Kaprielian will start Friday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

The Athletics made a slight alteration to their rotation schedule earlier this week, resulting in Kaprielian missing out on a start during Oakland's three-game series in Houston. The rookie right-hander wasn't needed out of the bullpen, so he'll step back into the rotation in Los Angeles on eight days rest. Kaprielian pitched well in his 2021 debut May 12 against the Red Sox, giving up one run and striking out six in five innings.
