Rotoworld Player News

Tommy White

ATH 3rd Baseman

Tommy White went 3-for-4 with a solo home run on Wednesday against the Rays.

White got the Athletics going with his solo shot in the second inning, but couldn’t muster up much offense besides that. It was White’s third home run in what’s been a disappointing rookie campaign to go along with a .259 batting average and .618 OPS.
Brady Basso

ATH Relief Pitcher #66

Brady Basso allowed seven hits and four runs with zero walks and zero strikeouts across 2 2/3 innings in a loss to the Rays on Wednesday.

The Rays came out ready to swing it against Basso. Their first four batters of the game each put a ball in play that was hit at least 102 mph and had two runs on the board by the end of the inning. Two more runs in the second put Basso in the hole early and he didn’t even make it out of the third inning. This came after a few decent abbreviated starts though and he’ll have a chance to close his season on a high-note next week against the Angels at home.
Jack Perkins

ATH Relief Pitcher #50

Jack Perkins allowed one run (none earned) in 6 2/3 innings and got a no-decision against the Rays on Tuesday.

Perkins gave up four hits, walked one and struck out eight. He’s flashed strikeout upside lately with at least seven strikeouts in two of his last three starts. Perkins still has a 6.14 ERA overall and a 6.91 ERA as a starter. He’s lined up to face the Guardians on the road on Sunday.
Joshua Kuroda-Grauer

ATH Shortstop #44

Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (groin) will begin a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Kuroda-Grauer won’t make it back before the regular season concludes, but he’s expected to have a normal offseason and be ready for the start of next spring. That wasn’t a sure thing after he underwent surgery to address a ruptured testicle back in late July.
Shea Langeliers

ATH Catcher #23

Shea Langeliers is back DHing Tuesday against the Rays.

Langeliers didn’t start Sunday in his second game off the IL after knee surgery. He’s hitting third tonight, dropping Zack Gelof down to fifth. Max Muncy and Tommy White are both on the bench with the DH spot taken.
Gage Jump

ATH Starting Pitcher

Athletics placed LHP Gage Jump on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Sept. 13, with a left shoulder impingement.

Backdating the IL assignment means Jump will be able to return the day after the season ends, which seems useful. Jump finishes off a promising rookie season 6-11 with a 5.47 ERA and a 108/46 K/BB in 98 2/3 innings. On another team, he’d be of interest in shallow leagues next spring. As a member of the A’s, he has one more year to go in a minor league ballpark before he’ll offer much in the way of upside.
Joe Rock

ATH Starting Pitcher

Athletics recalled LHP Joe Rock from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Rock, claimed off waivers from the White Sox last month, will be making his A’s debut after allowing only one run and three hits in 10 1/3 innings out of the pen for Vegas. He has a 3.00 ERA and a 23/13 K/BB in 18 innings as a major leaguer with the Rays and White Sox.
Taylor Rashi

ATH Relief Pitcher #54

Athletics sent RHP Taylor Rashi outright to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Rashi went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment last week. The 30-year-old made one relief appearance for the Athletics after being claimed off waivers from the Twins.
Lawrence Butler

ATH Right Fielder #4

Lawrence Butler hit two homers, including a walkoff blast in the ninth, in the Athletics’ 8-7 win over the Mariners on Sunday.

Zack Gelof and Butler went back-to-back off Bryce Miller in the first. In the ninth, Gelof singled and then Butler homered off Andrés Muñoz, giving the A’s the win. It’s Butler’s fifth career two-homer game and first of this year. After a dismal first half, he’s hit .274/.354/.505 with 11 homers and 36 RBI in 54 games since the break.
Jacob Lopez

ATH Starting Pitcher #57

Jacob Lopez struggled through 3 2/3 innings against the Mariners on Sunday, giving up five runs.

Lopez allowed six hits and walked three before departing in the fourth. He’s given up nine runs in his last two starts after allowing only 15 runs and 13 earned in his previous nine starts. He’ll likely make his next start Saturday against the Guardians.
