WEST SACRAMENTO -- Already on the cusp of the big leagues entering 2026 Spring Training with the Athletics, Henry Bolte set the bar even higher for his eventual first call to the Majors with his eye-opening performance throughout camp. “There’s a lot of us in that coaches’ room that think

WEST SACRAMENTO -- Nick Kurtz is not one to visibly show when he’s in pain, which is why there was reasonable cause for concern after he fouled a ball hard off his right heel in the fifth inning and hobbled around home plate. The last thing the Athletics want is

WEST SACRAMENTO -- In what continues to be a season in which Shea Langeliers is rapidly evolving into one of the game’s elite hitters, Thursday night saw a significant milestone for the slugging Athletics catcher.

WEST SACRAMENTO -- The noise emanating from the bat of Henry Bolte has become far too loud for the Athletics to ignore. On the heels of one of the hottest streaks you’ll ever see, Bolte, rated the A’s No. 5 prospect by MLB Pipeline, was called up ahead of Tuesday

WEST SACRAMENTO -- The Athletics will have to move forward without their spark plug. Jacob Wilson was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder subluxation ahead of Tuesday’s series opener against the Cardinals. The A’s shortstop sustained the injury while diving for an infield single hit by

Zack Gelof was at a crossroads with the Athletics. His breakout 2023 rookie campaign felt so far in the rearview mirror, looking more like an outlier after the subpar ‘24 and injury-riddled ‘25 that followed. Once viewed as a potential franchise cornerstone at second base, Gelof fell down the organizational

PHILADELPHIA -- Jeffrey Springs handed the ball to Athletics manager Mark Kotsay during the sixth inning and walked off the mound at Citizens Bank Park holding a one-run lead. Two innings later, the A’s were trailing by three. This is a scenario that has played out far too often for

WEST SACRAMENTO -- Nobody needed a flip of the calendar more than Brent Rooker. While April was mostly great for the Athletics, whose 16-10 record was sixth-best in the Majors and their best for the month since April 2014 (18-9), Rooker had arguably the worst month of his career. The

WEST SACRAMENTO -- The sold-out crowd at Sutter Health Park knew what was going on. Nick Kurtz has been rubbing shoulders with legends of the game throughout his ongoing Athletics-record walk streak. Without a walk through three at-bats as he faced Guardians reliever Hunter Gaddis in the bottom of the

Neither the Athletics nor Rangers entered 2026 as favorites to win the American League West, yet here they are, set to battle for divisional supremacy. Fresh off a statement series victory over the reigning AL West champion Mariners in Seattle, the A’s (13-12) now head to Texas to open up

SEATTLE -- Nick Kurtz was not going to go down without a fight. Trailing by one run entering the bottom of the ninth on Wednesday at T-Mobile Park, the Athletics easily could have gotten complacent at the end of a stretch of 16 games in 16 days, especially with All-Star

SEATTLE -- The Athletics’ outfield defense took a hit as Denzel Clarke was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Wednesday’s series finale against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park. The official diagnosis for Clarke was a mid foot bone bruise in his right foot. That injury, however, stems from

SEATTLE – For as impressive a start to the season as Shea Langeliers is off to, his one bugaboo, somewhat surprisingly, has been struggles facing left-handers, entering the day hitting .190 vs. southpaws after batting .367 against them last year.

SEATTLE – Despite the 14-game difference in overall win total, there wasn’t much separation whenever the Athletics matched up against the eventual American League West champion Mariners last season.

WEST SACRAMENTO -- The Athletics were lined up to cap a seven-game homestand with a series win over the White Sox as Jeffrey Springs -- statistically one of the best pitchers in the Majors thus far -- took the mound for Sunday afternoon’s series finale. Of course, it is impossible
