Athletics

J.T. Ginn

SP

In a pair of corresponding moves Tuesday, the Athletics reinstated Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (groin) from the 60-day injured list and placed Max Muncy (knee) on the 10-day injured list. Ginn faced the possibility of returning at the end of the 2026 season, but he was behind schedule in his recovery program, which inevitably led to his season concluding early. The starting pitcher landed on the 15-day injured list at the beginning of September due to a right elbow impingement.

Max Muncy

3B

Muncy's 2026 season has come to a close by landing on the 10-day injured list. He finished the year with a .230/.296/.387 slash line and nine home runs across 284 plate appearances in 82 games. In corresponding moves Tuesday, the Athletics reinstated Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (groin) from the 60-day injured list and transferred J.T. Ginn (elbow) to the 60-day injured list.

Brooks Kriske

RP

The 32-year-old righty made just two relief appearances for the Athletics before landing on the injured list May 13 due to the shoulder injury. After making limited progress over the past few months while he worked his way through a throwing program, Kriske eventually opted for surgery to address the injury. He'll likely be a non-tender candidate heading into the upcoming offseason.

Brent Rooker

DH

Rooker won't have enough time to return this season from a cartilage tear in his left knee that he suffered in June, but his return to hitting is a good sign that he'll be ready to go by next Opening Day. The A's are optimistic that he will be cleared for batting practice before the end of the season.

Alika Williams

SS

Williams will miss a third consecutive game Saturday as he continues to battle upper-body soreness, and there's a chance the A's -- with nothing to play for -- take a cautious approach and sit him during Sunday's season finale as well. Donovan Walton will get the nod at shortstop Saturday, moving Jeff McNeil to second base and allowing Tommy White to start at first.
