  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Undergoes forearm surgery

    Athletics general manager David Forst revealed Friday that Rooker underwent right forearm extensor surgery Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Rooker evidently dealt with discomfort in his elbow/forearm for the bulk of the season. It certainly didn't affect his performance at the plate, as he posted a .927 OPS with 39 home runs, but it could be at least part of the reason he didn't start a game in the outfield after May. Rooker is expected to be 100 percent healthy for the start of spring training.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Launches 39th homer

    Rooker went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in an extra-inning loss to the Mariners on Saturday.

    Rooker took Emerson Hancock deep in the fifth inning with Max Schuemann aboard to cut a 3-0 deficit to one run. The round tripper marked Rooker's first time leaving the yard since Sept. 16 and puts him just one shy of reaching the 40-homer mark heading into the final day of the regular season Sunday.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Another productive offensive day

    Rooker went 2-for-3 with an RBI infield single, a stolen base and a walk in a win over the Cubs on Wednesday. He was also caught stealing on another attempt.

    Rooker continued his torrid September run Wednesday with his eighth multi-hit effort in 17 games. The slugger got it done with some small ball in the matinee victory after having belted his 36th and 37th home runs of the season on back-to-back days to begin the week. Rooker's on-base streak now sits at 28 games as well, a stretch that dates back to Aug. 20 and has seen him generate a .357/.421/.634 slash line with 13 extra-base hits and 27 RBI across 126 plate appearances.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Launches 37th homer Sunday

    Rooker went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the White Sox on Sunday.

    Rooker's 407-foot shot to center with Lawrence Butler aboard in the fifth inning accounted for Oakland's first runs of the game. The round tripper pushed Rooker's career-best season total to 37 and was his fourth in the last 10 games alone, while the two RBI the big swing generated were his 12th and 13th during that same span.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Keeps rolling in Saturday's loss

    Rooker went 3-for-5 with a two-run single and a run in a loss to the White Sox on Saturday.

    Rooker got it done the small-ball way Saturday, extending his on-base streak to 24 games with his sixth multi-hit effort in 13 September contests. Rooker has just one extra-base hit in his last seven games, but he's been a true Renaissance man with the bat in a breakout 2024 by complementing his 63 XBHs with a career-high 10 steals and career-best 9.5 percent walk rate.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Homer, stolen base Thursday

    Rooker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Astros.

    Rooker tied the game in the top of the eighth inning with a 420-foot solo shot off Framber Valdez, his 36th homer this year. The 29-year-old Rooker has been on a tear at the plate, going 28-for-75 (.373) with seven homers and 18 RBI over his last 18 games. His slash line is up to .298/.370/.580 with 102 RBI, 76 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 548 plate appearances this season.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Plates two in three-hit effort

    Rooker had an RBI double in the 10th inning and a sacrifice fly in the 12th, tying the game on both plays. He's gone 19-for-42 (.452) during a 10-game hitting streak. Rooker is at a .301/.373/.589 slash line with 35 homers, 99 RBI, 74 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 125 contests this year.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Homers twice in loss

    Rooker went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Mariners.

    Rooker took Bryan Woo deep in the fifth inning and then Andres Munoz in the ninth but still couldn't lead his team to a win. Rooker also extended his hitting streak to a career-best nine games in the process. The 29-year-old now has 35 home runs this season, surpassing Jose Ramirez for fifth most in the American League. Rooker is seeking to become the first Oakland hitter since 2021 to finish a season top five in the American League homer race.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Raps out four hits in loss

    Rooker went 4-for-5 with an RBI single in an extra-inning loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

    The Athletics stranded 11 men overall Sunday, but Rooker went 2-for-3 with runners in scoring position. That included a fifth-inning single that plated Jacob Wilson with Oakland's first run of the day, pushing Rooker's RBI total to eight over the last eight games. The multi-hit tally was also Rooker's third consecutive, and he now boasts a .295 average and elite .951 OPS across 503 plate appearances this season.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Nabs eighth steal

    Rooker went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.

    The top two hitters in the Oakland order, Rooker and Lawrence Butler, accounted for all the team's offense and four of its five hits on the night. Rooker closed the books on a productive August that saw him slash .275/.365/.538 with seven homers, 14 RBI and 16 runs in 24 games, and Saturday's steal was his eighth of the year -- doubling his previous career high set in 2023. The 29-year-old needs just nine more RBI to reach 100 for the first time in his career.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Two solo shots in win

    Rooker went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo homers, a walk and an additional run scored in Friday's 9-2 win at Texas.

    The Oakland designated hitter opened the game's scoring when he slugged a 416-foot solo home run off Jon Gray in the first inning. Rooker then returned in the seventh to crack another solo homer, this one travelling 397 feet, off reliever Dane Dunning. The one-time All-Star is having a career year, as he's slashing .287/.366/.575 with 33 homers, 90 RBI, 69 runs scored and seven steals in 494 plate appearances.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Launches 31st homer Wednesday

    Rooker went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a win over the Reds on Wednesday.

    It was a banner night for the Athletics' offense, and Rooker, its most prodigious power hitter, got in on the fun with a 432-foot shot to left center in the sixth inning to extend Oakland's lead to 3-0. The blast also extended the slugger's on-base streak to eight games, a stretch in which he's hitting only .233 but has completed that figure with a .343 OBP and .467 slugging percentage across 35 plate appearances.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Reaches 30 homers

    Rooker went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 9-5 loss to the Brewers.

    His two-run shot in the sixth inning off Colin Rea came when Oakland had already fallen into a 5-1 hole. Rooker has proven that last year's breakout wasn't his ceiling, and while his 30 homers matches his career-high total from last year, the 29-year-old's 87 RBI and .935 OPS blow away his 2023 production.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Two hits in Sunday's loss

    Rooker went 2-for-5 in the Athletics' extra-inning loss to the Giants on Sunday.

    Rooker had gone 0-for-3 with a walk in his return from the paternity list Saturday, but he upped his production Sunday by generating his fourth multi-hit effort of the last five games. The veteran outfielder is in the stretch run of what has turned out to be a career season, as he's already boasting a career-high 83 RBI and is just one home run away from equaling the 30 he belted in 2023. Rooker's .942 OPS is also far and away the highest of his major-league tenure when factoring out his initial seven-game cameo with the Twins back in 2020.
