This is a good indication that he’s now a member of the team; however, we don’t yet know if it’s a major league deal or not. Floro had a poor stint in Arizona last year, pitching to a 9.37 ERA and 1.65 WHIP in 15 appearances after the trade deadline. However, he had a 2.06 ERA in 52 1/3 innings with the Nationals before the trade deadline and has been a solid reliever who could win a spot in the Athletics’ bullpen this season.

Mayo got the Orioles back into the game with a three-run homer off Jeffrey Springs that made it 5-4 A’s in the fourth inning. It gives Mayo his 19th homer in his first full season, and he’s driven in 55 runs. The .218 average leaves a lot to be desired, but Mayo’s power is readily apparent.

Bassitt didn’t pitch well, but didn’t have to with the Orioles giving him eight runs of offensive support. The right-hander allowed eight hits, walked three and struck put four while throwing 65-of-99 pitches for strikes. He’ll try and bounce back Friday against the Red Sox and take an ugly 4.97 ERA into that outing.

It’s the fourth time since 1954 that a Baltimore hitter has picked up two homers and a triple in the same game. Henderson also singled and scored three runs in an effort that is both encouraging as a reminder that the 25-year-old has upper-echelon talent, and frustrating because there just haven’t been close to enough games that even resemble this one. He is up to 22 homers on the campaign, but they come with a disappointing .715 OPS.

Caminero destroyed a fourth-inning solo shot off Robbie Ray, his 37th of the season. That ties Yordan Alvarez for the American League lead. There was a lot of offseason discussion about the Rays having played in a minor-league park when Caminero hit 45 homers a season ago. But he’s proving to be an annual 40-plus homer threat even at Tropicana Field. Kyle Schwarber and Shohei Ohtani are the only hitters with more home runs than Caminero over the past two seasons.

Rasmussen struck out six and walked two as the Rays went on to win 5-4 in 11 innings. The 31-year-old is up to 146 1/3 innings this season, putting him on track to blow past last year’s career high of 150. Tampa Bay will also play in the postseason, which could extend his total depending on how far they advance. Rasmussen’s 2.95 ERA in 2026 is right in line with his career 2.91 mark entering Sunday. He’ll draw a road matchup against the Rangers next time out.

Ray struck out four and walked three. He was in line for the victory until Mason Miller gave up a two-run homer in the ninth. The fly ball was in Samad Taylor’s glove before it went over the wall. The lone run Ray surrendered was a solo homer from Junior Caminero. The veteran lefty was acquired from the Giants at this summer’s trade deadline, and he’s now allowed two runs or fewer in four of his five starts with the Padres. He’s scheduled to face the Yankees at home next time out.

The fly ball traveled into the shallow left-field corner and was in Samad Taylor’s glove before going over the wall, tying the game at three. San Diego then took a one-run lead in the 11th before Tampa Bay scored two in the bottom half to walk it off. Miller struck out two in his lone inning without walking anyone. He has a career-high 32 saves already this year, along with one of the 10 highest K-BB rates among qualified relievers since 2010.

Bogaerts’ two-RBI single came on a hard-hit grounder against Drew Rasmussen in the top of the fourth. The 33-year-old also picked up his 18th steal, giving him a good chance to beat his previous career high of 20, set last season. The speed has been much needed from a fantasy perspective, as his batting average has collapsed to .217 this season. Bogaerts hasn’t hit below .260 since he was a 21-year-old in 2014. He also hasn’t batted in the upper half of San Diego’s lineup since the first series out of the All-Star break this year, a concerning development for a player signed through 2033.
