Notches first save Tarnok pitched a scoreless inning and earned a save over Washington on Sunday.

Impact Tarnok was promoted from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday and earned a save in his Marlins debut. It was his first MLB appearance since 2023. Tarnok hit Jose Tena but finished off the 3-1 win by forcing Alex Call to ground into a double play. Calvin Faucher pitched Friday and Saturday, and was not used during Sunday's win.

Receives call-up The Marlins selected Tarnok's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

Impact Tarnok had been working primarily out of the rotation at Jacksonville this season, starting in 10 of his 12 appearances while posting a 4.79 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 44:18 K:BB in 41.1 innings. The Marlins are expected to deploy the right-hander out of the bullpen initially, but if he isn't used heavily in relief over the next few days, he could be a candidate to make a spot start later on during the upcoming week.

Healthy for start of Triple-A season Tarnok (ankle) struck out two batters and gave up one unearned run on one hit and no walks over three innings Sunday for Triple-A Jacksonville in its 2-1 extra-inning win over Nash...

Impact Tarnok attended big-league camp with the Marlins as a non-roster invitee, but he saw his longshot bid for the Opening Day roster come to an end after spraining his left ankle early in camp. The right-hander had sufficient time to heal up from the injury and kept ramped up ahead of the minor-league season, allowing him to claim a spot in the Jacksonville rotation.

Sent to minor-league camp Miami reassigned Tarnok (ankle) to minor-league camp Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Tarnok had been attending big-league spring training as a non-roster invitee, but he never made a serious run for a spot on Miami's season-opening roster after injuring his left ankle last week. Once healthy, the right-hander will likely serve as a swingman for Triple-A Jacksonville.

Out two weeks with ankle injury Tarnok will be held out of game action for two weeks after rolling his left ankle, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Tarnok is in Marlins camp as a non-roster invitee. He probably wasn't going to make the Opening Day roster regardless, but this injury should seal his fate in that regard.

Signs deal with Marlins Tarnok signed a contract with the Marlins on Sunday, which includes an invite to spring training, Aram Leighton of Just Baseball reports.

Impact Tarnok appeared in 21 games between Triple-A Las Vegas and Triple-A Lehigh Valley in 2024, producing an 8.16 ERA with 34 strikeouts over 28.2 innings. He'll now get a shot at proving himself with Miami in the spring, looking to make his first appearance in the majors since the 2023 campaign with Oakland.

DECEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Outrighted to Triple-A The Phillies outrighted Tarnok to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Tarnok has been removed from the 40-man roster but will stick around in the organization for now. The righty was a waiver claim of the Phillies back in July.

Returns from IL Tarnok (lat) struck out three and gave up three runs on two hits and one walk over an inning of relief for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday after being activated from the 7-day in...

Impact The 25-year-old made his first appearance for Lehigh Valley since July 2 after he completed his recovery from a right lat strain. Before being activated, Tarnok made a pair of rehab appearances for High-A Jersey Shore, striking out two over three scoreless innings.

AUGUST 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Shut down with lat strain Triple-A Lehigh Valley placed Tarnok on its 7-day injured list July 9 with a right lat strain, Tom Housenick of The Allentown Morning Call reports.

Impact After claiming Tarnok off waivers from Oakland on June 1, Philadelphia optioned him to Lehigh Valley. Tarnok accrued a 4.82 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB in 9.1 innings over five outings (four starts) with Lehigh Valley before being shut down with the injury, which will likely keep him out indefinitely.

JULY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set for bullpen session Tarnok (hip) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session and live BP later in the week, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Tarnok received a cortisone injection earlier in the month after experiencing inflammation in his surgically repaired right hip, and he's now on track to return to mound work this week. The club figures to take its time easing him back into action considering the right-hander has already had a setback following surgery.

MRI on tap Tarnok is slated for an MRI on his hip after feeling discomfort during a recent bullpen session, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Tarnok is already on the injured list and slated to start his 2024 season at Triple-A Las Vegas whenever he's ready for game action. However, that benchmark now appears to be even further away, given this latest development. The results of Tarnok's MRI should be available in coming days, potentially offering further insight into a recovery timetable.

APRIL 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Officially hits injured list Tarnok (hip) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Tarnok's placement on the list had long been expected after he was shut down from throwing in early March due to a setback with his surgically repaired right hip. Manager Mark Kotsay has already confirmed Tarnok will eventually begin the season at Triple-A Las Vegas when he is healthy enough to return. However, the right-hander, who logged 14.2 innings across five appearances (one start) at the big-league level with the Athletics last season, is fully expected to see time in the majors during the 2024 campaign.

MARCH 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will begin season at Triple-A Tarnok (hip), who threw a 20-pitch all-fastballs bullpen session Tuesday, is set to begin the season with Triple-A Las Vegas, MLB.com reports.

Impact Manager Mark Kotsay confirmed Wednesday that Tarnok will open the season with the Aviators, although the move has yet to be made official. Tarnok's next bullpen session will therefore come in minor-league camp, and if he continues without setbacks, he could be ready to join the major-league club before the end of April.

MARCH 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on 60-day IL Tarnok was transferred to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

Impact Tarnok underwent surgery on his right hip at the end of August, effectively ending his season. He was originally placed on the injured list back on Aug. 14 with a calf strain. The pitcher is being transferred to create room on the 40-man roster for Joe Boyle.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoes hip surgery Tarnok underwent surgery on his right hip Wednesday and will miss the rest of the season, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Tarnok was placed on the IL on Aug. 14 due to a calf strain, but surgery on his hip will end up putting an end to his season. The 24-year-old righty put up a 4.91 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 14.2 innings in his first season with the A's and is expected to be ready for the start of spring training in 2024.

AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Diagnosed with calf strain Tarnok is dealing with a Grade 2 calf strain, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact It was reported earlier in the day that Tarnok was placed on the 15-day injured list, and the reason for that is now known. Manager Mark Kotsay said Tarnok will be shut down in the interim, so it looks like he will miss more time than the minimum 15 days. It remains to be seen who will replace him in Oakland's rotation.

AUGUST 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on injured list Tarnok was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday.

Impact Tarnok appeared set to make another start for Oakland, but he will instead spend at least a couple weeks on the injured list. It's unclear what is ailing him, so a precise target date for his return is uncertain.

AUGUST 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets another turn through rotation Tarnok is listed as the Athletics' probable starting pitcher for Tuesday's game in St. Louis.

Impact The Athletics could end up changing course and deploy Tarnok behind an opener, but the 24-year-old right-hander at least appears to be locked into a rotation spot for the time being. After going 2.2 innings in his first career start July 26, Tarnok has worked in bulk relief in his last two appearances, covering 2.1 innings on Aug. 1 and four scoreless frames this past Wednesday. Tarnok tossed 69 pitches his last time out, and while he's still likely to have a workload restriction in place to some degree Tuesday, he should be stretched out enough to reach the five innings he would need to qualify for a win if used as a starter.

AUGUST 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Brilliant in bulk-relief role Tarnok (1-1) got the win against the Rangers on Wednesday, firing four scoreless innings during which he allowed two hits and two walks while recording four strikeouts.

Impact Tarnok came in following two scoreless frames from opener Austin Pruitt and continued the surprising domination of a potent Rangers lineup with his quartet of solid innings. The right-hander still struggled with efficiency -- only 39 of his 69 pitches landed for strikes -- but the outing was by far the best of Tarnok's five this season and was the first in which he didn't allow any runs. His pitch count also served as a new high-water mark, and although Tarnok could well continue to frequently appear in a bulk-reliever role, it's certainly possible he also gets a conventional start or two before season's end.

Tarnok earns 1st MLB win as Athletics limit AL West-leading Rangers to 4 hits in 2-0 victory

Freddy Tarnok threw four scoreless innings of relief for his first MLB win and five Oakland pitchers combined for a four-hitter as the Athletics beat AL West-leading Texas 2-0 to a...

AUGUST 9, 2023 • Associated Press

Primary pitcher Wednesday Tarnok will be the primary pitcher for the Athletics on Wednesday against the Rangers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact There could be an opener ahead of him, but Tarnok is slated to work multiple innings in the A's series finale versus Texas. The 24-year-old right-hander has posted a 6.75 ERA and 10:9 K:BB through 10.2 major-league frames this season.

AUGUST 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pitches to contact as opener Tarnok served as the opener in Wednesday's loss to the Giants and allowed three runs on three hits and a walk over 2.2 innings. He struck out four and uncorked a wild pitch.

Impact Tarnok took the next step in his 2023 acclimation process after a significantly delayed debut due to a shoulder strain, but he turned in a significantly uneven performance. The right-hander needed 49 pitches to record eight outs, and only 29 of those offerings found the strike zone. Tarnok worked himself into trouble early as well, surrendering a two-run home run to J.D. Davis in the first inning that set the stage for the ragged outing. The fact Tarnok got the call as an opener following a pair of relief appearances to open the season could be indicative of a potential rotation audition down the road, but manager Mark Kotsay likely wants to see the 24-year-old get his feet under him a bit more before going that route.

JULY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opening on Wednesday Tarnok will serve as an opener for the Athletics on Wednesday in San Francisco, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Impact He hasn't pitched in nearly a week and went three innings in that appearance, so it could be more of a piggyback with Hogan Harris rather than a traditional opener/bulk reliever situation. Tarnok has allowed three runs and walked five over 5.2 frames with the A's this season.
