  • Athletics' Gage Jump: Struggles in ninth loss

    Jump (6-9) took the loss Monday, allowing seven runs on six hits and three walks over 4.1 innings against Texas. He struck out two.

    Jump worked a scoreless first inning but couldn't keep Texas off the board in any of the next four frames, departing at 91 pitches (53 strikes). The southpaw got off to a solid start in his big-league career but has hit a wall in the second half, compiling a 6.95 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 51:30 K:BB over 44 innings (nine starts) since the All-Star break. He'll take a 5.15 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 99:45 K:BB across 92.2 innings (18 starts) into his next outing, lined up for the weekend against Seattle.

  • Athletics' Brady Basso: Serving as opener Tuesday

    Basso will work as the opener for Tuesday's game against Texas, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Tuesday will mark the fourth time that Basso has been deployed as an opener this season. He struggled in his last opportunity, surrendering three runs on four hits over one inning Aug. 23 against Houston.

  • Athletics' Henry Baez: Shelved at Double-A

    Double-A Midland placed Baez on the 7-day injured list Aug. 5 due to an unspecified injury.

    Baez has hit the shelf on two occasions this season, with another injury costing him about five weeks of action earlier in 2026. The 23-year-old righty possesses a spot on the Athletics' 40-man roster, but he's not believed to be in the mix for a September call-up, especially while he's on the mend from another injury. Baez owns a 7.09 ERA and 1.73 WHIP across 53.1 innings over his 14 starts for Midland on the season.

  • Athletics' Donovan Walton: Taking seat Monday

    Walton is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

    After making starts in the middle infield for the final two games of the Athletics' weekend series versus the Orioles, Walton will hit the bench for the first of three contests in Arlington. Jeff McNeil will cover the keystone and Darell Hernaiz will draw the start at shortstop Monday.

  • Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Next start pushed back

    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.

  • Athletics' Lawrence Butler: Stays hot in Sunday's loss

    Butler went 1-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a walk in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Orioles.

    Butler opened the scoring with a two-RBI double in the first inning. The 26-year-old is riding an eight-game hitting streak and has driven in at least one run in seven games during that span. It's been a big August for the right fielder, who is slashing .296/.389/.510 with six homers, 17 RBI, 15 runs and four stolen bases in 27 contests this month. Overall, Butler is hitting .229/.327/.373 with 12 homers, 45 RBI, 53 runs and 10 stolen bases across 129 tilts.

  • Athletics' Brian Serven: Drives fifth homer

    Serven went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-5 loss to Baltimore.

    Serven went to the opposite field with a two-run homer in the third inning off Chris Bassitt. The catcher is hitting .231/.245/.519 with five homers, 14 RBI and seven runs across 53 plate appearances at the big-league level this season. With Shea Langeliers (knee) shelved, Serven has served as the backup to Jonah Heim behind the dish.

  • Athletics' Jeffrey Springs: Struggles continue in 13th loss

    Springs (3-13) took the loss Sunday, allowing seven runs on six hits and a walk over 4.2 innings against the Orioles. He struck out six.

    Springs' season-long struggles continued, as he served up three homers at Sutter Health Park, including two to Gunnar Henderson. The southpaw hasn't earned a win since April 14 and has posted a 7.80 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB in three starts spanning 14.2 innings since returning from the injured list due to right hip discomfort. With an overall 6.37 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 98:50 K:BB across 123 innings (25 starts), Springs is tentatively scheduled to pitch Friday against the Mariners.

  • Athletics' Lawrence Butler: Tallies 10th steal

    Butler went 1-for-3 with an RBI, a steal and two walks in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Orioles.

    Butler reached base three times, including an RBI walk in the sixth inning to get the Athletics on the board. After singling in the ninth frame, the outfielder stole his 10th base of the season. Butler has put together a strong August, slashing .295/.385/.505 with six homers, 15 RBI, 15 runs and four stolen bases across 26 tilts. Overall, he's hitting .228/.326/.371 with 12 homers, 43 RBI and 53 runs over 128 games.

  • Athletics' Jack Perkins: Takes 10th loss

    Perkins (3-10) allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and four walks while striking out five batters over five innings in a loss to Baltimore on Saturday.

    It was a bit of a tough-luck loss for Perkins given that he allowed only one earned run, but it wasn't exactly a masterful performance either since he walked four batters. That has been an issue for the right-hander of late -- he's issued nine free passes across his past two starts and has handed out three or more walks five times over his past 10 outings. Perkins is 1-7 during that span, so the lack of control isn't doing him any favors. He'll carry an ugly 6.42 season ERA into his next start, which is projected to be a road matchup against the Mariners.

  • Athletics' Zack Gelof: Records 10th steal

    Gelof went 2-for-4 with one RBI and one stolen base in Friday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Orioles.

    Gelof has gone 6-for-41 (.146) over his last 11 games. The utility man is up to 10 steals on the season, including two in that 11-game sample. He's added a .258 average, .775 OPS, 14 home runs, 38 RBI, 53 runs scored, 13 doubles and one triple over 84 contests this year. Gelof is primarily working at third base with some other starts coming in left field or at second base.

  • Athletics' Jonah Heim: Smacks homer in loss

    Heim went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Orioles.

    Heim had gone nearly a month without a homer, batting just .156 (12-for-77) during his 22-game power drought. His solo shot Friday got the Athletics on the board in the seventh inning. Heim is batting .210 with a .659 OPS, 12 homers, 41 RBI, 29 runs scored and 15 doubles over 84 contests this season and continues to see a starting role behind the plate since Shea Langeliers (knee) went out of the lineup in late July.
