Cool

a rough stretch

Hard to feel good about the data. Only 2 of the last 7 in the win column. And a 3-run loss last night is the biggest weight on the score.

Athletics News

After a promising 9-3 triumph over the Angels, the Athletics couldn't sustain their momentum, falling 5-2 in a disappointing follow-up. This inconsistency is a stark reminder of the challenges plaguing the A's, as they continue to struggle with runners in scoring position. Meanwhile, the front office made a move to bolster the roster, acquiring right-hander Hayden Juenger from the Blue Jays, but the loss of prospect Wei-En Lin to Tommy John surgery casts a shadow over the future. With a record of 40-42, the A's sit just two games back in their division, but with a recent run differential of -2 over the last week, the road ahead looks rocky. To bounce back, they’ll need hot bats like Nick Kurtz and Shea Langeliers to keep delivering while the pitching staff finds its footing.

A’s Prospect Wei-En Lin To Undergo Tommy John Surgery

Left-handed pitching prospect Wei-En Lin will be undergoing Tommy John surgery, MLB.com’s Martin Gallegos reports. Given the usual recovery timeline, Lin will be sidelined until August 2027 at the earliest, so it is very possible the procedure wipes out both the rest of his 2026 campaign and his entire 2027 season.
