Athletics' Gunnar Hoglund: Undergoing surgery, likely OFS
Gunnar Hoglund (hip) is undergoing surgery Friday and is expected to miss the rest of the 2025 season, Hoglund's agent announced.Hoglund was placed on the 15-day injured list June 2 due to a left hip impingement, and the injury will require surgery. The procedure is expected to end his 2025 season, but the expectation is that he'll make a full recovery for the 2026 campaign. In six starts with the A's this season, Hoglund logged a 6.40 ERA and a 23:11 K:BB across 32.1 innings. His long-term absence should mean more starting opportunities for Mitch Spence or Jacob Lopez.

Athletics' Gunnar Hoglund: Lands on injured list
Gunnar Hoglund was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday due to a left hip impingement.Hoglund was torched for eight runs on 10 hits in his previous start Saturday, though it's unclear if he suffered the injury during this outing or if this is an issue he's been dealing with for some time. Elvis Alvarado was promoted to the big leagues in one of the team's corresponding moves, but another move is presumably in the works considering Alvarado hasn't made a start this year.

Athletics' Gunnar Hoglund: Loses again Tuesday
Gunnar Hoglund (1-2) allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Angels.Hoglund continues to have trouble with the long ball -- he allowed two home runs Tuesday after giving up three of them in his previous start against the Dodgers. The 25-year-old appeared to run out of steam in the fifth inning, squandering the lead the Athletics had generated in the fourth. Hoglund is now at a 5.06 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 20:6 K:BB across 21.1 innings over four starts. His next start is tentatively projected to be at home versus the Phillies this weekend. Despite his struggles, Hoglund should have a little security in the rotation for the rest of the month after J.T. Ginn (quadriceps) returned to the injured list Tuesday.

Athletics' Gunnar Hoglund: Takes first loss
Gunnar Hoglund (1-1) took the loss Wednesday, giving up four runs on seven hits and three walks over 5.1 innings against the Dodgers. He struck out five.Hoglund allowed just three runs across his first two MLB starts, but Los Angeles tagged him for three homers Wednesday to hand him his first loss. Another major difference from the right-hander's first two outings were free passes, as he entered Wednesday with only one walk issued. With J.T. Ginn (elbow) potentially nearing his return from the injured list, Hoglund's time in the Athletics' rotation could be running out despite a 3.78 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB over 16.1 innings.

Athletics' Gunnar Hoglund: Solid in second outing
Gunnar Hoglund did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Mariners, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out three.Hoglund was sharp early Wednesday, as he held Seattle scoreless through his first four innings. However, he'd allow a run in the fifth before walking two batters in the sixth, both of whom would come around to score against the A's bullpen. Despite the shaky finish, Hoglund's gotten off to a strong start in his big-league career, posting a 2.38 ERA with 10 strikeouts and just one walk through his first two starts (11.1 innings). The 25-year-old Hoglund certainly appears to have done enough to remain in the A's rotation -- he'd line up for a tough road matchup with the Dodgers in his next start.

Athletics' Gunnar Hoglund: Shines in major-league debut
Gunnar Hoglund (1-0) earned the win Friday against Miami after allowing one run on six hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out seven.Making his major-league debut, the 2021 first-rounder mostly cruised through Miami's lineup. Dane Myers took Hoglund deep for a solo homer to lead off the sixth inning, but the Athletics took a 6-0 lead in the fifth to give Hoglund plenty of cushion. The right-hander produced a 2.43 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 30:7 K:BB over 29.2 innings at Triple-A Las Vegas this year, and he almost certainly earned another chance in the rotation with Friday's impressive performance. Hoglund's next turn lines up for next week in a tough test versus the Mariners.
