Lands on injured list Felipe was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a sprained right elbow, Martin Gallegos of MLB.comreports.
Impact Felipe presumably suffered the injury Monday in St. Louis when he was tagged with the loss after giving up three earned runs in one-third of an inning. It's unclear exactly how long the right-hander will be sidelined, but the fact it's an elbow injury could put his season in jeopardy.

Impact Felipe entered the game in the seventh inning with a 5-3 lead, but he set up bullpen mate Francisco Perez with quite a jam by issuing walks to Paul Goldschmidt, Andrew Knizner and Tyler O'Neill around a Nolan Arenado strikeout. Felipe was subsequently charged with three runs and the loss when all of those runners crossed the plate after his exit, his first big-league defeat in 14 appearances. The right-hander has now been charged with five runs overall in his last five appearances, although all have come within three of outings in that span.

Placed on paternity list Felipe was placed on the paternity list Saturday.

Secures first big-league win Felipe (1-0) earned the win in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Red Sox, striking out two over 1.2 hitless innings.
Impact Felipe relieved Lucas Erceg in the sixth inning, striking out a pair of Red Sox to strand the tying run on second base. The 25-year-old Felipe then set the Red Sox down in order in the seventh en route to his first MLB victory. The rookie right-hander has impressed since he was called up in early July -- he sports a 1.42 ERA with a 0.95 WHIP and 6:4 K:BB through his first 6.1 innings with the A's.

Recalled from Triple-A Felipe was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Felipe was claimed off waivers from the Padres last month. The 25-year-old has put up a 5.46 ERA and 46:19 K:BB over 29.2 innings at the Triple-A level in 2023. He'll be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game.

Claimed off waivers Oakland claimed Felipe off waivers from the Padres on Wednesday and assigned him to Triple-A Las Vegas.
Impact Felipe was designated for assignment by the Padres on Sunday to clear a spot on their 40-man roster, and he finds a new home a few days later. The right-hander has struggled in 2023 with a 6.20 ERA and 1.82 WHIP with Triple-A El Paso, but he did impress in 2022 with 14 saves with 84 strikeouts over 62 innings in the minors, and Oakland will hope he can find that form again in the second half of 2023.

Moves off 40-man roster The Padres designated Felipe for assignment Sunday.
Impact After joining the Padres in January 2022 as a minor-league free agent, Felipe earned a spot on the 40-man roster heading into the 2023 campaign after he turned in a 3.63 ERA while striking out 84 batters and recording 14 saves across 62 innings between Triple-A El Paso and Double-A San Antonio. The 25-year-old right-hander had taken a major step back in 2023, however, as he pitched to a 6.20 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 39:18 K:BB in 24.2 innings with El Paso before the Padres dropped him from the 40-man roster. He'll now be exposed to waivers, but if he goes unclaimed, Felipe will remain in the organization and continue to work out of the El Paso bullpen.
