Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Pitches out of bullpen Monday
Rotowire
Ginn struck out five over three scoreless innings in a relief appearance Monday against the Astros.
The Athletics didn't reveal what role Ginn would take on when they activated him from the 15-day injured list prior to Monday's contest, but it appears he will work out of the bullpen for now. With Ginn operating in a relief role, Jacob Lopez should remain in the A's rotation for the time being.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Activated from injured list
Rotowire
The Athletics activated Ginn (quad) from the 15-day injured list Monday.
Ginn missed almost a month of action with a strained quad. The Athletics have not revealed whether Ginn will rejoin the rotation or be used in the bullpen. The club has not announced starters beyond the firs game Monday of its four-game set against the Astros, so Ginn could theoretically slot into the rotation any of those days.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Makes second rehab start
Rotowire
Ginn (quadriceps) struck out five batters and allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits and three walks across 3.1 innings in a rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Las Vegas.
Ginn tossed 72 pitches (42 strikes) in his second rehab outing with Las Vegas since landing on the 15-day injured list May 20 due to a strained right quad. The Athletics haven't confirmed Ginn's next steps, but the right-hander could be ready to return from the IL as soon as Monday versus the Astros. Jacob Lopez or Mitch Spence are most at risk of falling out of the rotation when Ginn returns.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Rehab stint on tap
Rotowire
Ginn (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A Las Vegas, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander landed on the shelf May 20 due to a quadriceps strain, but he's been cleared for game action and will pitch in a minor-league game this week. Ginn returned from the injured list May 19 after missing most of the previous month due to an elbow issue, so the A's could look to get him a couple starts in the minors before activating him this time around.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Throwing again
Rotowire
Ginn (quadriceps) was cleared to resume throwing shortly after landing on the 15-day injured list May 20, but he's without a clear target date for being activated, MLB.com reports.
Ginn is eligible to come off the IL on Wednesday, and though it's unclear if he'll be ready to go by that date, the Athletics don't believe he'll need too much time beyond then before returning to action. While Ginn has been on the shelf, Jacob Lopez has stepped in to fill his spot in the rotation, making two starts and producing an 8.31 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 8.2 innings.
The Athletics placed Ginn on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right quad strain.
Ginn made his return from elbow inflammation Monday but struggled in his first start back to the tune of four runs allowed in just four innings. Now dealing with a quad injury, the 26-year-old righty will spend at least another 15 days on the injured list, and Anthony Maldonado will return to the Athletics to provide the big club with some extra bullpen depth.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Struggles in return from IL
Rotowire
Ginn (1-2) allowed four runs on six hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over four innings, taking the loss Monday versus the Angels.
Ginn threw 48 of 79 pitches for strikes in his return from right elbow inflammation. The right-hander had been out since late April due to the injury, and he fell short of his expected 85-to-90 pitch count in his return. He struggled a bit, allowing home runs to Nolan Schanuel and Taylor Ward, which accounted for three of the four runs on Ginn's line. For the season, Ginn has a 5.60 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 17.2 innings, showing some strikeout upside despite the sinkerballer's other concerns in his profile, which has included him allowing six homers already this season. His next start is projected to be a tough home matchup versus the Phillies this weekend.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Officially activated off IL
Rotowire
The Athletics activated Ginn (elbow) off the 15-day injured list ahead of his start against the Angels on Monday.
Ginn has fully progressed in his recovery from right elbow inflammation, which caused him to be placed on the 15-day IL in late April. He tossed 3.1 scoreless innings in his lone rehab game with Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, and the 25-year-old right-hander will be on a 85-to-90 pitch count in his return to the majors Monday, per Jessica Kleinschmidt of Baseball America.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Returning Monday
Rotowire
Ginn (elbow) will be activated off the injured list to start Monday's game against the Angels, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Ginn landed on the injured list in late April due to right elbow inflammation. He pitched in a rehab game at Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday and tossed 3.1 shutout innings while striking out five batters and walking two. Because his minor-league outing was so brief, he may work under a workload restriction during his first start back with the A's, though the team hasn't confirmed any such plans.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Set to return from IL
Rotowire
Ginn (elbow) threw 3.1 scoreless innings for Triple-A Las Vegas with five strikeouts and two walks during a rehab start Wednesday. He will travel with the A's for their upcoming road trip at San Francisco, MLB.com reports.
Ginn will next throw a bullpen session between starts. If all goes well he could return to the rotation early next week, potentially Monday at home against the Angels.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Headed to Triple-A for rehab
Rotowire
Ginn (elbow) is expected to report to Triple-A Las Vegas this week to begin a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.
Placed on the injured list April 26 due to right elbow inflammation, Ginn was shut down for a brief period of time before resuming throwing. After completing a 30-pitch live bullpen session Friday without issue, Ginn will head to Las Vegas and may need just one rehab start before being activated from the 15-day injured list. Gunnar Hoglund has made two turns through the big-league rotation as a replacement for Ginn but may be in line for just one more start with the Athletics before Ginn is activated.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Starts throwing program
Rotowire
Ginn (elbow) was set to start a throwing program Wednesday, MLB.com reports.
Ginn was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to right elbow inflammation. The extent of his injury wasn't clear, but it looks like it could be minor if he's beginning a throwing program so quickly after landing on the IL.
The Athletics placed Ginn on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right elbow inflammation.
Ginn surrendered three runs over 3.2 innings during his most recent start Thursday, and he appears to have come away from the outing with some elbow trouble. He'll sit out the next couple of weeks at least as a result. A rotation replacement for Ginn hasn't been named yet, but Jacob Lopez will come up from Triple-A to give the Athletics extra bullpen depth for now.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Plagued by long ball vs. Rangers
Rotowire
Ginn didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Rangers after allowing three runs on six hits and two walks in 3.2 innings. He struck out two.
The long ball proved to be a major problem for Ginn, who gave up a career-high three home runs Thursday. It was also the shortest outing of the year so far for the right-hander, and he recorded a season-low two punchouts. Ginn could have some streaming value in fantasy against softer lineups, as he entered play with an elite 61.5 percent groundball rate, but he has a 4.61 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB over 13.2 innings (three starts). He doesn't shape up as an appealing option in his next projected outing in Texas for a rematch with the Rangers.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Falls to 1-1
Rotowire
Ginn (1-1) took the loss versus the Brewers on Friday, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out seven over 4.2 innings.
Ginn's second start of the season didn't go as well as his first, though he showed some strikeout upside again. The Brewers got to him for two runs in the third inning and tacked another onto his line in the fifth after he exited for reliever Jacob Lopez. Ginn has allowed four runs on nine hits and four walks while striking out 13 over 10 innings across his two starts. If he stays in the rotation, he's tentatively scheduled for a tough home start versus the Rangers next week.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Getting another start
Rotowire
Ginn is scheduled to start Friday's game in Milwaukee.
Called up from Triple-A Las Vegas last Saturday to replace the struggling Joey Estes in the rotation, Ginn spun a gem in his 2025 debut with the Athletics, limiting the Mets to one run on five hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.1 innings. He'll unsurprisingly stick around for another turn through the rotation, and Ginn's ability to keep the ball on the ground should come in handy at American Family Field, which has historically been one of the better ballparks in baseball for home-run production.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Earns win in 2025 debut
Rotowire
Ginn (1-0) came away with the win against the Mets on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out six across 5.1 innings.
Ginn was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas and was named as the starter for Saturday's game. He was able to navigate through some sticky situations through the first five innings, but he couldn't maintain the shutout, giving up a solo home run to Brandon Nimmo in the sixth. Ginn was two outs shy from registering the quality start, but it was still an excellent outing for the 25-year-old right-hander in what was the seventh major-league start in his career. Ginn is slated to start next week on the road against the Brewers.
