Athletics News

The Athletics look to build on their narrow 12-11 victory over the Angels as they prepare to face them again tonight, with J.T. Ginn taking the mound in what could be a key moment for the team. However, the A's are feeling the sting of injury, as Mark Leiter Jr. has been placed on the 15-day IL with a hip impingement, forcing Geoff Hartlieb to step up from Triple-A. Offensively, the A's have been solid, averaging 7.6 runs per game recently, but the absence of the red-hot Zack Gelof, recovering from an HBP, highlights their reliance on key players. It’s a mixed bag right now,solid bats but shaky pitching,so the Athletics will need to tighten up as they aim to maintain their .500 record.

Fun Parallels To 2012 Emerging

There is only one 2012 season and 2026 is unlikely to match it in any way, shape, or form. But the […]

A's bats go cold without red-hot Gelof, recovering after HBP to head

WEST SACRAMENTO -- The Athletics have a deep enough lineup that they don’t rely on one hitter to shoulder the load, but with hot-hitting Zack Gelof absent on Saturday night, it sure felt like his presence was missed.
