The Athletics re-signed Brooks to a minor-league contract Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks -- who has been assigned to Double-A Midland -- had been pitching in the Mexican League. The 35-year-old made four starts and one relief appearance for the Athletics last season, posting a 5.06 ERA and 12:8 K:BB over 26.2 frames.

The Athletics outrighted Brooks to Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks has the option to elect free agency if he wants, but there's precedent for him not doing so, as he already accepted an outright assignment earlier this month. The righty holds a 5.06 ERA and 12:8 K:BB over 26.2 frames during his time in the majors this season.

The Athletics designated Brooks for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Just two days after having his contract selected by the Athletics, Brooks will now be pushed off the 40-man roster for the second time this month. He allowed one earned run in five innings during Monday's loss to the Angels, though he still holds a 5.06 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in the majors. He'll most likely clear waivers and remain with the organization at Triple-A Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Jack O'Loughlin will come up from the minors to fill the open spot in Oakland's bullpen.

Oakland selected Brooks' contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

After designating Brooks for assignment June 2, the Athletics outrighted him to Las Vegas two days later upon clearing waivers. He's gone 1-1 in his two starts since returning to Triple-A, allowing five runs (three earned) on 11 hits and one walk while striking out eight over nine innings. Though he'll rejoin the big club ahead of Sunday's game against the Twins, Brooks will likely be relegated to a mop-up role out of the bullpen after turning in a 5.82 ERA in his four starts with Oakland earlier this season.

Brooks cleared waivers Tuesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Las Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks was designated for assignment Sunday after posting a 5.82 ERA and 1.62 WHIP through 21.2 innings across four starts. Barring a significant turnaround in the minors, it is unlikely the 34-year-old right-hander returns to Oakland's rotation this season.

The Athletics designated Brooks for assignment on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks joined Oakland's rotation in mid-May but won't retain his place on the 40-man roster after he made four starts and posted a 5.82 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB over 21.2 innings. Luis Medina (knee) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move and will start Sunday in Atlanta.

Brooks allowed seven runs on seven hits and a walk over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against Atlanta. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

Five of the seven runs charged to Brooks came in Atlanta's six-run fifth inning. The 34-year-old right-hander now sports a 5.82 ERA with a 1.62 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB over 21.2 innings -- he came into the day with a 3.63 ERA through his first three starts. Brooks will look for a better result in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week at home versus Toronto.

Brooks (0-2) allowed five runs (one earned) on nine hits and three walks over 4.1 innings Sunday, striking out one and taking a loss against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks worked around some danger in each of the first three innings without allowing a run before the Astros broke out for five runs in the fourth. Fortunately for him, only one run was earned before a throwing error by Max Schuemann. Brooks fired a quality start in each of his first two MLB appearances this season but needed 90 pitches to get through 4.1 innings Sunday. He now owns a 3.63 ERA with a 9:5 K:BB through 17.1 innings. Brooks' next start is lined up to be in Atlanta next weekend.

Brooks did not factor into the decision in the Athletics' win over the Rockies on Tuesday, allowing three earned runs on six hits and a walk over six innings. He also hit a batter and struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

The three runs off the journeyman right-hander came from home runs, as Ryan McMahon tagged him for a two-run shot in the first before Ezequiel Tovar slugged one of his two round-trippers on the night in the fifth. Otherwise, Brooks turned in a smooth, efficient outing, one that saw him get through his six frames on just 85 pitches. The 34-year-old has been a pleasant surprise with consecutive quality starts since being called up from Triple-A Las Vegas last Wednesday, and with Paul Blackburn (foot), Alex Wood (shoulder) and Joe Boyle (back) all on the injured list, Brooks lines up for another turn Sunday at home against the Astros, a team he held to three runs over seven frames in his season debut last Wednesday.

Brooks is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Rockies in Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

After having not started in the big leagues since 2019, the 34-year-old Brooks was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas last week and impressed in his move into the Oakland rotation, tossing seven innings of three-run ball while striking out five in a loss to the Mariners. With three Oakland starters currently on the 15-day injured list and four more starting candidates on the 60-day IL, Brooks looks like he'll have a hold on a rotation spot until the Athletics' pitching staff gets healthier.
