The Athletics are promoting Gage Jump for his MLB debut this week — the LHP was the team's third-round pick in 2024 and has dominated at Double-A and Triple-A (2.36 ERA, 28.7% K-rate across 49.2 IP). Oakland's rotation is thin behind J.T. Ginn and Luis Severino, so Jump should get a real rotation runway. Stash in 14+ team leagues; he's a $1 pickup with top-50 SP rest-of-season ceiling if the velocity and command translate. Watch his first 2 outings carefully — A's pitchers tend to either click immediately or struggle through a long ramp.

Started vs Seattle Mariners (5W-1L, 3.31 ERA)

Ginn took a no-hitter into the ninth inning against the Angels earlier this month — Zach Neto's walk-off homer ruined it, but an 8-inning, 10-strikeout line is a 10-strikeout line. He's allowed one earned run or less in three of his last four starts, and his 10.0 K/9 rate is genuine. The Athletics have given him a real rotation slot. Low-cost stash in 14+ team leagues; he's a potential SP3-4 if the strikeout profile holds through June.

NEW: Out beyond the All-Star break with a significant hamstring strain. Clarke is an elite defender with speed-driven fantasy value; this is a 7-8 week absence at minimum. Drop in all 12-team redraft formats.

Started @ San Diego Padres (3W-4L, 3.93 ERA)

Pitcher List's #3 priority hitter. Gelof has bounced back with improved plate discipline (K-rate down from 30%+ to 22.5%). The A's offense has been hot, and his multi-position eligibility is the bonus. Top-25 2B rest of season.

Civale starts tonight at LAA and has a 2.70 ERA / 1.05 WHIP through 8 starts. The Athletics' offense is suddenly elite, which gives him a real shot at wins. Top-35 SP rest of season; priority claim today.

Started @ Los Angeles Angels (5W-1L, 2.70 ERA)

Gelof has 3 HRs in his last 8 games as the A's offense has caught fire. The 2B/OF eligibility is the multi-cat bonus, and the A's lineup is now a top-10 run-producer. Top-25 2B rest of season ceiling. Aggressive add in 14+ team formats; speculative in 12-team.

Started @ Los Angeles Angels (2W-1L, 3.12 ERA)

OBP .234 → .290 (Δ +0.056)

Started vs San Francisco Giants (3W-3L, 4.22 ERA)

Pitcher List's #2 priority hitter. Cortes has elite plate discipline plus four HRs in limited play. Some risk if A's outfielders return from IL, but the A's are riding him as the everyday LF for now. Top-50 OF rest of season floor in 14+ team leagues.

2nd blown save in last 4 outings; the A's may shift to Hogan Harris or Luis Medina shortly. Drop in standard formats; monitor next 5-7 days for committee resolution.

Started vs San Francisco Giants (4W-1L, 2.59 ERA)

OBP .221 → .284 (Δ +0.063)

OBP .263 → .316 (Δ +0.053)

OBP .206 → .279 (Δ +0.073)

Bolte debuted Wednesday with a single, infield hit, walk, sacrifice fly RBI, and a diving catch in CF. The A's are running him daily with Jacob Wilson on the IL. Top-30 prospect with a power-speed profile that translates immediately. Add aggressively in 14+ team formats.

OBP .250 → .307 (Δ +0.057)

OBP .206 → .280 (Δ +0.074)

Started vs St. Louis Cardinals (1W-1L, 3.62 ERA)

NEW: 10-day IL retroactive to May 11 with a left shoulder dislocation. Shoulder dislocations in middle infielders typically take 4-6 weeks minimum, often longer if surgical repair is needed. Wilson was hitting .278 with 5 HR — a real loss for the A's. Michael Stefanic recalled.
