Rotoworld Player News

Alika Williams

ATH Shortstop #25

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Alika Williams (upper extremity) was held out of the Athletics’ starting lineup for Sunday’s season finale against the Astros.

There had been some hope that Williams would be able to return for Sunday’s finale, but he’ll miss his fourth consecutive game due to soreness in his upper extremities. Joshua Kuroda-Grauer will start in his place at shortstop and will bat seventh for the A’s.
Jack Perkins

ATH Relief Pitcher #50

Jack Perkins was tagged for six runs in five innings by the Astros in a loss Saturday.

Perkins struck out nine, but he gave up three homers along the way. He ends the year 3-13 with a 6.10 ERA in 17 starts and 20 relief appearances. The stuff is there to make him a potentially adequate fifth starter or a quality reliever, but he’s been handicapped by working in a minor league park more than half of the time since debuting in 2025.
Hogan Harris

ATH Relief Pitcher #36

Hogan Harris worked a scoreless ninth to earn a save against the Astros on Friday.

Harris issued a walk, but he worked around it by not allowing a hit and picking up a strikeout. He also picked up his 17th save of the season while seeing his ERA drop to 3.33. It wouldn’t be a huge surprise if he was tasked to close games again for the A’s in 2027.
Jacob Lopez

ATH Starting Pitcher #57

Jacob Lopez allowed just one run over six innings to earn a win over the Astros on Friday.

Baseball is so weird. A start after Lopez gave up a whopping 10 runs in 2 2/3 innings, Lopez allowed just a solo homer to Christian Walker and one other hit in one of the best starts of the 28-year-old’s career. There have been flashes of this from Lopez in his short career, but this was the closest we’ve seen to him putting it all together, much to the Astros’ dismay. Lopez still ends the year with a 5.47 ERA, and will need to win one of the final spot in the A’s rotation in the Cactus League come next spring.
Alika Williams

ATH Shortstop #25

Alika Williams (upper extremity) remains out of the Athletics’ starting lineup for Friday night’s battle against the Astros.

It’s the second straight game that Williams has missed due to upper extremity soreness. He’s still considered day-to-day. Donovan Walton will start in his place at shortstop and will bat sixth for the A’s against Astros’ ace Hunter Brown on Friday evening in West Sacramento.
Mason Barnett

ATH Starting Pitcher #63

Mason Barnett yielded four runs in six innings Thursday in a no-decision against the Astros.

Barnett struck out eight, matching his career high from a start against the Angels a year ago. The A’s, though, fell to 0-6 in his starts. Barnett ends the year with a 7.02 ERA and a 50/30 K/BB over 50 innings. It’s probably not going to be enough to keep him on the 40-man roster this winter.
Zack Gelof

ATH 3rd Baseman #20

Zack Gelof hit a pair of solo homers and walked versus the Astros on Thursday.

Gelof’s exit velocity numbers aren’t quite as impressive as his .259/.326/.484 line suggests, but he’s made enough progress this year to be penciled in at either second or third for the A’s next spring. Most importantly, he’s sporting a 24 percent strikeout rate, which is a huge improvement over his previous career mark of 33 percent.
Alika Williams

ATH Shortstop #25

Alika Williams was a late scratch from the Athletics’ starting lineup on Thursday due to upper extremity soreness.

It doesn’t sound like anything overly serious, but with just three games to go over the weekend it’s also no guarantee that the 27-year-old sees the field again this season. Joshua Kuroda-Grauer will start in his place at shortstop and bat eighth against Peter Lambert and the Astros on Thursday evening in West Sacramento.
Henry Bolte

ATH Center Fielder

Henry Bolte went 4-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored as the A’s bested the Angels 7-3 on Wednesday.

Bolte’s first four-hit game as a major leaguer put him at .279/.362/.407 through 455 plate appearances. His second double tonight left his bat at 115.1 mph, which is a new high for him. He previously topped out at 113.7 mph on a single against the Rays just last week.
Jeffrey Springs

ATH Starting Pitcher #59

Jeffrey Springs yielded three runs in 4 1/3 innings Wednesday against the Angels.

Springs entered the fifth with a 5-2 lead, but he wasn’t allowed to go for the win after hitting the second batter he faced. Geoff Hartlieb replaced him and allowed the runner to score before ending the inning. Springs finishes 4-14 with a 6.18 ERA and a 112/57 K/BB in 142 2/3 innings. He’ll be a free agent this winter after the A’s decline a $15 million club option.
