Lands on 15-day IL The Athletics placed Ginn on the 15-day injured list Saturday due a right elbow impingement.

Impact Ginn last pitched Aug. 26 and had his following start scratched due to what was initially described as fatigue and soreness. The A's provided more clarity about the injury Saturday, and Ginn's move to the IL means he's not eligible to return until Sept. 20. Given the nature of the injury and the fact the A's aren't in playoff contention, it's possible that Ginn's 2026 campaign has come to an end, but the team is "leaving the door open" for him to make one more start this season, according to Martin Gallegos of MLB.com.

May be done for season Ginn (undisclosed) has made minimal progress and may not pitch again this season, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact The A's pushed Ginn back from his most recent start and will send him to see an orthopedist Saturday to get a better read on the right-hander's condition. So far, the team has not provided specifics beyond fatigue and soreness. Ginn has not yet been placed on the injured list, but it sounds like that could happen in the coming days.

Dealing with soreness Ginn (undisclosed) is dealing with some fatigue/soreness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Ginn had his latest turn in the rotation skipped Tuesday against Texas, and he's dealing with some unspecified fatigue/soreness prior to Thursday's series opener with the Mariners. The right-hander won't pitch at all during the team's four-game series in Seattle, and the A's haven't made a decision on a potential stint on the injured list for Ginn.

Next start pushed back Ginn will no longer start Tuesday's game against the Rangers, as the Athletics want to give him additional rest before his next outing, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Ginn has already logged a career-high 138.1 innings this season, so the decision to push him back could simply be about managing his workload. The right-hander is expected to make a start later this week in Seattle, though the exact date hasn't been revealed.

Picks up ninth win Ginn (9-8) allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings to earn the win over the Twins on Wednesday.

Impact Ginn got off to a rocky start, allowing three runs over the first inning, but the Athletics' surge on offense in the sixth put him in line for the win. It's been a middling month for Ginn, who has allowed 17 runs (15 earned) over 29 innings across his five starts this month, with this outing being his first win in that span. For the season, he's at a 3.71 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 121:57 K:BB through 138.1 innings over 27 games (24 starts). He's projected to make his next start on the road versus the Rangers.

Impact Ginn opened with three scoreless frames before allowing runs in the fourth and fifth, throwing 57 of 94 pitches for strikes with nine whiffs. After opening the second half with three straight quality starts, the 27-year-old has now yielded seven earned runs over back-to-back losses. He owns a 3.60 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 118:55 K:BB across 132.1 innings this season and lines up for a home matchup with the Twins next week.

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.

Logs quality start in no-decision Ginn did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Red Sox, allowing three runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks with two strikeouts over six innings.

Impact Despite throwing just 54 of 95 pitches for strikes, Ginn battled to earn his second straight quality start since returning from the injured list Tuesday. The 27-year-old has now logged a quality start in each of his three second-half outings, posting a 1.96 ERA over 18.1 innings during that span. 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.

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).

AUGUST 1 • ROTOWIRE

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.
