Ginn

Ginn had an average exit velocity against of 96 mph tonight, but only a 110-mph homer from Pete Crow-Armstrong and a 111-mph single from Moisés Ballesteros went for hits. That’s par for the course for Ginn lately, as he’s allowed eight hits over 22 1/3 innings in his last four turns. He’s 4-3 with a 2.74 ERA for the year, but it’s just going to be extremely difficult for a Sacramento starter to offer full-season value in shallow leagues. He’ll make his next start at home against the Brewers.

Ginn struck out four and walked three. He gave up 10 hard-hit balls, but the Yankees wound up with only four singles and no extra-base hits off him. Ginn improved to 3-3 with a 2.87 ERA. In spite of that, he remains of little interest in mixed leagues in a tough situation for pitchers. He’ll start in Houston next week.

After coming just three outs away from a no-hitter against the Angels on Monday, Ginn didn’t allow a knock in this one. It’s hard to give up hits when you can’t throw strikes, and Ginn allowed six free passes and also gave up one of his two runs after hitting Fernando Tatis Jr. with the bases loaded. He also struck out four, and Ginn’s stuff looked great. His command was just so bad it didn’t matter. He’ll try and harness his arsenal more effectively against the Yankees on Friday.

Ginn went from being three outs away from the first no-hitter in 2026 to a loser in the span of two batters. He was dominant over his first eight frames with eight strikeouts and just a walk allowed, but a single by Adam Frazier followed by a two-run blast from Zach Neto ended the night on a sour outcome. It’s also worth pointing out that the A’s didn’t score a run themselves until the ninth inning, so, yeah. Baseball. The ending wasn’t desirable, but it was another quality start from Ginn that sees his ERA dip to 2.98 on the season. He gets the Padres on Saturday.

Ginn gave up at least one hit each inning, but eight were singles and only four came on hard-hit balls. He induced a double play ball in the first, and the Cardinals went on to make outs on the basepaths in the fourth and sixth. Ginn, who opened 0-1 in five starts and three relief appearances, has pitched 14 innings with one earned run allowed while winning his last two starts. He’ll take his next turn in Anaheim against the Angels. It’s a two-start week, as he’ll also face the Padres on the road, but he’d make for a risky streaming pick.

Ginn allowed just three hits on the night while issuing only one base on balls. The only blemish on his day came on a solo home run off the bat of Kyle Schwarber in the fourth inning. Aside from that one pitch, he was brilliant. Ginn generated 10 swings and misses on 96 offerings in the contest, posting a CSW of 29 percent. He now holds a 3.62 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and a 31/15 K/BB ratio over 37 1/3 innings through his first nine appearances (six starts). He’ll try to keep the good times rolling when he squares off against the Cardinals on Wednesday.

Ginn left his last start with a stinger in his shoulder. He pitched on four days’ rest tonight anyway, but his velocity was down some and he just didn’t impress with his control or stuff. This leaves him with a 4.30 ERA in five starts and three relief appearances on the season. He’s slated to face the Phillies on Thursday, but we wouldn’t be too surprised if the A’s tried someone else.

Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said Ginn is on track to start later this week after leaving his previous outing over the weekend with a stinger in his right shoulder. There was some concern initially, but it sounds like he’s going to avoid a trip to the injured list.

Ginn suffered what A’s manager Mark Kotsay described as a “stinger” in his shoulder. The 26-year-old was pitching well prior to the injury with 3 1/3 scoreless innings. Kotsay said the team will have more information Tuesday, so fantasy managers considering Ginn — few though there may be — should be prepared.

Ginn worked 3 1/3 innings without allowing a run before exiting with a trainer. There should be more details on why Ginn was unable to continue before the end of Sunday’s contest, but he was replaced by Joel Kuhnel in the fourth inning.
