Latest news and updates about the Athletics
The A’s are ruling Tyler Soderstrom out for the season. Manager Mark Kotsay told reporters that the outfielder will undergo left hip surgery on Friday (link via Robert Falkoff of MLB.com). Soderstrom has battled a hip impingement dating back to late June. He had a minimal IL stay, came back for five weeks, then was shut […]
The boyz are back, baby!!!! Jac, Vinnie, Maikel, Bob, everyone’s here—on offense, as it were. Yesterday, they scored a bunch of runs. It was delightful. Today, they will need to score a bunch of runs. The Royals are inexplicably sticking Daniel Lynch IV in the rotation. Lynch’s career splits are super obvious: as a starter, […]
UPDATE: New starter tonight as lefty Brady Basso will get things started. One would assume this is merely going to be an opener assignment while Perkins handles the bulk this evening. The team will also swap Gelof and Muncy, with Gelof DH’ing while Muncy handles left field. The A’s dropped their first game in Kansas […]
Welcome to Tuesday A’s fans! The club can’t seem to get things right, even against a fellow bottom dweller like the Kansas City Royals. At 49-76 the team is tied with the Angels for the worst record in the sport. We need a win tonight or else we could be all alone at the bottom […]
The Athletics struck first, a Jeff McNeil homer on the first pitch of the game, to go ahead against Michael Wacha right at the start. But the Royals roared back, scoring in five separate innings, to win the game 9-5 in Vinnie Pasquantino and Maikel Garcia’s return from the injured list. The two returning players […]
The Mariners are signing utility player Andy Ibáñez to a minor league contract, reports Francys Romero. He’ll presumably go to Triple-A Tacoma once the deal is finalized. Ibáñez is on his third organization of the season. He opened the season with the A’s and batted .118 in 11 games before being designated for assignment in […]
The Athletics began the week with a Monday night matchup against the Kansas City Royals in the first game of this four-game series. The A’s dropped the series opener 9-5 in another game where a poor performance from the Green and Gold’s starting pitcher’s put them in an unrecoverable hole. The team’s offense battled back […]
With another Athletics player landing on the IL, the Twins have the perfect opportunity to get back on track in Sacramento next week.
The vagabond Athletics will make their annual journey to Kansas City for the home series this week. They stand at 49-75. Heading into July, FanGraphs playoff odds had them about equal to the Astros for making the playoffs. They have had some truly unfortunate injury issues, with Nick Kurtz and Shea Langeliers both on the […]
This past weekend, the Athletics finished the homestand on a positive note, winning two of three games against the Texas Rangers for their first series victory at Sutter Health Park since the end of May. The A’s will look to carry that momentum into this roadtrip, which begins tonight with the first of a four-game […]
The Athletics had three consecutive 90+ loss seasons, but appeared to be improving with a 76-win season last year built on a core of solid hitters like Brent Rooker, Nick Kurtz, Shea Langeliers, Tyler Soderstrom, Lawrence Butler, and Jacob Wilson. They got off to a good start and were at .500 in mid-June before injuries […]
Welcome to another week A’s fans! The recent homestand went so-so as the A’s first got swept by the Rays before winning a series against the Rangers. Considering Texas is in our division if we were going to win a series it’s good we won the divisional matchup. Now the club is back on the […]

The A’s managed to win their second series of the second half on Sunday afternoon with their win against the Rangers. Texas could only manage two runs against the Athletics today while the short-handed offense managed to show up for 13 hits and five runs. And thanks to the Angels’ day off we are no […]
The Texas Rangers scored two runs but the Northern California Athletics scored five runs. Austin Wynns was the designated hitter for the Texas Rangers today. That pretty much tells you everything you need to know. Player of the Game: Jake Burger hit a solo home run and had three of Texas’ seven total hits. Up […]
Prior to today’s game with the Rangers, the Athletics announced that Tyler Soderstrom has been placed (retroactive to August 15) on the 10-day injured list due to a left hip impingement.

Good morning A’s fans! The series finale is this afternoon as the A’s will look again for win #49 this year. The late collapse last night sent the Athletics into sole possession of last place in all of baseball so the club will need to get the win and get a bit of help if […]

Texas will try to make a disappointing road trip a little less disappointing this afternoon. There’s a lefty on the mound for the A’s, so the righthanded-heavy lineup is being utilized. […]
The Athletics announced this afternoon that they’ve claimed left-hander Joe Rock off waivers from the White Sox. They quickly optioned him to Triple-A Las Vegas. To clear a 40-man roster spot for Rock, the team transferred right-hander Justin Sterner to the 60-day injured list. The White Sox designated Rock for assignment two days ago after […]
Athletics manager Mark Kotsay provided an unfortunate update on injured right-hander Luis Severino yesterday. Kotsay told reporters, including Martín Gallegos of MLB.com, that he doesn’t expect Severino to pitch again this season, as there is not enough time in his throwing program to fully build up. Severino hit the 15-day injured list at the end […]
