Athletics News

After a much-needed 5-0 victory over the Astros, the Athletics are looking to build momentum against the Brewers, despite struggling to find their footing at 31-34. The return of Max Muncy from the injured list could provide a spark, but concerns remain, especially with Brent Rooker’s recent slump. The A's are only 2.5 games back in the AL West, a slight glimmer of hope amid a season marked by inconsistency. Meanwhile, as the team eyes potential trades to bolster their rotation, the organization continues to tease fans about the future in Las Vegas, where last week's wild 15-14 loss showcased the offensive potential of players like Shea Langeliers. The A’s must harness this energy as they navigate a pivotal stretch against Milwaukee, hoping their bats can outslug their pitching woes.
