence Butler and Zack Gelof with his sixth-inning two-bagger to extend the Athletics' lead to 6-1. Harris finished the first big-league stint of his career earlier this season in an 0-for-14 funk that included a massive 43.8-percent strikeout rate, so his ability to break the ice at the plate on his first night back was a particularly welcome sight.

Athletics' Brett Harris: Returns to majors
The Athletics recalled Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.
Since being optioned to Triple-A in late May, Harris has slashed .366/.458/.659 with three homers and nine RBI in 11 games. He'll now get another chance to prove himself in the big leagues after the A's pushed Aledmys Diaz off their 40-man roster Tuesday. Harris started exclusively at third base during his previous stint with Oakland, where he'll now likely have to compete with Tyler Nevin for playing time until Abraham Toro (hamstring) returns from the IL.

Athletics' Brett Harris: Healthy again at Triple-A
Harris (undisclosed) has gone 4-for-8 with two solo home runs and two additional runs in two starts for Triple-A Sacramento since he was activated from the 7-day injured list Saturday.
Harris spent just under a month on the shelf while recovering from the unspecified injury. He's hitting .301/.415/.496 with five home runs and three stolen bases across 135 plate appearances for Las Vegas on the season.

Athletics' Brett Harris: Sidelined at Triple-A
Triple-A Las Vegas placed Harris on its 7-day injured list June 4 with an unspecified injury.
After a three-week stint in Oakland, Harris was optioned to Las Vegas on May 24. The 25-year-old quickly settled back into an everyday role with the Triple-A club, but he suffered an apparent injury in his fourth start since he rejoined the affiliate and was deactivated a few days later. He's without a clear timeline to return to the Las Vegas lineup.

Athletics' Brett Harris: Heads back to Triple-A
The Athletics optioned Harris to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.
Harris came up from the minors May 3 in hopes of landing a starting job at third base for the A's, but he will now return to Las Vegas after slashing .116/.291/.326 through 55 plate appearances to begin his MLB career. The 25-year-old infielder was finding consistent success in Triple-A before getting called up, and it's still possible he enjoys another stint with the big-league club if his bat returns to form with the Aviators. Miguel Andujar (knee) was activated off the injured list Friday to take Harris' roster spot.
