Rotoworld Player News

Tyler Soderstrom

ATH Left Fielder #21

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Tyler Soderstrom hit a solo home run in the Athletics’ loss to the Red Sox on Friday.

He provided one of two Athletics hits and all the scoring for his team in a messy 13-1 loss. It’s the lefty slugger’s first homer in his last seven games and second in his last 15, but he’s played about to expectations this year with a .245/.340/.467 overall line and 18 homers.
Jack Perkins

ATH Relief Pitcher #50

Jack Perkins lasted just three innings and gave up five runs in a loss to the Red Sox on Friday.

Perkins allowed six hard-hit balls and topped out at 96.4 mph, but he’s reliant on getting batters to chase and the Red Sox weren’t offering tonight. He’ll try to rebound next time out against the Rays.
Matt Sauer

ATH Relief Pitcher #64

Athletics signed RHP Matt Sauer to a minor league contract.

The 27-year-old hurler pitched for the KT Wiz in the Korea Baseball Organization this season, posting a 4.88 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and a 71/45 K/BB ratio across 101 1/3 innings of work. He’ll add extra pitching depth at Triple-A Las Vegas for the A’s.
David Forst

FA General Manager

Athletics fired general manager David Forst.

They announced it as a mutual parting of ways, Ken Rosenthal and the rest of baseball announced it as a firing. Regardless, the search for a new head of baseball operations in Sacramento will begin. Forst had been the GM since October 2015. The Athletics never advanced past the ALDS in that timespan, though they did win 97 games two years in a row in 2018 and 2019 before payroll constraints tore that team apart.
Ben Bowden

ATH Relief Pitcher #62

Athletics sent LHP Ben Bowden outright to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Bowden was designated for assignment on Tuesday, just a couple of days after being called up to the big leagues. The 31-year-old southpaw allowed four runs over one innings in his lone appearance with the A’s. He’ll continue to function as extra bullpen depth at the Triple-A level.
Brian Serven

ATH Catcher #64

Brian Serven hit a two-run homer against the Reds on Thursday.

Serven is slugging .625 this season but is just a backup behind Jonah Heim at this point. The 31-year-old veteran briefly gave the Reds a sweat in the top of the ninth with his two-run shot.
Mason Barnett

ATH Starting Pitcher #63

Mason Barnett struck out seven but allowed three homers and five earned runs against the Reds on Thursday.

He pitched into the fifth inning for the second time as a major leaguer, but left with the bases loaded and the Reds wound up cashing in two inherited runs by walking twice with the bases loaded against Elvis Alvarado. Barnett’s got decent enough stuff to succeed in this role -- he had a 31 percent Whiff rate and only allowed four hard-hit balls -- but if all the hard-hit balls go over the fence, it’s not ideal. He’ll try to bounce back against the Rays next week.
Lawrence Butler

ATH Right Fielder #4

Lawrence Butler is starting in right field and batting sixth against the Reds on Thursday.

Even against lefties, like today, Butler has been a fixture in the A’s lineup of late. Over his last 15 games, his slashing .295/.373/.568 with two home runs, nine runs scored, seven RBI and one steal. He may finally be getting healthy.
Zack Gelof

ATH 3rd Baseman #20

Zack Gelof (knee) went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored for Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Both of his hits were singles. We should also note that Gelof played center field in this one, which means he would likely return to the Athletics as an outfielder and could cut into playing time for Henry Bolte or Carlos Cortes, rather than take second base reps away from Donovan Walton.
Lawrence Butler

ATH Right Fielder #4

Lawrence Butler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Reds on Wednesday.

Butler’s home run was his seventh of the year. He hit a solo shot off Rhett Lowder in the first inning. Butler is now 8-for-27 (.296) with two home runs, six runs scored and four RBI in his last seven games.
