Davis joined the 40-homer club Sunday in Texas and is just one shy of 100 RBIs. Frank Thomas was the last Athletic to drive in 100 runs, in 2006, when he totaled 114.
Worth noting
• Sonny Gray (forearm) is set to throw to hitters in a simulated setting at the Coliseum on Saturday. Barring any issues, he could then be in line to make one more appearance before the season ends.
• Right-hander J.B. Wendelken is a candidate for Tommy John surgery, after an MRI revealed a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow, Melvin said.
