Take one look at the Athletics playing a game on a given night and it’ll be easy to see what the impact of drafting well can be for a team. The majority of the A’s starting lineup these days is comprised of players who were drafted by the club. That

WEST SACRAMENTO – While the Athletics prepared for their series finale against the Dodgers on Wednesday night at Sutter Health Park, they did so with heavy hearts after learning of a scary incident involving Minor League outfielder Ryan Lasko. While playing center field for Double-A Midland on Tuesday night in

WEST SACRAMENTO – What seemed like good fortune for the Athletics when they left Spring Training in Arizona free of any major injuries is starting to feel more like an ominous precursor to what they’re now dealing with on the health front. The difficulty of this recent six-game road trip

Now that Leo De Vries has gotten back in gear this month, he's starting to turn it up a notch. MLB’s No. 2 prospect connected on his second homer in as many nights in Double-A Midland's 9-5 loss to Amarillo on Thursday at HODGETOWN. It marked the first time this

The term “crooked numbers” can’t even begin to describe the offensive onslaught that occurred between the Cedar Rapids Kernels and the Lansing Lugnuts at Jackson Field on Saturday night. A final score of 23-15 is enough to give scoreboard operators the ick, but a deeper look into the box score

Baseball and magic numbers go hand in hand. But this run from Leo De Vries has nothing to do with clinching a playoff spot. Rather, it’s a bit of celestial happenstance that seems fitting for one of the game’s youngest rising stars. The Athletics’ No. 1 prospect crushed his sixth

HOUSTON – Gage Jump didn’t have eye-popping strikeout numbers, but he gave the A’s what they needed on Sunday – another good outing. Jump threw 6 1/3 shutout innings and Nick Kurtz and Brent Rooker each homered as the Athletics beat the Astros, 5-0, at Daikin Park to salvage one

HOUSTON -- Kade Morris ran into trouble early and often in his Major League debut Saturday. The right-hander was tagged for nine runs in four-plus innings in a 13-2 loss to the Astros at Daikin Park. Morris allowed nine hits with three walks and four strikeouts. The Astros hit three

CHICAGO – The loss of two veteran arms in the past week has brought the Athletics two of their top prospects to the big leagues. With a couple of spots in the rotation opening up in the aftermath of Luis Severino landing on the 15-day injured list over the weekend

CHICAGO – Throughout his short time in the Minors, Gage Jump was often described as a “fiery competitor” on the mound, which is why it was no surprise that after allowing four runs over five innings in his Major League debut last week, the left-hander was not very pleased while

During the 1999 season, the Athletics had a pair of highly touted left-handed pitching prospects. First-round pick Mark Mulder plied his trade at Triple-A while the following year’s first-rounder -- Barry Zito -- worked his way to Double-A. Fast-forward a year later and the two began to take the ball

Gage Jump is one of several intriguing pitching prospects in the A’s system. Jump, MLB Pipeline’s No. 3 A’s prospect and No. 40 in all of baseball, made his debut on Tuesday against the Mariners. The left-hander allowed four runs in five innings and struck out five Seattle hitters.

WEST SACRAMENTO – Before the Athletics broke camp in Spring Training, manager Mark Kotsay expressed excitement over the younger players left off the Opening Day roster who could make an impact later in the season. Gage Jump was among that group of youngsters Kotsay was discussing. The A’s saw enough

WEST SACRAMENTO -- Left-hander Gage Jump, who has quickly developed into one of the most exciting pitching prospects in the Athletics system in quite some time, is set to make his Major League debut. The A’s have called up Jump and are handing him Tuesday night’s start against the Mariners

The A’s have been riding a serious youth movement, moving guys aggressively to the big leagues and letting those young players help them land atop the AL West entering Tuesday’s games. Most of that effort has come on the offensive side of the ledger and they sport one of the

Leo De Vries helped drive the offense at the plate and Jamie Arnold handled the rest on the mound Thursday night. It's a recipe for success the Athletics hope to see much more of in the coming years from two of their top prospects.

After a bit of a shaky start to his first stint in Triple-A, Gage Jump is starting to find his footing. The Athletics’ No. 3 prospect (MLB Pipeline’s No. 41 overall) delivered seven scoreless innings in his start Wednesday, striking out nine and extending a scoreless streak to 11 innings

ANAHEIM -- Gunnar Hoglund’s 2026 season is over before it even began. The Athletics announced on Wednesday afternoon that Hoglund, rated the club’s No. 18 prospect by MLB Pipeline, underwent successful left hip surgery on May 19 with Dr. Marc Philippon in Vail, Colo. The procedure involved a hip labral

Leo De Vries is learning a new position. What isn't new, however, is his ability to hit and hit and hit.

Shotaro Morii made history when he signed with the Athletics in January 2025, landing the largest signing bonus ($1.5 million) ever handed out to an amateur from Japan. After getting his feet wet stateside in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League last year solely as a hitter, the real fun began
