INJURIES

Catches on with Oakland The Athletics signed Pruitt to a minor-league contract Tuesday.
Impact Pruitt made four appearances with the Rangers earlier this season, allowing six runs over 4.1 relief innings, before missing time with a knee injury and eventually getting released. He'll report to Triple-A Las Vegas, where he could be used as a starter or reliever.

Rangers activate 3B Josh Jung and LHP Cody Bradford, among 11 moves after Michael Lorenzen traded

The Texas Rangers have activated third baseman Josh Jung and left-hander Cody Bradford from the 60-day injured list
JULY 29, 2024
Cut loose by Texas The Rangers released Pruitt (knee) on Sunday.
Impact Pruitt had been on the shelf since April 24 with a right meniscus injury and was cleared to begin a minor-league rehab assignment June 28. Between stops in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and Triple-A Round Rock, Pruitt posted a 7.71 ERA, 2.14 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB in 9.1 innings. With Pruitt's 30-day rehab window coming to a close Sunday and with the Rangers not willing to reopen a spot for him on the roster after he struggled on his rehab assignment, the 34-year-old right-hander will be given the chance to search for an opportunity elsewhere. Pruitt will most likely have to settle for a minor-league deal with his next organization.
JULY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Moving rehab to Triple-A The Rangers transferred Pruitt's (knee) rehab assignment from the rookie-level Arizona Complex League to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.
Impact Pruitt will likely stick around at Round Rock throughout the week before potentially returning from the 60-day injured list following the All-Star break. He made three rehab appearances in the ACL over the past two weeks, covering four innings and striking out four while giving up one run on five hits and no walks.

García and Carter hit back-to-back homers and Rangers beat Mariners 5-1

Adolis García and Evan Carter hit Texas’ first back-to-back home runs this season in the fourth inning and the Rangers beat the Seattle Mariners 5-1
APRIL 25, 2024
Lands on IL The Rangers placed Pruitt on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right meniscus injury, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Pruitt has been touched four six earned runs across 4.1 innings in his first four appearances, and he'll now be sidelined for the two weeks due to problems with his knee. Grant Anderson was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.

Rangers reliever Brock Burke broke his non-throwing hand by punching a wall after a poor outing

Texas Rangers reliever Brock Burke broke his non-throwing hand while punching a wall following a poor outing Friday night against the Houston Astros
APRIL 13, 2024
Selected from Triple-A The Rangers selected Pruitt's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.
Impact After failing to make the Rangers' bullpen out of spring training, Pruitt will get his shot with the big-league club after Brock Burke (hand) was placed on the injured list Saturday. Pruitt was solid last season with the A's, turning in a 2.98 ERA and 1.16 WHIP across 48.1 innings, and he will likely serve in middle relief for the Rangers. Justin Foscue (oblique) was transferred to the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move to clear space on the 40-man roster.
APRIL 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Signs with Rangers as NRI Pruitt signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Pruitt collected a 2.98 ERA and 30:12 K:BB over 48.1 innings with the Athletics in 2023 before his season ended with a forearm strain. It appears he will enter spring training healthy and the 34-year-old will be in the mix for a long relief role in Texas.
JANUARY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Outrighted to Triple-A Oakland outrighted Pruitt (forearm) to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.
Impact Pruitt posted a solid 2.98 ERA and 30:12 K:BB through 48.1 innings this season for the Athletics before finishing the year on the injured list because of an August forearm strain. The veteran right-hander can now elect to become a free agent and seems likely to do so.
OCTOBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Slated to throw live BP Pruitt (forearm) is scheduled to throw live batting practice against JJ Bleday (knee) on Friday, the team's official site reports.
Impact Pruitt remains without an exact timetable for return after hitting the injured list back on Aug. 20, but Friday's activity level is naturally encouraging. The right-hander had generated a career-best 2.98 ERA alongside a 2-6 record and four holds over 38 appearances (six starts) when the injury bug bit.
SEPTEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sidelined with forearm strain The Athletics placed Pruitt on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a right forearm strain.
Impact Oakland called up Dany Jimenez from Triple-A Las Vegas to provide the club with another right-handed arm out of the bullpen while Pruitt is on the shelf. Depending on the severity of the strain, Pruitt could be done for the season and may even need Tommy John surgery to address the injury. More information on the extent of Pruitt's injury should come within the next few days once he undergoes additional testing. The 33-year-old has compiled a 2.98 ERA and 1.16 WHIP while striking out 30 over 48.1 innings this season.
AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Hurls two scoreless frames Pruitt did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing one walk over two scoreless innings in a 2-0 victory over the Rangers. He struck out two.
Impact Pruitt did not allow a hit over his two innings of work, though the Rangers made him work for it, forcing 34 pitches and drawing one walk off the right-hander. He also managed to record two strikeouts for the second time in his last four appearances and has not allowed a run over his last nine outings (spanning 10.1 innings), posting a 9:3 K:BB over that stretch.
AUGUST 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Serving as opener Wednesday Pruitt will start Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Pruitt has already made five starts for the A's this season, though none of his outings have lasted longer than three frames. The 33-year-old righty has pitched to a respectable 3.35 ERA and 1.16 WHIP through 43 innings this season and will give way to Freddy Tarnok after an inning or two Wednesday.
AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Grabs second win Saturday Pruitt (2-6) got the win against the Astros on Saturday, firing a scoreless two-thirds of an inning.
Impact The right-hander needed a scant four pitches to record a pair of outs and close out the sixth inning. Pruitt has endured a bit of a rollercoaster season, and he's exemplified the inconsistency by allowing six combined runs in two appearances while tossing scoreless efforts in seven other outings since June 29. He's also garnered just two wins and two holds across 28 appearances, but his 3.96 ERA and 1.21 WHIP are certainly respectable from a fantasy perspective.
JULY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Opening Saturday's game Pruitt will serve as Oakland's opening pitcher in Saturday's game agains the Twins.
Impact Pruitt will most likely cover anywhere from 1-to-3 innings prior to turning the game over to Hogan Harris, who had been in line to start Saturday before the Athletics made the late decision to deploy him behind an opener. Over his previous four assignments as an opener this season, Pruitt has allowed six earned runs on nine hits and no walks while striking out two over 6.2 innings.
JULY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Takes sixth loss Saturday Pruitt (1-6) took the loss against the Red Sox on Saturday, allowing four earned runs on four hits over 1.2 innings. He didn't walk a batter or record a strikeout.
Impact Pruitt drew a spot start with Paul Blackburn unable to go due to an illness, but the right-hander never found his footing. Pruitt allowed three runs himself in the opening frame via a Justin Turner single and Alex Verdugo two-run home run before also being charged with an additional run after getting the hook in the second. The 33-year-old still sports a solid 3.90 ERA and acceptable 1.24 WHIP across 24 appearances (four starts) despite Saturday's stumble, but he's managed to record only two holds on the campaign while forging his crooked won-loss record.
JULY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
A's to send RHP Austin Pruitt to mound vs. Red Sox Oakland Athletics right-hander Austin Pruitt will get the nod for Saturday’s road game against the Boston Red Sox after scheduled starter Pa...
JULY 8, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Starting Saturday Pruitt will start Saturday's game against the Red Sox on short notice after Paul Blackburn was scratched due to illness.
Impact Pruitt has been used as an opener three times this season but hasn't thrown more than three innings in any appearance. He reached that mark just three days ago as the opener in Wednesday's game against the Tigers, so he's unlikely to be fresh enough to pitch particularly deep into Saturday's contest.
JULY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Shines as opener Pruitt struck out a batter while working three perfect innings as Oakland's opening pitcher in Wednesday's 12-3 win over the Tigers.
Impact Though he faced the minimum nine batters while departing with a 4-0 lead that the Athletics never relinquished, Pruitt didn't qualify for the win because he didn't pitch at least five innings. Instead, the win fell to Ken Waldichuk, who worked 4.1 innings in a bulk-relief role. The three innings were a season-high total for Pruitt, but it's unclear if the Athletics are interested in having him build up his pitch count in preparation for a more traditional starting role. The strong outing should at least make Pruitt once of the team's preferred options the next time manager Mark Kotsay chooses to deploy an opener in front of one of the members of Oakland's rotation.
JULY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Handling opener role Wednesday Pruitt is scheduled to serve as Oakland's opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Pruitt hasn't tossed more than three innings or 35 pitches in any of his 32 appearances between the majors and minors this season, so the Athletics likely won't ask him to work more than once through the order before he turns the game over to the bullpen. Lefty Ken Waldichuk is expected to work in bulk relief behind Pruitt.
JULY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Another stumble Wednesday Pruitt (1-5) took the loss and was charged with a blown save Wednesday against the Guardians, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits over one inning. He didn't issue a walk o...
Impact Pruitt was entrusted with protecting a one-run lead when he entered in the eighth, but after inducing an inning-opening groundout from Arias, Pruitt allowed the next three hitters to reach safely, capped off by a Steven Kwan two-run double that was augmented by a Ramon Laureano throwing error. The veteran right-hander has now allowed an earned run in three of his last five appearances, with each of those instances resulting in a loss.
JUNE 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Fourth loss in impressive outing Pruitt (1-4) took the loss against the Rays on Thursday, allowing an earned run on three hits over 2.1 innings during which he didn't record any strikeouts.
Impact Pruitt's line implies he didn't exactly earn a loss, with the right-hander eating up some valuable innings effectively and hammering 24 of his 34 pitches in for strikes. However, the 33-year-old made one mistake, an eighth-inning curveball that Luke Raley took 410 feet to center for a go-ahead home run that proved to be the difference in the game. The stumble notwithstanding, Pruitt has largely been a reliable multi-inning option for manager Mark Kotsay of late, pitching to a 2.57 ERA over the 14 frames covering his last 10 appearances despite a 1-3 record in that span.
