Rotoworld Player News

Jack Perkins

ATH Starting Pitcher #50

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Athletics optioned RHP Jack Perkins to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Perkins failed to land a spot in the Athletics’ bullpen mix this spring after posting a 4.00 ERA and 7/7 K/BB ratio across nine innings of work in Cactus League action. The unheralded 26-year-old compiled a solid 4.19 ERA — 3.63 xERA — and 37/18 K/BB ratio over 38 2/3 innings in the big leagues last year.
Gunnar Hoglund

ATH Starting Pitcher #53

Athletics placed RHP Gunnar Hoglund on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to March 22, with a right knee sprain.

Hoglund missed time earlier in camp with a back issue after ending last year on the injured list with a knee sprain. The 26-year-old righty will likely head to Triple-A Las Vegas once he completes a rehab assignment.
Michael Stefanic

ATH 2nd Baseman #16

Michael Stefanic went 3-for-3 with two doubles and a walk as the A’s came back to beat the White Sox 10-9 on Monday.

The White Sox took a 7-0 lead in a game in which the A’s pulled their regulars after two, but the minor leaguers combined to scored nine times between the fourth and fifth to pull this one out. Stefanic, who was cut from the spring roster a week ago, finishes up the Cactus League season with a .500/.565/.725 line and nine RBI in 44 plate appearances. He’ll probably be in line for a look if an infielder gets hurt.
Luis Morales

ATH Starting Pitcher #19

Luis Morales allowed three runs and four walks in 2 2/3 innings against the White Sox on Monday.

Morales walked three of the first four batters he faced and then gave up a bases-loaded double to Lenyn Sosa, at which point he was lifted. He came back out for the second and retired six of seven through the third before being removed for good. Morales, who will face the Jays on Sunday, concludes the spring with a 7.58 ERA and a 17/14 K/BB in 19 innings. He was rather impressive for the A’s last season, but he doesn’t make sense as a starter in shallow leagues right away.
Cooper Bowman

TB 2nd Baseman #53

Rays acquired INF Cooper Bowman from the Athletics for RHP Gerlin Rosario.

Bowman was shipped back to the Athletics last spring after failing to make Cincinnati’s season-opening roster as a Rule 5 pick. The 26-year-old infielder hasn’t appeared in the big leagues since getting into 11 games for the Athletics back in 2024. He bolsters Tampa Bay’s organizational depth at Triple-A Durham heading into the season.
Gerlin Rosario

ATH Relief Pitcher

Athletics acquired RHP Gerlin Rosario from the Rays for INF Cooper Bowman.

Rosario put up some solid numbers last year in the lower minors with a 2.27 ERA and 43/18 K/BB ratio across 47 2/3 innings for High-A Bowling Green. The 24-year-old is a lottery ticket pickup for the Athletics.
Luis Morales

ATH Starting Pitcher #19

Luis Morales will start opening weekend against the Blue Jays.

We know that Luis Severino was going to be the Opening Day starter, but the Athletics have now said that Jeffrey Springs will start on Saturday against the Blue Jays and Luis Morales will start on Sunday. Morales hasn’t had the best spring training, but did post a 3.14 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 43/18 K/BB ratio across 48 2/3 innings over 10 appearances (nine starts) with the Athletics last season. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues could add him for this weekend’s start, even to keep him on your bench and get a quick look to decide whether or not you want to hold him through the first waiver period on Sunday night or not.
Colby Thomas

ATH Right Fielder #32

Athletics optioned OF Colby Thomas to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Thomas, 25, hit .239/.250/.435 in his 20 games of Cactus League action, and he’ll head to Triple-A to get regular playing time. There’s a pretty good chance Thomas will be up whenever the A’s need outfield help.
Brent Rooker

ATH Right Fielder #25

Brent Rooker hit a two-run homer in a loss to the Rockies on Sunday.

Rooker probably did enough this spring to make the A’s. The 31-year-old has gone deep five times in the Cactus League with a .761 slugging percentage. It won’t be an upset at all if Rooker is a top ten outfielder in 2026.
Jeffrey Springs

ATH Starting Pitcher #59

Jeffrey Springs worked three scoreless frames in a spring start Sunday versus the Rockies.

Springs was lit up in his early spring outings, but pitched well to finish the Cactus League campaign. The 33-year-old will pitch near the top of the A’s rotation to open 2026, but he’s a streaming option until proven otherwise.
