Heaney (1-2) was charged with the loss against the A's on Friday after surrendering five runs on six hits and a pair of walks while striking out six across 4.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Most of Heaney's damage came in the first inning on a home run to Marcus Semien and a two-run double to Stephen Piscotty. From there, the 29-year-old held the A's in check until he unraveled again in the fifth inning, during which he gave up back-to-back doubles to Mark Canha and Matt Olson before he was replaced with Mike Mayers. Heaney has now allowed four or more earned runs in three consecutive starts. He'll look to bounce back Wednesday at Houston.

Heaney didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's contest against the Dodgers. He gave up four runs on five hits and four walks while fanning six across 5.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Heaney tied season-high marks for innings pitched, walks and strikeouts, but he was fortunate to come away unscathed after allowing nine baserunners and four runs. He has allowed four or more earned runs in back-to-back starts and will try to bounce back ahead of his upcoming start Aug. 20 at San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis
After allowing just one run through three innings, things unraveled for Heaney in the fourth. He coughed up four runs on five hits (four hits were singles) before getting yanked. Heaney's season ERA jumped from 2.35 to 4.26 with the rough outing. He'll get a home matchup with the local rival Dodgers on Saturday.

Heaney (1-0) earned the win Tuesday against the Mariners. He gave up one run on three hits and four walks while fanning three across 5.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Heaney came just one out away from posting what would've been his first quality start of the season, but he is yet to give up more than two runs in any of his first three outings. His next start is slated for Aug. 9 on the road against the Rangers.

Heaney took a no-decision during Wednesday's loss against the Angels despite giving up two runs on five hits and a walk while fanning six across five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Heaney departed the game in the top of the sixth after walking J.P. Crawford, and reliever Mike Mayers gave up five runs while recording just two outs. Despite that, Heaney delivered a strong performance on the mound, and his next chance to start will come Aug. 5 on the road against Seattle once again.

Heaney took a no-decision during Friday's loss despite holding the A's to one run on two hits while striking out six across 4.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Aside from giving up a solo home run to Ramon Laureano in the fourth inning, Heaney kept Oakland's bats relatively quiet as he made his first career Opening Day start. The southpaw had been dealing with some back tightness Saturday but seems to be doing just fine. Heaney posted a 4.91 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across 95.1 innings last season, striking out 118 batters while ceding 20 homers.

Heaney says his back is fine and he is ready to start Opening Day in Oakland, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
He dealt with some back tightness Saturday but said Sunday that he is fine physically. The Athletics ranked fourth in the majors with a 115 wRC+ against left-handed pitchers in 2019, so this is not an ideal matchup for Heaney on Opening Day.

Heaney didn't pitch during Saturday's intrasquad game as scheduled after waking up with some back stiffness, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander still completed a bullpen session, so the issue doesn't appear to be overly concerning. Heaney is set to start Opening Day against the Athletics on Friday, and there's been no indication his availability for that contest is in jeopardy.

Heaney completed five innings in an intrasquad game Sunday, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out five. He threw 82 pitches.
EDGE Analysis
Heaney was relatively solid in his second intrasquad start of summer camp. The most important takeaway from his performance is his inning and pitch count, both of which increased over his previous appearance. Heaney is slated to start one more intrasquad game before taking the mound for the Angels on Opening Day.
