Ginn (2-3) allowed four runs on four hits and five walks while striking out two over 4.1 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander took a major step back in this outing after having allowing just one run over his previous 11 innings. The five walks were a season high as well. Ginn was able to stretch out to 85 pitches (45 strikes) Saturday, and he should have a good chance of staying in the rotation following the Athletics' deadline deal that sent JP Sears to the Padres. Ginn has posted a 4.28 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 49:15 K:BB through 48.1 innings across 14 appearances (seven starts) this season. He's tentatively projected for a road start versus the Orioles next week.

Ginn (2-2) pitched six scoreless innings with four strikeouts to pick up the win Sunday at Houston. He allowed three hits and no walks.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old righty notched his first quality start of the season, as he generated 10 whiffs out of his 77 total pitches in this performance. In two starts and three relief outings this month, Ginn has been a steady performer for the Athletics, pitching to a 2.25 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB in 16 frames. Through 44 total innings that include six starts, he now sports a 3.89 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 47:10 K:BB with a magnificent 53.7 percent groundball rate. Ginn currently lines up to make his next appearance against the Diamondbacks at home next weekend.

Ginn will start Sunday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Ginn was called upon to fill the vacant spot in the Athletics rotation Tuesday against the Rangers, and while the right-hander was limited to 58 pitches he fared well in a no-decision, limiting Texas to one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out two over five innings. Ginn will be rewarded with a second start, and he should be capable of giving the Athletics around 70-80 pitches Sunday.

Ginn allowed one run on five hits and a walk while striking out two in five innings Tuesday against the Rangers. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Ginn held the Rangers scoreless through three innings before Adolis Garcia broke through in the fourth with a solo home run. Ginn otherwise kept the Texas offense at bay, though he was pulled after just 58 pitches. Ginn's strikeouts were notably down after he went into Tuesday's start donning an 11.2 K/9. He presumably pitched well enough to get another crack at starting and tentatively lines up to make another start this weekend against Houston.

Ginn will start Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ginn has been pitching out of the bullpen of late, but he'll return to a starting role for Tuesday's matchup. He should be able to cover at least a few innings for the A's considering he fired 3.2 innings June 30 out of the bullpen and has navigated multiple frames in relief since.

Ginn struck out five over three scoreless innings in a relief appearance Monday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

The Athletics didn't reveal what role Ginn would take on when they activated him from the 15-day injured list prior to Monday's contest, but it appears he will work out of the bullpen for now. With Ginn operating in a relief role, Jacob Lopez should remain in the A's rotation for the time being.

The Athletics activated Ginn (quad) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Ginn missed almost a month of action with a strained quad. The Athletics have not revealed whether Ginn will rejoin the rotation or be used in the bullpen. The club has not announced starters beyond the firs game Monday of its four-game set against the Astros, so Ginn could theoretically slot into the rotation any of those days.

Ginn (quadriceps) struck out five batters and allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits and three walks across 3.1 innings in a rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Las Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

Ginn tossed 72 pitches (42 strikes) in his second rehab outing with Las Vegas since landing on the 15-day injured list May 20 due to a strained right quad. The Athletics haven't confirmed Ginn's next steps, but the right-hander could be ready to return from the IL as soon as Monday versus the Astros. Jacob Lopez or Mitch Spence are most at risk of falling out of the rotation when Ginn returns.

Ginn (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A Las Vegas, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander landed on the shelf May 20 due to a quadriceps strain, but he's been cleared for game action and will pitch in a minor-league game this week. Ginn returned from the injured list May 19 after missing most of the previous month due to an elbow issue, so the A's could look to get him a couple starts in the minors before activating him this time around.

Ginn (quadriceps) was cleared to resume throwing shortly after landing on the 15-day injured list May 20, but he's without a clear target date for being activated, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ginn is eligible to come off the IL on Wednesday, and though it's unclear if he'll be ready to go by that date, the Athletics don't believe he'll need too much time beyond then before returning to action. While Ginn has been on the shelf, Jacob Lopez has stepped in to fill his spot in the rotation, making two starts and producing an 8.31 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 8.2 innings.
