Adam Oller - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Works around wildness for hold Oller recorded his first hold in a loss to the Yankees on Monday, allowing two runs (one earned) on three walks over 1.1 innings.

Impact After working around a pair of walks to get out of the bottom of the sixth unblemished, Oller put on another couple of hitters before exiting with one out in the seventh. The right-hander was eventually charged with two runs when those runners came around to score on A.J. Puk's watch, meaning he's now allowed at least one earned run in seven of the eight appearances he's made.

Some improvement since return Oller has allowed an earned run on five hits and two walks over four innings across two appearances since his promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday.

Impact Oller was demoted to the Aviators on May 16 after posting an 0-3 record, 12.27 ERA and 2.18 WHIP across four starts with the Athletics. The young right-hander appears to have worked out some kinks on the farm, however, as he's put together some quality multi-inning work in his first two appearances since being recalled. Despite the encouraging early returns, Oller is almost certainly going to remain in a low-leverage role for the foreseeable future.

Recalled by Oakland Oller was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Oller worked exclusively in the rotation in the minors over the last three seasons, and his first four major-league appearances came as a starter. He posted a 12.27 ERA and 2.18 WHIP in 14.2 innings over his four starts with the Athletics in 2022, and it seems likely that he'll serve as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen now that he's back with the major-league club. Even if the right-hander pitches out of the bullpen for now, he should be one of the top options to fill in as a starter if needed.

Sent down after spot start Oller was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas after Saturday's doubleheader against the Angels.

Impact He was making a spot start, and considering he has a 12.27 ERA and 2.18 WHIP in 14.2 innings through four MLB appearances, it may be a while before he gets another such opportunity. Oller has been better at Triple-A, where he has given up two earned runs while striking out eight over eight innings in two appearances.

MAY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Hit hard by Halos Oller (0-3) took the loss during Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader, allowing eight runs on six hits and three walks with three strikeouts in five innings.

Impact Oller escaped the first inning unscathed, but it was all downhill from there. He surrendered five runs in the second, capped by a Taylor Ward grand slam, and three more in the fifth, and likely would have been removed sooner had he not been the 27th man. Oller will likely return to the minors, though he could have a role later in the season as Oakland looks to the future.

MAY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Called up as 27th man Oller was recalled by the Athletics to serve as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Angels.

Impact Oller's call-up was expected, as the right-hander will start in the second game of the twin bill. He struggled in his first three major-league starts this year, posting an 11.17 ERA and 2.38 WHIP in 9.2 innings.

MAY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to start Saturday Oller appears set to start one half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Angels, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Athletics have yet to officially announce their plans for the twin bill, but Oller was spotted with the team Friday and Oakland has a gap in the rotation, so it looks as though he's about to be called up. Oller, who was acquired from the Mets in the Chris Bassitt trade in March, opened the season in the rotation but was demoted after giving up 13 runs (12 earned) in 9.2 innings across his first three starts.

MAY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Triple-A The Athletics optioned Oller to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Oller hadn't pitched since April 22 and wasn't lined up to start Sunday's series finale with the Guardians, so his demotion comes as little surprise. The Athletics activated James Kaprielian (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move, and he'll enter the rotation and start Sunday against Cleveland in his season debut. The Athletics have a pair of doubleheader games coming up in the second week of May, so Oller could be in line for a brief stint in the minors before rejoining the big club to make a spot start. He won't make for an especially reliable fantasy option, however, after submitting an 11.17 ERA and 2.38 WHIP across 9.2 innings over his first three MLB starts.

MAY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Hit hard in Friday's loss Oller (0-2) took the loss Friday, coughing up five runs on five hits and two walks over five innings as the A's were downed 8-1 by the Rangers. He struck out two.

Impact Homers by Nathaniel Lowe and Andy Ibanez in the second inning kicked off a five-run eruption by Texas, and the Oakland offense never came close to climbing out of the hole. Oller tossed only 47 of 88 pitches for strikes before exiting, and his hold on a rotation spot seems very tenuous given his 11.17 ERA, 2.38 WHIP and 8:8 K:BB through his first 9.2 big-league innings.

Suffers first loss Oller (0-1) allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks over 3.1 innings Sunday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Blue Jays.

Impact Oller allowed one run in each of the first three innings; he allowed an RBI sacrifice fly to Lourdes Gurriel in the first followed by RBI singles from Santiago Espinal and Matt Chapman. The 27-year-old owns a brutal 13.50 ERA through 4.2 innings in two appearances this season. Oller is currently expected to face the Rangers at home next week.

APRIL 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Allows five runs in debut Oller gave up five runs on five hits and three walks over 1.1 innings during Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Rays. He had three strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.

Impact Oller surrendered a solo homer in the opening frame and then allowed four more runs while recording only one out during the second inning. It was a rough debut for the 27-year-old, who won a spot in Oakland's starting rotation after Sean Manaea was traded to San Diego. Oller won't be on the fantasy radar until he finds some level of success in the majors, and he lines up for a tough matchup with the Blue Jays on Sunday.

APRIL 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Claims final rotation spot Oller is scheduled to start the Athletics' fifth game of the season Tuesday in Tampa Bay.

Impact Heading into the final week of spring training, Oller looked set to miss out on a spot in the Athletics' Opening Day rotation, but he'll end up stepping in as Oakland's fifth starter after Sean Manaea was dealt away to the Padres on Sunday. The starting assignment in Tampa Bay will mark the MLB debut for Oller, who struck out nine over 6.1 Cactus League innings but was lit up for seven earned runs on 11 hits and two walks. The 27-year-old right-hander turned in a 2.45 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over a larger sample of 44 innings at Triple-A Syracuse in the Mets organization a season ago, but fantasy managers will still want to temper expectations for Oller as he begins his big-league career. Even with a two-start week on tap -- he's tentatively scheduled to face the Blue Jays in Toronto on April 17 -- Oller looks like an unreliable lineup option outside of AL-only leagues.

APRIL 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to serve as bulk reliever Manager Mark Kotsay said Saturday that Oller will take on a bullpen role for the Athletics to begin the 2022 campaign, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Oller was informed Friday that he'd made the Opening Day roster, and he'll serve as a multi-inning reliever to begin the year. The right-hander made eight starts at Triple-A Syracuse last season and posted a 2.45 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in 44 innings. He'll be one of the top options to fill in as a spot starter if needed.

Impact Manager Mark Kotsay gave Oller the good news right in the dugout as the 27-year-old wrapped up his third outing of spring. Gallegos separately reported that Oller's fastball got as high as 96 mph in Friday's start while consistently sitting in the 93 mph-94 mph range, and that the well-traveled rookie will be in the mix for either a possible rotation spot or multi-inning relief role to start the campaign.

Heads to Oakland Oller and J.T. Ginn were traded from the Mets to the Athletics in exchange for Chris Bassitt on Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Oller is a 27-year-old who's yet to make his big-league debut, but he's potentially more interesting than most players who fit that description. He closed last season with a strong eight-start run for Triple-A Syracuse, cruising to a 2.45 ERA, though that came with a 10.2 percent walk rate and a merely above-average 24.3 percent strikeout rate.

MARCH 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Protected from Rule 5 draft Oller was added to the Mets' 40-man roster Friday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact It's rare to see 27-year-olds getting protected from the Rule 5 draft, but Oller earned his spot by logging a 2.45 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in 44 innings (eight starts) at Triple-A last season. He will be ready to provide big-league depth in 2022.
