J.T. Ginn - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Fades in sixth inning Ginn (8-7) allowed four runs on eight hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over six innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Rangers.

Impact Ginn had allowed just one run through five frames, but he faded in the sixth. Wyatt Langford's two-run home run ultimately cost Ginn not only a chance at the win but also took him out of contention for a quality start. Ginn has allowed 10 runs (eight earned) over 18 innings since he returned from a finger blister. On the year, he has a 3.53 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 114:53 K:BB through 127.1 innings over 25 games (22 starts). His next outing is projected to be on the road in Kansas City.

He'll take a 3.41 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 107:53 K:BB across 121.1 innings this season into a home matchup with the Rangers next weekend.

Tosses quality start in return Ginn didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Reds, giving up three runs on five hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out five.

Impact Making his first start since July 18 after dealing with blister issues, Ginn threw 54 of 91 pitches for strikes en route to his 10th quality start of the season before leaving the mound with the score tied 3-3. The right-hander has been tagged with three earned runs or fewer in seven of his last eight outings dating back to June 15, posting a 4.09 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 40:21 K:BB in 44 innings during that span. Ginn will look to get back in the win column in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road this weekend in Boston.

Reinstated for Tuesday's start The Athletics activated Ginn (finger) from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Impact Ginn has been on the shelf the past couple weeks due to a finger blister, but he'll rejoin the Athletics' rotation after spending the 15-day minimum on the IL. The right-hander is coming off one of his better starts of the campaign, as he allowed just one hit with seven strikeouts and three walks over 6.1 scoreless frames his last time out versus the Nationals.

Rejoining rotation Tuesday Ginn (finger) will be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game at Cincinnati, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander landed on the shelf due to a blister after his first start coming out of the All-Star break, but he's ready to rejoin the big-league rotation after throwing a bullpen session Saturday. Even with an eight-run blowup versus the White Sox on July 12 inflating his numbers, Ginn has 6-3 record with a 3.72 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 52:26 K:BB in 55.2 innings across his past 10 starts.

AUGUST 2 • ROTOWIRE

Slated for another bullpen Saturday Ginn is scheduled to throw a bullpen Saturday and could rejoin the Athletics' rotation next week if all goes well, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Ginn has been sidelined since July 22 due to a blister on his right middle finger but is trending toward a short stay on the injured list. He threw bullpens Monday and Wednesday with no issues, and if no setbacks arise during Saturday's session, the right-hander could slot back into the Athletics' rotation as soon as Tuesday against the Reds. Ginn has put together a solid campaign, posting an 8-6 record with a 3.46 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 100:49 K:BB across 109.1 innings (22 appearances).

Completes bullpen session Monday Ginn (finger) threw a bullpen Monday and is scheduled to throw another one Wednesday, per MLB.com.

Impact Ginn landed on the injured list last week due to a blister on his right middle finger, but he shouldn't remain shelved much longer. The right-hander is eligible to return Aug. 3, and provided he comes out of Wednesday's session with no issues, the 27-year-old could reclaim his spot in the rotation as soon as Aug. 4 against the Reds. In 109.1 innings (22 appearances) this season, Ginn owns an 8-6 record with a 3.46 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 100:49 K:BB.

Shelved due to blister The Athletics placed Ginn on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a blister on his right middle finger.

Impact Though the injury appears to be a minor concern for Ginn that could allow him to return from the shelf when first eligible Aug. 3, it's nonetheless a frustrating development after he had delivered a gem of an outing his last time out Saturday. In that start, Ginn improved to 8-6 on the season and lowered his ERA to 3.46 and his WHIP to 1.22 while striking out seven batters and limiting the Nationals to one hit and three walks across 6.1 innings. The Athletics recalled righty Mason Barnett from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move, and he could be a candidate to enter the rotation the next time Ginn's turn comes up this weekend in Minnesota.

Teases no-no in easy victory Ginn (8-6) earned the win over Washington on Saturday, allowing one hit and issuing three walks while striking out seven batters over 6.1 scoreless innings.

Impact The A's jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, and Ginn hit cruise control from there. He didn't allow a hit until the seventh frame, when Keibert Ruiz stroked a single to center field with one out. Manager Mark Kotsay decided that would be the final batter of Ginn's outing despite the fact that the hurler was at only 82 pitches. Though he fell short of etching his name in the history books, Ginn rebounded nicely from the eight-run, 4.1-frame blowup he posted against the White Sox in his final start of the first half. Even including that mauling, Ginn has nice numbers overall, posting an 8-6 record along with a 3.46 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 100:49 K:BB over 109.1 innings spanning 22 appearances (19 starts).

Tagged for career-high eight runs Ginn (7-6) took the loss Sunday against the White Sox, allowing eight runs on six hits and three walks while striking out seven over 4.1 innings.

Impact Ginn's outing unraveled quickly after Sam Antonacci launched a leadoff homer to spark a six-run first inning for Chicago. The right-hander did finish the outing with seven strikeouts and retired nine straight batters at one point, but a single and a walk to begin the fifth ended his afternoon and Chicago tacked on three more runs following the exit, leaving him charged with a career-high eight earned runs. Despite Sunday's rough outing, Ginn was reliable for much of the first half, posting a 3.67 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 93:46 K:BB across 103 innings, and will have the opportunity to bounce back after the All-Star break.

Looks ready to roll for Sunday The Athletics list Ginn (illness) as their scheduled starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Jason Burke of Roundtable.io reports.

Impact Ginn had to be lifted from Tuesday's outing versus the Tigers due to illness, but it seems he is recovered and ready to take the ball this weekend for his final start of the first half. The right-hander has authored a 3.10 ERA and 86:43 K:BB over 98.2 innings covering 17 starts and three relief appearances for the Athletics this season.

Battling illness Ginn was removed from Tuesday's game against the Tigers due to an illness, Jason Burke of Roundtable.io reports.

Impact Ginn gave up two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out four batters before leaving the game after four innings. Manager Mark Kotsay said after the game that the right-hander's energy level was dropping rapidly during his start, which likely was a major reason for his diminished velocity. He's tentatively scheduled to start the final game of the first half on the road Sunday against the White Sox, though it will be worth monitoring his health as the weekend approaches.
