• Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Roughed up in no-decision

  09/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Ginn did not factor into the decision Saturday against the White Sox, allowing three runs on 10 hits over four innings. He struck out three without issuing a walk. Ginn was knocked around by the White Sox, giving up three or more hits in each of the first three innings. The rookie right-hander was making his fourth consecutive start after pitching in relief in his first two big-league appearances. This was Ginn's first start in which he doesn't complete five innings, but he's allowed multiple runs in each of those four starts. The 25-year-old will carry a 4.94 ERA into his next start, currently scheduled against the Yankees.

• Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Drawing another start

  09/03/2024 • By RotoWire

  Ginn is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Mariners in Oakland. Ginn will receive a second turn through the rotation after he surrendered four runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four across five innings in his first MLB start this past Thursday in Cincinnati. The Athletics will likely give the 25-year-old right-hander some runway in a starting role during September as he looks to make a case for a permanent spot in the big-league rotation in 2025.

• Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Making first MLB start Thursday

  08/28/2024 • By RotoWire

  Ginn is scheduled to start Thursday's game against the Reds in Cincinnati, Jessica Kleinschmidt of the Oakland Athletics Radio Network reports. After being called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Aug. 20, Ginn made his first two appearances for Oakland out of the bullpen, striking out four batters over 3.2 innings while giving up one run on one hit and three walks. With the Athletics well out of the mix for playoff contention heading into the final month of the season, Ginn could end up being part of a six-man rotation, though the club will likely wait and see how he fares in his first MLB start Thursday before determining how he'll be used moving forward. Prior to his call-up last week, Ginn turned in a 5.72 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 69:30 K:BB over 72.1 innings across 15 outings (14 starts) with Las Vegas in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League.
