Kaprielian (4-2) was tagged with the loss Tuesday against the Rangers after allowing three runs on six hits across six innings while striking out six.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was tagged with his second loss of the season, but he delivered another strong performance on the mound. He allowed homers to Joey Gallo in the fourth and sixth innings, but he was quite composed otherwise and finished with his third quality start of the month. He owns a 3.14 ERA across five June starts and is slated to pitch again during the weekend series against the Red Sox at home.

Kaprielian pitched six innings in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to Texas, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks with four strikeouts. He didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

After neither team scored through four innings, Kaprielian allowed a single run in both the fifth and sixth innings before being removed at just 82 pitches. Oakland scored three in the top of the seventh to put the rookie in line for the win, but Texas eventually rallied against the Athletics' bullpen. The six-inning start is encouraging as it was only Kaprielian's third in eight turns, though Manager Bob Melvin appears reluctant to let his young starter work deep into games as he's averaging less than 90 pitches per start.

Kaprielian (4-1) allowed three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out seven in 5.2 innings to earn the win against the Yankees on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaprielian was unable to record another quality start Friday, but he got enough run support from the Athletics to pick up his second consecutive win. The right-hander has lasted at least five innings in all but one of his appearances this year, and he's posted a 2.84 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 38 innings across seven starts. He tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against the Rangers on Wednesday.

Kaprielian (3-1) earned the win Saturday against the Royals after tossing six scoreless innings, allowing two hits and four walks while fanning seven.

EDGE Analysis

Kaprielian was absolutely dominant Saturday and while he allowed six baserunners, only one of those reached third base. The right-hander has given up two or fewer runs in all but one of his outings this season and has looked outstanding thus far. His next start is scheduled for next week on the road against the Yankees.

Kaprielian (2-1) was tagged with the loss Sunday against the Rockies after allowing two runs on five hits and three walks while fanning six across five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Kaprielian suffered his first loss of the season but delivered a decent outing considering he had to pitch in the altitude of Coors Field, as he limited the damage to just two runs and ended just three outs away from posting a quality start. The right-hander has allowed two or fewer runs in four of his five outings to date, and he's scheduled to start next week at home against the Royals.

Kaprielian allowed four runs on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts across 3.2 innings in a no-decision versus Seattle on Monday. He also hit a batter.

EDGE Analysis

Kaprielian was able to navigate two baserunners in each of the second and third innings without trouble. The right-hander then faltered in the fourth, with a three-run blast by Donovan Walton and an RBI double from Kyle Lewis on his ledger. Kaprielian was bailed out by Oakland's offense, which rallied to tie the game in the eighth. He's posted a 2.95 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 22:9 K:BB across 21.1 innings. Monday was the worst of his four starts so far -- the 27-year-old lines up for a road start in Colorado this weekend, which could be a tricky assignment.

Kaprielian (2-0) earned the win Wednesday against the Mariners after tossing seven scoreless innings, giving up two hits and two walks while fanning four.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie right-hander continues to impress and while the sample size is small, he's looked outstanding through his first three appearances. Wednesday's outing might have been his best outing so far, though, as he clinched his first quality start at the MLB level and improved his ERA to 1.53 across 17.2 innings. Kaprielian's next start is scheduled for next week against the Mariners on the road.

Kaprielian allowed two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out nine across 5.2 innings in Friday's win over the Angels. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Kaprielian surrendered a home run to Jose Iglesias in the third inning and a long shot to Jared Walsh in the sixth inning Friday. Despite allowing two homers, he struck out nine batters and left the game with the lead. The 27-year-old has a 2.53 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with a 12.66 K/9 through 10.2 innings. He will continue to stay in the rotation as long as Jesus Luzardo (finger) and Mike Fiers (elbow) remain out.

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.

Kaprielian will be skipped during the next turn through the rotation, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Athletics have an off day Monday, which will allow the team to skip Kaprielian's turn through the rotation against the Astros. However, he is expected to make a start during the team's weekend series against the Angels. Kaprielian made his first big-league start Wednesday against the Red Sox and allowed only one earned run on four hits and three walks across five innings.
