The White Sox are clawing back from a brutal slump, tied for first in the AL Central after a brutal stretch of eight losses in ten games. Their offense is ice-cold—just two runs in three games—and the bullpen’s shaky. But they’re facing a struggling A’s team that’s lost 13 of 16, despite being better on the road. With Jacob Lopez (ERA over 5) on the mound for the A’s and Sean Burke (3.56 ERA) for...

The A’s send struggling rookie third baseman Max Muncy to Triple-A, as he battles a slump at the plate and defensively — batting just .227 with five homers and 20 RBIs over his last 30 games, despite being a top-25 draft pick with elite potential. With key players returning from injury, the move signals a developmental reset for the 23-year-old, who hasn’t yet played a full MLB season. Can he rebo...

Nick Kurtz, Oakland’s breakout 23-year-old first baseman, was pulled from Wednesday’s game against Detroit after looking uncomfortable fielding a throw — initially feared as a hand injury, but confirmed to be illness. The rookie, drafted fourth overall last year, is crushing it this season with a .271 average, 20 homers, 66 RBIs, and an All-Star start. Relief is palpable — no serious injury, but h...

The Detroit Tigers are crushing it, rolling to their fourth straight win with a 6-1 demolition of the struggling Athletics. Troy Melton dominated for 5⅓ innings, striking out nine while allowing just one unearned run.

The Athletics’ injury woes keep mounting as All-Star slugger Nick Kurtz exits his game early due to illness — just days after teammate J.T. Ginn also pulled out for similar reasons. Though Tyler Soderstrom was activated from the IL, Kurtz’s absence is a major blow: he’s the team’s most powerful hitter and just earned his first All-Star nod. With the lineup already thin, the A’s are turning to Jeff...

Oakland Athletics get a major boost as Tyler Soderstrom returns from a short hip injury, slashing .242 with 13 homers — just in time to help a team sliding at 5.5 games back in the division. His comeback sidelines Max Muncy, whose .227 average and 5 homers have stalled. Meanwhile, rookie Josh Kuroda-Grauer is crushing it at .460, hinting at a bright future. But with four straight losses and the tr...

The A’s bring back Shea Soderstrom, a key bat missed in the lineup, while sending Max Muncy down to Triple-A to work on his swing and consistency. Despite being a first-round pick, Muncy’s recent performance (.210) and the rise of Joshua Kuroda-Grauer have made room for Soderstrom — and Zack Gelof’s strong play at third and in the outfield adds to the tight roster. Muncy’s future is still bright,...

The Tigers’ offense, led by key hits from...
