Joey Estes - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Recalled to majors The Athletics recalled Estes from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Jason Burke of Roundtable.io reports.

Impact Estes has mostly struggled in the harsh pitching conditions of the Pacific Coast League this season, posting a 6.88 ERA and 1.64 WHIP over 86.1 innings with Las Vegas. He has worked exclusively as a starter this year and could step into the open rotation spot vacated by Jack Perkins, who was sent down in a corresponding move.

Returns to Triple-A Estes was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

Impact The right-hander made a spot start Saturday against the Rockies and will return to the minors after giving up four runs over 4.1 frames in a no-decision. It was the first MLB outing of the campaign for Estes, who has a 5.95 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 39:28 K:BB across 59 innings (12 starts) at Triple-A this year.

Chased in fifth inning Estes allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Saturday.

Impact Estes was making his season debut at the major-league level. He was fine initially, but he gave up a solo home run to Brett Sullivan in the third inning and started to labor in the fifth. Estes was pulled at 71 pitches (47 strikes), and the Athletics' bullpen took care of business to help the team earn a win. This was likely a spot start for him -- Aaron Civale (shoulder) is set to return next week, and it's unlikely Estes will stay in the rotation over Gage Jump or Jack Perkins.

Drawing spot start Saturday Estes is slated to start Saturday's game against the Rockies at Las Vegas Ballpark, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Athletics recalled Estes from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, and after he wasn't needed in relief in any of the team's ensuing three games, he'll be available to step into the vacant spot in the rotation for his 2026 MLB debut. The 24-year-old righty is likely in line for just a spot start, as Aaron Civale (shoulder) is poised to return from the 15-day injured list to slot into the rotation next week following a successful rehab outing with the Triple-A club Thursday. Estes will be making his start in a familiar setting Saturday with the Athletics hosting the Rockies at their Triple-A park in Las Vegas, but he shouldn't be on the radar as a streaming option while pitching 2,000 feet above sea level in extreme heat. He submitted a 5.95 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 39:28 K:BB across 59 innings over his 12 starts in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League prior to his call-up.

Recalled from Triple-A The Athletics recalled Estes from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Impact Estes has accumulated a 5.95 ERA and 1.49 WHIP in 59 innings (12 starts) at Triple-A this season, but he'll be welcomed back into the majors as the replacement for Kade Morris. Estes has worked almost exclusively as a starter throughout his professional career, so he figures to fill the opening in the Athletics' rotation left by Morris' demotion.

Cut from big-league camp The Athletics optioned Estes to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Impact After overcoming a herniated disc in his lower back, Estes threw 2.2 scoreless innings in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the White Sox in his spring training debut. He now finds himself cut from big-league camp a day later. Estes is ticketed for the Triple-A Las Vegas rotation at the start of the season.

Ready for spring action Estes (back) is scheduled to make his spring debut during Tuesday's Cactus League game against the White Sox, Jason Burke of SI.com reports.

Impact The right-hander finished last season on the injured list due to a herniated disc in his lower back, and he ramped up slowly early on in spring training. Estes made just three appearances for the A's last season and spent most of the campaign at Triple-A Las Vegas, where he struggled to a 5.51 ERA across 80 innings.
