Gage Jump - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Placed on injured list The Athletics placed Jump on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Sept. 13, due to a left shoulder impingement.

Impact The A's have already been eliminated from playoff contention, so the move to the IL will officially bring an end to Jump's 2026 campaign. The left-hander finishes his rookie year having gone 6-11 in 20 starts with a 5.47 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 108:46 K:BB across 98.2 innings. He should compete for a rotation spot during spring training but likely won't enter camp with a guaranteed role.

Likely to go on IL Jump (shoulder) is likely to be placed on the 15-day injured list, Jason Burke of Roundtable.io reports.

Impact Jump was dealing with left shoulder tightness during his last start Saturday against the Mariners. Whether he goes on the IL will be determined Tuesday, but if that is indeed the route that is chosen, then Jump's 2026 season will likely be over. Across 20 starts, Jump has a 6-11 record with a 5.47 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 108:46 K:BB over 98.2 innings.

Managing shoulder issue Manager Mark Kotsay said after Saturday's game against the Mariners that Jump has a shoulder impingement and will be re-evaluated Sunday, Theo DeRosa of MLB.com reports.

Impact The left-handed felt some tightness while throwing in the bullpen prior to Saturday's start, but he pitched through it and was dealt his 11th loss of the campaign after giving up five runs across two innings. The A's figure to be cautious with Jump down the stretch as his rookie campaign nears the finish line.

Hit hard early in loss Jump (6-11) allowed five runs on five hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out two over two innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Mariners.

Impact Jump didn't have it from the beginning in this game, throwing 28 of 44 pitches for strikes. He gave up a pair of home runs to account for all five runs on his line in his shortest start of the season. Over his last five games, he's allowed 21 runs across 20.2 innings, though he has a 23:9 K:BB in that span. Overall, he's at a 5.47 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 108:46 K:BB through 98.2 innings over 20 starts. Expect the rookie southpaw to take the mound in Cleveland for his next start, but between performance and workload, he appears to be on a short leash.

Fans seven in loss Jump (6-10) allowed two runs on six hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over four innings to take the loss versus the Mariners on Sunday.

Impact Jump wasn't particularly efficient, needing 82 pitches (60 strikes) to get through his four frames. He's fallen short of the five-inning mark in four of his last seven outings, giving up 27 runs over 33.2 innings with a 38:20 K:BB in that span. The 23-year-old southpaw is at a 5.12 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 106:45 K:BB through 96.2 innings over 19 starts in the majors this year. He has totaled 134.2 innings between the majors and Triple-A in 2026, up from 111.2 frames between Double-A and High-A in 2025, so there may be some intent from the Athletics to keep his outings short. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home in a rematch with the Mariners.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in ninth loss Jump (6-9) took the loss Monday, allowing seven runs on six hits and three walks over 4.1 innings against Texas. He struck out two.

Impact Jump worked a scoreless first inning but couldn't keep Texas off the board in any of the next four frames, departing at 91 pitches (53 strikes). The southpaw got off to a solid start in his big-league career but has hit a wall in the second half, compiling a 6.95 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 51:30 K:BB over 44 innings (nine starts) since the All-Star break. He'll take a 5.15 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 99:45 K:BB across 92.2 innings (18 starts) into his next outing, lined up for the weekend against Seattle.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Strikes out nine Tuesday Jump (6-8) earned the win after Tuesday against the Twins, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out nine over 6.1 innings.

Impact Jump kept Minnesota scoreless through six innings before running into trouble in the seventh, when he allowed two runs before being lifted. The left-hander still delivered one of his best performances of the season, pitching into the seventh for the first time since June 18 while generating nine strikeouts, his second-highest total of the year. Jump has now allowed three earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. He's tabbed to make his next start next week against the Rangers.

Chased early in loss Jump (5-8) took the loss against the Royals on Thursday, allowing five runs on eight hits and three walks with three strikeouts over four innings.

Impact Jump allowed runs in three separate frames, throwing 55 of 86 pitches for strikes with only five whiffs. After a double-digit strikeout performance Aug. 8, the 23-year-old has posted an ugly 4:7 K:BB over his past two outings and now owns a 6.75 ERA in seven starts since the All-Star break. He'll carry a 4.83 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 88:40 K:BB across 82 innings this season into a home matchup with the Twins next week.

Settles for no-decision Jump allowed three runs on three hits and four walks while striking out one over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Friday.

Impact Jump kept the Rangers off the board through five innings, but he ran into trouble in the sixth. Jake Burger ended Jump's outing with a one-out, three-run home run. With just a single strikeout Friday, Jump matched his season low. He's now at a 4.50 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 85:37 K:BB through 78 innings over 15 starts this season. The rookie southpaw is projected to make his next start at Kansas City.

Fans career-high 11 Jump (5-7) picked up the win Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over six innings in a 7-3 victory over the Red Sox. He struck out 11.

Impact The 11 Ks were a career high for the rookie left-hander in his 14th big-league start, while the quality start was his fifth. Jump has completed six innings in two of four outings since the All-Star break, but he got tagged for 12 runs in 8.1 frames in the other two trips to the mound. He'll take a 4.46 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 84:33 K:BB through 72.2 innings into his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Rangers.

AUGUST 8 • Associated Press

Wild in loss Jump (4-7) allowed six runs on four hits and six walks while striking out five over 3.2 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Tigers.

Impact Jump has walked at least four batters in three straight outings, giving up 12 runs with a 17:14 K:BB across 14.1 innings in that span. The rookie southpaw hadn't walked that many batters in any of his first 10 outings. He's now at a 4.59 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 73:31 K:BB through 66.2 innings over 13 starts this season. Jump is at least doing a good job of limiting home runs -- he's given up just seven long balls, though he's been tagged for multiple homers three times. He's projected to make his next start at Boston.

Snaps losing streak Jump (4-6) earned the win Tuesday against the Red Sox, allowing three hits and four walks while striking out seven over six scoreless innings.

Impact Jump threw only 53 of his 90 pitches for strikes and issued four walks for the second consecutive start, but he overpowered Boston by generating 19 whiffs. He finished the outing by striking out four of the final six batters he faced and secured his first win since June 18 after dropping five straight decisions. During that losing streak, Jump surrendered 22 runs (20 earned) across 21.2 innings, causing his ERA to climb over two full runs. He now owns a 4.00 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 68:25 K:BB across 63 innings this season and is scheduled to make his next start Sunday against the Tigers.

Struggles continue in loss Jump (3-6) took the loss against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, allowing six runs on eight hits and four walks with five strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

Impact Jump opened with three scoreless innings but unraveled from there, departing at 83 pitches after surrendering three homers and being charged with six earned runs over the fourth and fifth frames. It continued a rough stretch for the rookie, who's lost five straight outings while yielding five earned runs or more three times during that stretch. He owns a 4.42 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 61:21 K:BB across 57 innings this season and lines up to face the Red Sox at home next week.

JULY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Lasts 3.2 innings in loss Jump (3-5) was tagged with the loss Friday against the Nationals after allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and two walks across 3.2 innings. He struck out eight.

Impact The eight punchouts were a nice thing to see, as Jump ended just one away from matching his previous season-high mark in that category, but that was the lone positive aspect of this outing for the 23-year-old southpaw. He's now given up at least four runs in three of his last four appearances, and he's failed to complete four innings in two of the last three. He owns a woeful 7.41 ERA and a 2.06 WHIP across 17 innings over that four-game stretch. His next start is scheduled on the road against the Diamondbacks.

JULY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Gets no help in Saturday's loss Jump (3-4) took the loss Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings as the A's were downed 1-0 by the White Sox. He struck out seven.

Impact The rookie southpaw came up just short of his fourth quality start in nine trips to the mound since joining the A's rotation, as he tossed 59 of 86 pitches for strikes. It was a strong bounce-back effort from Jump after he'd been tagged for 10 earned runs in 7.2 frames over his prior two outings, but he got no offensive support. He'll head into the All-Star break with a 3.51 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 48:15 K:BB through his first 48.2 big-league innings.

Struggles again Sunday Jump (3-3) allowed six runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out one over three innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Marlins.

Impact Jump gave up a pair of home runs, accounting for half of the runs on his line. He's now struggled in consecutive starts, giving up 11 runs on 19 hits and three walks over his last 7.2 innings, though both starts came at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park in Sacramento. Jump is at a 3.98 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 41:13 K:BB through 43 innings over his first eight major-league starts. He's tentatively projected to make his next start on the road versus the White Sox.

JULY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Not up to challenge from Dodgers Jump (3-2) allowed five runs on 11 hits and struck out five without walking a batter over 4.2 innings to take the loss Monday versus the Dodgers.

Impact Jump had walked at least one batter in each of his first six starts. The Dodgers didn't waste time with the bats, as the 11 hits were a season high against Jump, who wasn't up to the challenge of one of the most fearsome lineups in baseball. Despite his poor performance Monday, the rookie southpaw still has a 2.93 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 40:10 K:BB over 40 innings. He'll look to get back on track at home versus the Marlins over the weekend.
