9 months agoOakland Athletics starting pitcher
Hogan Harris earned his second victory of the season with a strong performance versus the Houston Astros on Monday. Harris tossed 6 2/3 scoreless innings, while allowing seven hits, two walks and striking out seven. The performance lowered his ERA to 2.98 on the season. Despite his low ERA, his xERA of 5.56 and FIP of 4.53 suggest that a big regression is coming soon. On a team that doesn't win much with data to suggest that his best days are behind him, Harris can safely remain on the waiver wire for most contests. Next up for Harris will be a favorable matchup versus the division rival Los Angeles Angels.

9 months agoOakland Athletics left-hander
Hogan Harris is back from the paternity list and will make the start on Friday in Philadelphia against the Phillies. Harris went on the paternity list on Tuesday but is now back after missing the last three days to make his final start before next week's All-Star break. The 27-year-old southpaw will be on six days of rest, and even though he's been decent with a 3.22 ERA in nine outings (seven starts) over 44 2/3 innings this year in his second season in the big leagues, he has a 4.63 FIP, 1.34 WHIP and an unattractive 18.3% strikeout rate. On the positive side, he's gone at least five innings in six of his last seven outings. Harris isn't a bad streaming option in AL-only leagues, but he should be avoided on Friday against one of the best lineups in baseball in the Phillies.

10 months agoThe Oakland Athletics recalled left-hander
Hogan Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday and placed left-hander
Kyle Muller (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to May 27) with left-shoulder tendonitis in a corresponding move. Harris is making the spot start for the A's on Thursday in the series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 27-year-old southpaw will be making his first start of the year for the A's and only his seventh career big-league start after making six starts in his rookie year in 2023. In his two relief outings for the A's in 2024, Harris has allowed four earned runs on eight hits while walking three and fanning eight in 8 2/3 relief innings. He wasn't particularly effective as a starter in Vegas and has a 6.78 career ERA in the majors in 71 2/3 innings, so Harris is a streaming option to avoid on Thursday.

11 months agoOakland Athletics pitching prospect
Hogan Harris was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday after the A's placed starter
Joe Boyle on the IL with a lower back strain. Harris had a brief debut with the A's in 2023 that was mostly forgettable, with a 7.14 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, and 9.9% K-BB% over 14 appearances (six starts, 63 IP). Triple-A in 2024 has gone worse for the 27-year-old, posting a 9.00 ERA in six starts, allowing five home runs, a 20:21 BB:K, and an ugly 1.95 WHIP. At this point, Hogan has not been announced as a starter for any of the Athletics' upcoming games, and the A's do have a doubleheader Wednesday, but Hogan will likely be used for long relief anyway. Regardless, as far as fantasy is concerned, you're staying away.
