Ginn (undisclosed) has made minimal progress in his recovery and may not pitch again this season, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
The A's pushed Ginn back from his most recent start and will send him to see an orthopedist Saturday to get a better read on the right-hander's condition. So far, the team has not provided specifics beyond fatigue and soreness. Ginn has not yet been placed on the injured list, but it sounds like that could happen in the coming days.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Lands on 15-day IL
Rotowire
The Athletics placed Ginn on the 15-day injured list Saturday due a right elbow impingement.
Ginn last pitched Aug. 26 and had his following start scratched due to what was initially described as fatigue and soreness. The A's provided more clarity about the injury Saturday, and Ginn's move to the IL means he's not eligible to return until Sept. 20. Given the nature of the injury and the fact the A's aren't in playoff contention, it's possible that Ginn's 2026 campaign has come to an end, but the team is "leaving the door open" for him to make one more start this season, according to Martin Gallegos of MLB.com.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Dealing with soreness
Rotowire

The right-hander won't pitch at all during the team's four-game series in Seattle, and the A's haven't made a decision on a potential stint on the injured list for Ginn.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Next start pushed back
Rotowire
Ginn will no longer start Tuesday's game against the Rangers, as the Athletics want to give him additional rest before his next outing, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Ginn has already logged a career-high 138.1 innings this season, so the decision to push him back could simply be about managing his workload. The right-hander is expected to make a start later this week in Seattle, though the exact date hasn't been revealed.

Rotowire
Ginn (9-8) allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings to earn the win over the Twins on Wednesday.
Ginn got off to a rocky start, allowing three runs over the first two innings, but the Athletics' surge on offense in the sixth put him in line for the win.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Fades in sixth inning
Rotowire
Ginn (8-7) allowed four runs on eight hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over six innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Rangers.
Ginn had allowed just one run through five frames, but he faded in the sixth. Wyatt Langford's two-run home run ultimately cost Ginn not only a chance at the win but also took him out of contention for a quality start. Ginn has allowed 10 runs (eight earned) over 18 innings since he returned from a finger blister. On the year, he has a 3.53 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 114:53 K:BB through 127.1 innings over 25 games (22 starts). His next outing is projected to be on the road in Kansas City.

Rotowire
The Athletics activated Ginn (finger) from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Reds.

The right-hander is coming off one of his better starts of the campaign, as he allowed just one hit with seven strikeouts and three walks over 6.1 scoreless frames his last time out versus the Nationals.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Rejoining rotation Tuesday
Rotowire
Ginn (finger) will be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game at Cincinnati, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander landed on the shelf due to a blister after his first start coming out of the All-Star break, but he's ready to rejoin the big-league rotation after throwing a bullpen session Saturday. Even with an eight-run blowup versus the White Sox on July 12 inflating his numbers, Ginn has 6-3 record with a 3.72 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 52:26 K:BB in 55.2 innings across his past 10 starts.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Slated for another bullpen Saturday
Rotowire
Ginn (finger) is scheduled to throw a bullpen Saturday and could rejoin the Athletics' rotation next week if all goes well, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Ginn has been sidelined since July 22 due to a blister on his right middle finger but is trending toward a short stay on the injured list. He threw bullpens Monday and Wednesday with no issues, and if no setbacks arise during Saturday's session, the right-hander could slot back into the Athletics' rotation as soon as Tuesday against the Reds. Ginn has put together a respectable campaign, posting an 8-6 record with a 3.46 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 100:49 K:BB across 109.1 innings (22 appearances).
Ginn (finger) threw a bullpen Monday and is scheduled to throw another one Wednesday, per MLB.com.
Ginn landed on the injured list last week due to a blister on his right middle finger, but he shouldn't remain shelved much longer. The right-hander is eligible to return Aug. 3, and provided he comes out of Wednesday's session with no issues, the 27-year-old could reclaim his spot in the rotation as soon as Aug. 4 against the Reds. In 109.1 innings (22 appearances) this season, Ginn owns an 8-6 record with a 3.46 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 100:49 K:BB.
The Athletics placed Ginn on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a blister on his right middle finger.
Though the injury appears to be a minor concern for Ginn that could allow him to return from the shelf when first eligible Aug. 3, it's nonetheless a frustrating development after he had delivered a gem of an outing his last time out Saturday. In that start, Ginn improved to 8-6 on the season and lowered his ERA to 3.46 and his WHIP to 1.22 while striking out seven batters and limiting the Nationals to one hit and three walks across 6.1 innings. The Athletics recalled righty Mason Barnett from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move, and he could be a candidate to enter the rotation the next time Ginn's turn comes up this weekend in Minnesota.
Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Teases no-no in easy victory
Rotowire
Ginn (8-6) earned the win over Washington on Saturday, allowing one hit and issuing three walks while striking out seven batters over 6.1 scoreless innings.
The A's jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, and Ginn hit cruise control from there. He didn't allow a hit until the seventh frame, when Keibert Ruiz stroked a single to center field with one out. Manager Mark Kotsay decided that would be the final batter of Ginn's outing despite the fact that the hurler was at only 82 pitches. Though he fell short of etching his name in the history books, Ginn rebounded nicely from the eight-run, 4.1-frame blowup he posted against the White Sox in his final start of the first half. Even including that mauling, Ginn has nice numbers overall, posting a 3.46 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 100:49 K:BB over 109.1 innings spanning 22 appearances (19 starts).

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Tagged for career-high eight runs
Rotowire
Ginn (7-6) took the loss Sunday against the White Sox, allowing eight runs on six hits and three walks while striking out seven over 4.1 innings.
Ginn's outing unraveled quickly after Sam Antonacci launched a leadoff homer to spark a six-run first inning for Chicago. The right-hander did finish the outing with seven strikeouts and retired nine straight batters at one point, but a single and a walk to begin the fifth ended his afternoon, and Chicago tacked on three more runs following the exit, leaving him charged with a career-high eight earned runs. Despite Sunday's rough outing, Ginn was reliable for much of the first half, posting a 3.67 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 93:46 K:BB across 103 innings, and he will have the opportunity to bounce back after the All-Star break.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Looks ready to roll for Sunday
Rotowire
The Athletics list Ginn (illness) as their scheduled starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Jason Burke of Roundtable.io reports.
Ginn had to be lifted from Tuesday's outing versus the Tigers due to illness, but it seems he is recovered and ready to take the ball this weekend for his final start of the first half. The right-hander has authored a 3.10 ERA and 86:43 K:BB over 98.2 innings covering 17 starts and three relief appearances for the Athletics this season.
