Ginn (1-1) took the loss versus the Brewers on Friday, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out seven over 4.2 innings.
Ginn's second start of the season didn't go as well as his first, though he showed some strikeout upside again. The Brewers got to him for two runs in the third inning and tacked another onto his line in the fifth after he exited for reliever Jacob Lopez. Ginn has allowed four runs on nine hits and four walks while striking out 13 over 10 innings across his two starts. If he stays in the rotation, he's tentatively scheduled for a tough home start versus the Rangers next week.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Getting another start
Rotowire
Ginn is scheduled to start Friday's game in Milwaukee.
Called up from Triple-A Las Vegas last Saturday to replace the struggling Joey Estes in the rotation, Ginn spun a gem in his 2025 debut with the Athletics, limiting the Mets to one run on five hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.1 innings. He'll unsurprisingly stick around for another turn through the rotation, and Ginn's ability to keep the ball on the ground should come in handy at American Family Field, which has historically been one of the better ballparks in baseball for home-run production.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Earns win in 2025 debut
Rotowire
Ginn (1-0) came away with the win against the Mets on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out six across 5.1 innings.
Ginn was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas and was named as the starter for Saturday's game. He was able to navigate through some sticky situations through the first five innings, but he couldn't maintain the shutout, giving up a solo home run to Brandon Nimmo in the sixth. Ginn was two outs shy from registering the quality start, but it was still an excellent outing for the 25-year-old right-hander in what was the seventh major-league start in his career. Ginn is slated to start next week on the road against the Brewers.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Recalled ahead of start
Rotowire
The Athletics recalled Ginn from Triple-A Las Vegas ahead of his start Saturday against the Mets.
The 25-year-old righty will be replacing Joey Estes in the Athletics' rotation, as the latter was relegated to the minors following a poor performance Sunday. Ginn, meanwhile, has hit the ground running in the minors with a 1.64 ERA and 0.64 WHIP alongside a 19:2 K:BB through 11 innings. Angel Perdomo was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Named Saturday's starter
Rotowire
The Athletics will recall Ginn from Triple-A Las Vegas to start Saturday's game against the Mets, Jessica Kleinschmidt of Baseball America reports.
The A's were down a man in their rotation after optioning Joey Estes to Triple-A following his ugly outing Sunday, so they'll now give Ginn another look in the big leagues. The 25-year-old righty has pitched well in the minors this season, allowing just two runs in 11 innings while striking out 19 batters and walking two.
The Athletics optioned Ginn to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.
Ginn was in contention for a spot in the Athletics' Opening Day rotation heading into camp, but he'll open the season in the minors after struggling over his five Cactus League outings (7.62 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB in 13 innings). If the right-hander can iron out his control issues at Triple-A, he should be one of the top candidates to enter the rotation if the Athletics are in need of another starter at any point this season.

Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Control issues this spring
Rotowire
Ginn gave up four runs with two strikeouts over 2.2 innings in Monday's spring training loss to the White Sox. He has a 10.00 ERA and a 9:7 K:BB in nine innings this spring.
Ginn looks set to begin the season at Triple-A despite finishing last year in the big-league rotation. He'll likely be among the first pitchers called up if there's an opening, however.
Ginn (1-1) picked up the win Thursday against Texas, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks across 5.1 innings. He struck out two.
The 25-year-old rookie logged his first MLB victory Thursday in front of a sold-out crowd for the Athletics' final game at the Oakland Coliseum. Ginn's now surrendered two or fewer runs in back-to-back starts, and he owns a 4.45 ERA across six starts (30.1 innings) this season. Ginn also tallied a 25:6 K:BB as a starter.
Ginn allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings in a no-decision versus the Yankees on Friday.
Ginn completed five frames for the fourth time in his five starts this year, and this was one of his better performances. He limited the damage to a game-tying RBI single by Anthony Volpe in the fifth inning. Ginn hasn't looked uncomfortable at the major-league level, turning in an acceptable 4.40 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 27:7 K:BB over 28.2 innings across seven outings. His last start of the campaign is tentatively set to be at home versus the Rangers.
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.
