Tanner Gordon limits Giants to one run

Backdating the IL assignment means Jump will be able to return the day after the season ends, which seems useful. Jump finishes off a promising rookie season 6-11 with a 5.47 ERA and a 108/46 K/BB in 98 2/3 innings. On another team, he’d be of interest in shallow leagues next spring. As a member of the A’s, he has one more year to go in a minor league ballpark before he’ll offer much in the way of upside.

Rock, claimed off waivers from the White Sox last month, will be making his A’s debut after allowing only one run and three hits in 10 1/3 innings out of the pen for Vegas. He has a 3.00 ERA and a 23/13 K/BB in 18 innings as a major leaguer with the Rays and White Sox.

McLain missed three games with left shoulder soreness. He’s batting seventh tonight against Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

Cairo, 25, joins the Mets organization after hitting .227/.378/.298 with 90 walks but just 20 extra-base hits in 516 plate appearances for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. His versatility would help make him an adequate 26th man, perhaps, but he doesn’t seem to have much potential beyond that.

That’s not good. Wells has been terrific in a setup role since being acquired from the Orioles, allowing only three earned runs in 18 innings. He ends the regular season with a 2.38 ERA in 72 innings overall. No word yet on whether the Rays think he might be back for the postseason, though at least they didn’t put him on the 60-day IL.

Cook will rejoin the pen. He’s gave up three earned runs over 3 2/3 innings in his three earlier stints in the majors.

Fraley is back from hernia surgery after hitting just .182/.308/.318 in 14 games for Triple-A Durham on a rehab assignment. He isn’t likely to return to the platoon role starting against righties that he had before getting hurt, but he’ll be available to pinch-hit and play defense. He batted .232/.300/.390 in 90 plate appearances before going on the IL in mid-May.

Piper got one start a couple of days after being recalled last month, but he had settled into third-catcher mode since, getting a total of three plate appearances since Aug. 22. He’s gone 2-for-9 with a homer and two walks overall in the majors this season.

It’s been mostly a lost year for Melton, a player the Rays were hoping would be their center fielder of the future when they gave up Brandon Lowe, Mason Montgomery and Jake Mangum to acquire he and Anderson Brito in last winter’s three-team trade with the Pirates and Astros. Melton ended up hitting .253/.346/.475 with 26 steals in 45 games for Durham in between injuries. He should get a chance to compete for a job in the spring, but considering that he’s never played more than 105 games in four full seasons since being drafted, he’s a little hard to trust at this point.

It’s easy to imagine the 29-year-old Grove going on waivers and getting claimed a few more times prior to the lockout in December. He should some promise as a reliever for the Dodgers before shoulder surgery, but the Rays didn’t see enough from him in seven innings since his return to believe keeping him was a priority. He’ll now likely finish out the year in the minors, as he won’t be postseason eligible for Atlanta.
