Fans six in no-decision Ginn allowed three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against Seattle on Monday.

Impact Ginn fell behind quickly, giving up a pair of runs in the first inning and another in the second. He was able to settle down from there, however, keeping the Mariners out of the scoring column the rest of the way. Ginn's six punchouts were a season high, and he issued just one free pass after walking four batters in his previous outing. The right-hander began the season in the bullpen but has now worked as a starter in each of his past three appearances. In those three starts, he's allowed five runs over a combined 14.2 frames while posting a 13:6 K:BB.

Does fine in no-decision Ginn allowed two runs on two hits and four walks while striking out three over 5.1 innings in a no-decision Wednesday versus the Rangers.

Impact Ginn gave up a two-run home run to Corey Seager in the third inning but was able to limit the damage there. In his second start of the season, Ginn threw 47 of 78 pitches for strikes, suggesting he's one or two starts away from being fully stretched out after opening the year as a reliever. He's maintained a3.31 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 11:7 K:BB across 16.1 innings over five appearances this season. If he stays in the rotation, he is tentatively projected to make his next start on the road in Seattle.

Picking up another start Wednesday Ginn is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Rangers at Sutter Health Park, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Ginn won a bullpen job with the Athletics coming out of spring training, but after making his first three appearances of the season as a reliever, he moved into the rotation last Friday in place of Luis Morales, who was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas. The right-hander handled a limited workload while taking a no-decision in the Athletics' 4-0 win over the Mets, working four innings and striking out four while allowing just one hit and one walk. He tossed 68 pitches in that start and could be pushed up into the 75-to-85 range Wednesday.

Tosses four frames in no-decision Ginn didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Mets. He tossed four scoreless innings, allowing a hit and a walk while striking out four.

Impact Ginn had allowed four runs with a 4:2 K:BB over seven innings out of the bullpen this season before making this start, and he looked poised, tossing 44 of his 68 pitches for strikes and limiting the damage to just two baserunners. It remains to be seen if Ginn will remain in the rotation, but if he does, his next start would tentatively come against the Rangers at home next week.

Tapped to start Friday's game Ginn will be the Athletics' starting pitcher for Friday's game against the Mets, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Athletics created a vacancy in their rotation by optioning the struggling Luis Morales earlier this week, and Ginn will fill that void. It will be the first starting assignment this season for Ginn, who has yielded four runs with a 4:2 K:BB over seven innings out of the bullpen so far this season. The 26-year-old collected a 5.08 ERA and 99:31 K:BB over 90.1 frames covering 16 starts and seven relief outings for the A's in 2025.

Part of Opening Day bullpen The Athletics announced Monday that Ginn will be part of the team's bullpen to begin the season, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Ginn has made 22 of his 31 career appearances with the Athletics as a starter and was given the chance to compete for a rotation spot in spring training, but he'll ultimately have to settle for a spot in the bullpen after yielding a 10.60 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB over 15 innings during the Cactus League. With Jack Perkins beginning the season at Triple-A Las Vegas and Ginn and Luis Medina slated to operate as multi-inning options out of the bullpen, the Athletics will head into Opening Day with Luis Severino, Jeffrey Springs, Jacob Lopez, Luis Morales and Aaron Civale as their five-man rotation.

Surrenders six runs in spring loss Ginn allowed six runs on five hits and two hit-by-pitches across two-thirds of an inning in Thursday's Cactus League loss to the Mariners. He struck out one.

Impact Ginn made his first relief appearance of the spring and was hit hard, entering in the seventh inning and hitting Rob Refsnyder with his first pitch before things unraveled into a six-run frame. The right-hander was unable to finish the inning, getting lifted for Brooks Kriske after a two-out, three-RBI double by Cal Raleigh. After looking sharp in his first two Cactus League starts with improved velocity, Ginn has faltered since, allowing 14 runs across his past three outings, with his sinker averaging 92.2 mph Thursday, down from 93.4 mph last season. This rough stretch leaves the 26-year-old on the outside looking in for an Opening Day roster spot in either a starting or relief role, and he's likely ticketed to begin the year at Triple-A Las Vegas.

Scoreless spring outing Ginn allowed one hit and two walks across three scoreless innings in Sunday's Cactus League win over the Reds. He struck out two.

Impact Ginn turned in another solid outing and is now up to five scoreless innings across two appearances this spring. After topping out at 98 mph and averaging 96.9 mph on his sinker in his first appearance, the right-hander averaged 94.1 mph on the pitch Sunday with a high of 95.3 mph, still an improvement over last season's 93.4 mph average mark. Competing with Jacob Lopez (elbow), Luis Morales and Jack Perkins for a spot in the Athletics' rotation, Ginn is making a strong early impression this spring.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Strong showing in spring debut Ginn allowed no hits or walks across two scoreless innings in Monday's Cactus League loss to the Giants.

Impact Ginn came out sharp in his spring debut, striking out the side in the first inning and ultimately retiring all six batters he faced across two scoreless frames. The right-hander struggled to a 5.08 ERA and 1.36 WHIP over 23 appearances (16 starts) spanning 90.1 innings with the Athletics last season. Jacob Lopez and Luis Morales likely have the inside track on the final two rotation spots, but strong spring showings like Monday's will bolster Ginn's case for a role, whether in the starting staff or out of the bullpen.

Rocked for seven runs in loss Ginn (4-7) took the loss against the Astros on Thursday, allowing seven runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four across 3.2 innings.

Impact It was a rough final outing of the season for Ginn, who gave up five runs through the first two innings before yielding two more runs in the fourth frame. He managed to generate 13 whiffs on 81 pitches (47 strikes), but the seven runs he gave up were his most of the season. It's a disappointing end to the 2025 campaign for Ginn, who entered Thursday's contest having yielded two earned runs or less in each of his last three starts. With the Athletics eliminated from playoff contention, Ginn will end the season with a 5.08 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 99:31 K:BB across 90.1 innings.

Six strong innings in fourth win Ginn (4-6) picked up the win Thursday against the Red Sox, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out three.

Impact Thursday marked Ginn's first quality start since July 27 in Houston, and he's now yielded just three runs over his first 15.1 innings of the month. The right-hander also took on a season-high workload, tossing 98 pitches, and he generated an impressive 14 whiffs. Next week's scheduled outing against the division-rival Astros could be the final appearance of the year for Ginn, who'll be looking to build on Thursday's performance and improve his middling 4.57 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 95:28 K:BB over 86.2 innings.
