INJURIES
Sent back to minors The Athletics optioned Barnett to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.
Impact Barnett needed 43 pitches to cover two-plus innings Sunday versus the White Sox in his lone appearance in the majors. Since Barnett would have been unavailable to pitch for a day or two, the Athletics have summoned a fresh bullpen arm to take his roster spot.

Recalled by Athletics The Athletics recalled Barnett from Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.
Impact Barnett opened the 2026 season in the minors after failing to make the Athletics' Opening Day roster. He has a 2-0 record across three starts in Triple-A with a 3.07 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 14:10 K:BB across 14.2 innings. The Athletics optioned Elvis Alvarado to Las Vegas in a corresponding move, indicating that Barnett will likely operate out of the A's bullpen in a long-relief role.
APRIL 18 • ROTOWIRE
Falls short of Opening Day roster The Athletics optioned Barnett to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.
Impact Barnett made five late-season starts for the Athletics in 2025, submitting a 6.85 ERA and 1.66 WHIP across 22.1 innings in what was his first taste of the big leagues. With the Athletics rotation in better health heading into 2026, Barnett wasn't able to clinch a spot on the Opening Day roster, but he should be one of the top candidates to get a call-up from Triple-A whenever the big club is in need of a spot starter.

Does fine in last start of season Barnett allowed three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Royals on Friday.
Impact This was the longest of Barnett's five starts in the majors so far, and the lone mistake he made was a three-run home run by Jonathan India in the fourth inning. Through 22.1 innings in the majors, Barnett has posted a 6.85 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB while also allowing three home runs. The right-hander will contend for a rotation spot next year, but he could be entering a crowded battle depending on how much turnover the Athletics go through in the offseason.

Another short start Wednesday Barnett didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's loss against the Red Sox, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out two over four innings
Impact The rookie right-hander gave up a run in the first inning before serving up a solo homer to Rob Refsnyder in the second. While he managed to avoid further damage, Barnett has now surrendered 14 runs in just 16.2 innings since his call-up, struggling to find consistency at the major-league level to the tune of a 7.56 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB across four starts. The 24-year-old has only tallied more than four innings once in those four outings. Barnett is slated to face the Astros in his next scheduled start.

Short outing vs. Boston Barnett did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Red Sox, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk across 3.2 innings. He struck out four.
Impact Barnett's major-league career has gotten off to a rocky start -- the right-hander's given up 12 runs across 12.2 innings in his first three starts. Barnett is currently scheduled to face the Red Sox again on the road in his next start, though it's unclear how long he'll remain in the rotation with Jacob Lopez (elbow) expected to return before the end of the season.

Collects first win Barnett (1-1) allowed four runs on three hits and five walks while striking out eight over five innings to earn the win versus the Angels on Friday.
Impact The Athletics' third-inning explosion gave Barnett enough run support, and the rookie right-hander was able to grind out five innings on 102 pitches (55 strikes) to secure his first win in the majors. It was still far from an encouraging performance for the 24-year-old, who has now given up nine runs with a 9:5 K:BB over his first nine innings in the majors. The Athletics are far out of the wild-card race and have a handful of injuries in the rotation, so there's some room for Barnett to learn on the job. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Red Sox.

Receiving another start Barnett is slated to start Friday's game against the Angels in Anaheim.
Impact After being called up from Triple-A Las Vegas, Barnett made his first MLB start this past Saturday, taking a loss to the Rangers while allowing five earned runs on eight hits and no walks over four innings. The 25-year-old righty will get a chance to redeem himself Friday, but another poor showing could put him at risk of losing his spot in the Athletics rotation.

Poor first impression in debut Barnett (0-1) allowed five runs on eight hits and struck out one without walking a batter over four-plus innings to take the loss versus the Rangers on Saturday.
Impact Barnett gave up three runs in the second inning, and he was chased in the fifth after Wyatt Langford's solo home run. Barnett was limited to 66 pitches (42 strikes) in his major-league debut. He has a 5.83 ERA and 123:60 K:BB across 117.1 innings with Triple-A Las Vegas this year, which doesn't bode well for his performance in the majors. If he gets another start, which is possible due to the numerous injuries in the Athletics' rotation, he's tentatively projected to face the Angels on the road.
