Kaprielian had surgery last August to repair the posterior labrum in his right shoulder.

Kaprielian, 30, has posted a 4.61 ERA and 282:133 K:BB over 318 innings in parts of four seasons at the major-league level.

Kaprielian (shoulder) cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaprielian had been on the 60-day injured list following surgery in August to repair the posterior labrum in his right shoulder. It's not clear how long his rehab is expected to take, but the right-hander will have to prove his health and earn his way back onto the 40-man roster.

Kaprielian (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaprielian underwent shoulder surgery earlier this month, and the A's ultimately moved him to the longest of the injured lists to open up a spot on the 40-man roster. He has been ruled out for the season, so his focus will be on getting ready to pitch again at some point in 2024.

EDGE Analysis

Kaprielian has been on the shelf since late June because of a right shoulder strain and is now officially done for the remainder of the 2023 campaign. The 29-year-old finishes with a 2-6 record, 6.34 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 57:31 K:BB in 11 starts and three relief appearances covering 61 innings.

Kaprielian visited with Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles earlier this week for an evaluation on his right shoulder and remains shut down from all throwing, the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander's stay on the injured list has now exceeded one month, and from the sound of this latest report, it appears set to extend through the first half of August, at minimum. The team is expected to provide more detail on Kaprielian's conditions Tuesday before the start of a three-game series with the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

Kaprielian (shoulder) completed a bullpen session Saturday as expected, the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kaprielian's session is another step forward after he recently began throwing on flat ground. Assuming he doesn't experience any residual effects from Saturday's activity in coming days, the right-hander may be deemed ready to face live hitters as the next step in his recovery from a right shoulder strain.

Kaprielian (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Saturday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kaprielian (shoulder) has progressed to throwing on flat ground, the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander received a cortisone shot in his right shoulder on July 6 and initially progressed to playing long toss before moving to flat ground. If his recovery continues without setbacks, Kaprielian is likely to eventually graduate to throwing bullpen/live batting practice sessions before embarking on a rehab assignment.

Kaprielian was given a cortisone injection for his ailing right shoulder Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The hope is that the injection will help speed along the healing process as Kaprielian works his way back from a right shoulder strain. For now, though, there remains no timetable for the right-hander return to action.

Oakland placed Kaprielian on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right shoulder strain.

EDGE Analysis

Kaprielian had been scheduled to start for the Athletics in Saturday's game against the White Sox, but he is now going to be sidelined through the All-Star break -- and probably much longer. The 29-year-old leaves behind a 6.34 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 57:31 K:BB in 61 innings on the season.
