Kaprielian

Kaprielian has been assigned to Triple-A Buffalo. The 30-year-old was outrighted off the Athletics roster in October and became a free agent at the end of the year, and has been recovering from shoulder surgery he underwent that August. He’ll get a chance to work in Triple-A to show if he can possibly help the Blue Jays staff before the end of the 2024 season.

Kaprielian has been jettisoned from Oakland’s 40-man roster and went unclaimed on waivers. The 29-year-old right-hander doesn’t have the ability to elect free agency at this stage of his career and is unlikely to be ready at the outset of next season after undergoing right shoulder surgery back in early August. There is no timetable for his return at the moment.

Nothing has changed in Kaprielian’s recovery timeline — he underwent season-ending shoulder surgery in early August. This was done as a procedural move to free up a spot on the team’s 40-man roster for Spencer Patton.

Kaprielian underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a labrum injury in his right shoulder. There is no timetable for his return, so it sounds like he could wind up missing time at the outset of the 2024 campaign.

Kaprielian visited Dr. Neal ElAttrache after throwing a bullpen session on July 20 and, after the examination, was shut down from all throwing activities. The 29-year-old has been on the injured list since late June with a right shoulder strain. He remains without a timetable to return to the Athletics starting rotation.

Kaprielian has been out since late June due to a right shoulder strain and received a cortisone injection earlier this month. The 29-year-old righty should progress to facing hitters and a then a minor league rehab assignment in early August.

The 29-year-old hurler has been shelved since the end of June due to a right shoulder strain. The A’s are hopeful that this injection will help to promote healing, but at this time there are no plans for him to resume throwing.

The 29-year-old hurler sustained the injury during last week’s start against the Blue Jays. It’s not yet clear how long exactly he’ll be sidelined. In 14 appearances (11 starts) on the season, Kaprielian has registered a 6.34 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and a 57/31 K/BB ratio across 61 innings of work.

Kaprielian came up two outs short of a third straight quality start, but he lowered his ERA to 2.59 this month. He’s turned things around nicely after a horrible start that saw him lose his rotation spot just two weeks into the season.

The right-hander walked three and struck out four batters in the ballgame. He actually held the Rays scoreless through the first five innings of this one, before serving up a three-run homer to Jose Siri in the sixth. Kaprielian got 13 whiffs on 93 pitches in the ballgame, while registering a stellar CSW of 34 percent. He’ll look to further improve upon his 6.89 ERA and 1.71 WHIP when he takes on the Phillies on Saturday.
