Kaprielian (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list and is starting Sunday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprielian was placed on the shelf in late July with right shoulder inflammation, but he'll rejoin the rotation after missing little more than the 10-day minimum. The 27-year-old had a 2.65 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 73:26 K:BB over 68 innings this season prior to surrendering six runs in his last start before landing on the injured list July 27.

Manager Bob Melvin said Kaprielian (shoulder) is expected to return from the 10-day injured list to start Sunday against the Rangers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprielian hit the IL with right shoulder inflammation in late July, but the issue looks like it won't cost him more than one turn in the rotation. That's good news for the Athletics, as righty allowed six runs in his most recent start but had allowed no more than three runs in any of his previous eight outings and owns a 3.24 ERA on the year.

Kaprielian (shoulder) played catch before Wednesday's game and could make a start against the Rangers on Sunday, the Athletics' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander has been in the process of overcoming an impingement in his throwing shoulder, and the fact he was able to engage in a throwing session Wednesday is certainly encouraging. If Kaprielian isn't able to take the hill Sunday, however, Daulton Jeffries is slated to slot in for his second major-league start of 2021.

Kaprielian's shoulder inflammation is not considered serious, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprelian hit the injured list Saturday and will miss at least one start, but it sounds as though he may not miss much more than that. Daulton Jefferies will take his place in the rotation to start Sunday against the Angels.

Kaprielian was placed on the 10-day injured list with a shoulder impingement Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprielian was charged with the loss in his last outing when he gave up six runs in 4.1 innings against the Padres, and his shoulder issue could have contributed to his struggles. The right-hander had been scheduled to start Sunday's series finale against the Angels, but Daulton Jefferies will be recalled Sunday to take his place, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Kaprielian's move to the injured list will clear room on the active roster for Yan Gomes and Josh Harrison.

Kaprielian (5-4) lost Tuesday's 7-4 defeat at the hands of the Padres, allowing six runs on seven hits and a walk with six strikeouts in 4.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprielian was staked to a 3-0 lead after the top of the third but surrendered a two-run Fernando Tatis home run in the bottom of the inning, then allowed four of the first five Padres to reach base in the fifth and was removed. Yusmeiro Petit entered and immediately served up a three-run home run to Manny Machado with two of the runs charged to Kaprielian. This was the 27-year-old's worst start by far as his ERA jumped from 2.65 all the way to 3.24.

Kaprielian (5-3) earned the win Tuesday after holding the Angels scoreless across six frames. He allowed five hits and a pair of walks while striking out seven.
EDGE Analysis
It was just the third time this season that Kaprielian blanked his opponent. The 27-year-old has now tossed at least five innings for his eighth straight start. To top it off, he hasn't surrendered more than three earned runs in an outing during that stretch. Thanks to his recent success, the right-hander has compiled a 2.65 ERA and 1.12 WHIP across 68 innings this season.

Kaprielian allowed two runs on four hits and four walks in five innings of a no-decision Saturday against Texas. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprielian wasn't particularly efficient, allowing eight baserunners and throwing just 48 of his 87 pitches for strikes, but he did settle in after allowing back-to-back homers in the first inning and got through five complete innings for his seventh consecutive start. He hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in a start during that stretch, lowering his ERA to 2.90 in 62 innings for the season. Kaprielian is scheduled to make his first start of the second half at home against the Angels.

Kaprielian (4-3) allowed one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out 10 across seven innings, taking the loss to the Red Sox on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprielian was stellar Sunday, striking out a season-high 10 batters and tied his deepest start of 2021. However, he was stuck with the loss after allowing a single run to cross and receiving no run support. The 27-year-old has a 2.84 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP with 62 strikeouts in 57 innings. He had four quality starts in his last five outings.
