AB de Villiers and Morne Morkel will be available for their franchise, Titans, in a bid to prove their fitness for the home series against Sri Lanka later this month. Both de Villiers and Morkel have been out of action since the CPL with an elbow and back injury respectively, but are expected to be available for selection for the Test squad.De Villiers is in the final stages of recovery from elbow surgery which saw him miss the New Zealand Tests in August, the home ODIs and the three Tests against Australia. The Titans confirmed to ESPNcricinfo he will be available for the final two matches of their campaign, which will take place next week.Whether de Villiers gets game time could be crucial to his participation in the home summer, especially since South Africas selection convener Linda Zondi stressed he will need to be match fit before he can resume his national duties. De Villiers is expected to return as captain even though Faf du Plessis made a strong case to keep the role permanently following ODI and Test series wins over Australia.Morkel, who travelled with the Test squad to Australia but did not play a game because of concerns over match readiness, is available for T20s but has not been picked for Friday nights fixture against Warriors. With Titans at the top of the table and hopeful of securing their spot in the final, the management has chosen not to alter the team. A source also confirmed that Morkel has not been cleared to bowl longer spells, which could put his participation in the Tests in doubt.Meanwhile, Hashim Amla sustained a neck injury while fielding at slip during the final Test in Adelaide and will sit out the remainder of the T20 competition.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Athletics didnt show much spark at the plate until slugger Khris Davis slammed down his bat and helmet after striking out to end the seventh inning.After that, it was a completely different look for Oakland, an abrupt change that manager Bob Melvins ballclub has grown accustomed to making lately.Two days after breaking up no-hitter with four outs to go, the As were completely shut down until Joey Wendle hit a go-ahead single during a three-run eighth inning and Oakland rallied to beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 on Tuesday night.Its just kind of the ebbs and flows of the game, said third baseman Ryon Healy, who had two hits, including an RBI single. Whether we get 10 hits in the first five innings and lose or get whatever it was in the back half of the game and win, I dont really care how it happens. I just want to get a victory.The As didnt have a hit or a baserunner until one out in the sixth inning before their first five batters in the eighth reached.Healy, whose single broke up starter Ricky Nolascos bid for a perfect game, singled in Yonder Alonso before Wendle lined a hit to right to drive in pinch-runner Arismendy Alcantara and Marcus Semien.It was just the third career hit for Wendle, who was making his fourth start at second base after being called up from the minors on Aug. 31.We save our at-bats for when they really count, Melvin said.

Simmons doubled in Mike Trout, and Pujols scored on a sacrifice fly.MAKING PROGRESSAs starter Zach Neal allowed two runs over six innings in one of his best starts of the season. Neal, who struck out five and walked one in his longest stint of the year, bounced back following a rocky outing against the Red Sox.Hes had some really good efforts for us after what was a difficult start for him with us, Melvin said. He figured it out in the bullpen over a stretch and now hes got a lot more confidence.TRAINERS ROOMAngels: Matt Shoemaker was released from a Seattle-area hospital following emergency surgery after he was hit in the head by a line drive by the Mariners Kyle Seager on Sunday.
