Seth JohnsonRP · Oct 5Knee · Surgery · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 5 | Out | Knee · Surgery · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | It's unclear how long the knee had been bothering Johnson, but he's expected to be ready to roll by the time spring training comes around. The right-handed reliever made 28 appearances between the Phillies and Athletics in 2026, finishing with a 5.88 ERA and 40:20 K:BB across 33.2 frames. |
Alika WilliamsSS · Sep 26Upper Body · Soreness · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 26 | Day-To-Day | Upper Body · Soreness | Feb 1, 2027 | Williams will miss a third consecutive game Saturday as he continues to battle upper-body soreness, and there's a chance the A's -- with nothing to play for -- take a cautious approach and sit him during Sunday's season finale as well. Donovan Walton will get the nod at shortstop Saturday, moving Jeff McNeil to second base and allowing Tommy White to start at first. |
Brent RookerDH · Sep 16Knee · Surgery · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 16 | 60-Day-IL | Knee · Surgery · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | Rooker won't have enough time to return this season from a cartilage tear in his left knee that he suffered in June, but his return to hitting is a good sign that he'll be ready to go by next Opening Day. The A's are optimistic that he will be cleared for batting practice before the end of the season. |
Brooks KriskeRP · Sep 17Shoulder · Surgery · Right · Back Mar 1, 2027 · Sep 17 | 60-Day-IL | Shoulder · Surgery · Right | Mar 1, 2027 | The 32-year-old righty made just two relief appearances for the Athletics before landing on the injured list May 13 due to the shoulder injury. After making limited progress over the past few months while he worked his way through a throwing program, Kriske eventually opted for surgery to address the injury. He'll likely be a non-tender candidate heading into the upcoming offseason. |
Gage JumpSP · Sep 15Shoulder · Pinched Nerve · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 15 | 15-Day-IL | Shoulder · Pinched Nerve · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | The A's have already been eliminated from playoff contention, so the move to the IL will officially bring an end to Jump's 2026 campaign. The left-hander finishes his rookie year having gone 6-11 in 20 starts with a 5.47 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 108:46 K:BB across 98.2 innings. He should compete for a rotation spot during spring training but likely won't enter camp with a guaranteed role. |
Gunnar HoglundSP · May 20Hip · Surgery · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · May 20 | 60-Day-IL | Hip · Surgery · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | It's the same procedure that Hoglund underwent in June of 2025, which also caused him to miss the rest of the season. He opened the 2026 season on the IL due to a sprained right knee and a lumbar spine strain and was given a cortisone shot for his left hip in early May. However, his hip injury was severe enough to necessitate another procedure, but the added time on the shelf should allow his knee and back to also recover. Hoglund will be sidelined for the rest of the 2026 campaign and will aim to be fully healthy for spring training. |
J.T. GinnSP · Sep 22Elbow · Soreness · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 22 | 60-Day-IL | Elbow · Soreness · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | In a pair of corresponding moves Tuesday, the Athletics reinstated Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (groin) from the 60-day injured list and placed Max Muncy (knee) on the 10-day injured list. Ginn faced the possibility of returning at the end of the 2026 season, but he was behind schedule in his recovery program, which inevitably led to his season concluding early. The starting pitcher landed on the 15-day injured list at the beginning of September due to a right elbow impingement. |
Jacob WilsonSS · Sep 11Shoulder · Surgery · Left · Back Mar 1, 2027 · Sep 11 | 60-Day-IL | Shoulder · Surgery · Left | Mar 1, 2027 | Additionally, Wilson was administered a PRP injection Tuesday to combat patellar tendinitis in his right knee. Wilson first injured his shoulder back in early May, and he was ultimately limited to just 80 games in an injury-shortened 2026 campaign. The shortstop could be ready for Opening Day, though he is likely to be slow-played during spring training. |
Justin SternerRP · Aug 16Knee · Surgery · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Aug 16 | 60-Day-IL | Knee · Surgery · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | After undergoing right knee surgery Friday, Sterner had already been ruled out for the rest of the season. His move to the 60-day injured list is merely procedural, as it opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver pickup Joe Rock. The 29-year-old Sterner logged a 6.12 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 40:13 K:BB over 42.2 innings out of the bullpen before hitting the shelf July 18. |
Luis SeverinoSP · Sep 14Shoulder · Strain · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 14 | 60-Day-IL | Shoulder · Strain · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Severino hit the injured list May 30 due to a right shoulder strain that will ultimately keep him out of action for the remainder of the season. While the right-hander won't return to a big-league mound in 2026, he seems to be progressing well in rehab and reportedly "looked good" in Saturday's session. Severino could opt out of his contract and turn down his $22 million player option for 2027 to hit the open market, but after an injury-marred campaign, he's likely to return to the Athletics. Before hitting the shelf, the 32-year-old posted a 2-6 record with a 4.16 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 65:31 K:BB across 62.2 innings (12 starts). |
Mark Leiter Jr.RP · Jul 30Hip · Surgery · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Jul 30 | 60-Day-IL | Hip · Surgery · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Leiter landed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to the injury, which he'll opt to treat with a procedure rather than rest and rehab. The 35-year-old righty will close out the season with a 4.28 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, five holds and four saves across 33.2 innings. |
Max Muncy3B · Oct 9Knee · Soreness · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 9 | 10-Day-IL | Knee · Soreness · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | Muncy's season ended prematurely due to left knee chondromalacia, and he could undergo arthroscopic surgery if the issue doesn't improve with extended rest. The 24-year-old infielder slashed .230/.296/.387 with nine home runs across 284 plate appearances during the 2026 season. |
Nick Kurtz1B · Sep 16Thumb · Strain · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 16 | 60-Day-IL | Thumb · Strain · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Kurtz has already been ruled out for the rest of the 2026 season due to a right thumb strain, but the fact that he's begun to swing a bat is an encouraging development for his availability at the start of the 2027 campaign. Manager Mark Kotsay said that if everything goes according to plan, Kurtz may be cleared to take batting practice before the end of the year. |
Tyler SoderstromLF · Aug 20Hip · Surgery · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Aug 20 | 60-Day-IL | Hip · Surgery · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | Soderstrom is scheduled to undergo hip surgery Friday that will cause him to miss the rest of the season, so the A's will move him to the 60-day IL to free up a 40-man roster spot for Johnathan Rodriguez, who was claimed off waivers from Pittsburgh. |
