The Athletics placed Ginn on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right quad strain.

EDGE Analysis

Ginn made his return from elbow inflammation Monday but struggled in his first start back to the tune of four runs allowed in just four innings. Now dealing with a quad injury, the 26-year-old righty will spend at least another 15 days on the injured list, and Anthony Maldonado will return to the Athletics to provide the big club with some extra bullpen depth.

Ginn (1-2) allowed four runs on six hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over four innings, taking the loss Monday versus the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Ginn threw 48 of 79 pitches for strikes in his return from right elbow inflammation. The right-hander had been out since late April due to the injury, and he fell short of his expected 85-to-90 pitch count in his return. He struggled a bit, allowing home runs to Nolan Schanuel and Taylor Ward, which accounted for three of the four runs on Ginn's line. For the season, Ginn has a 5.60 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 17.2 innings, showing some strikeout upside despite the sinkerballer's other concerns in his profile, which has included him allowing six homers already this season. His next start is projected to be a tough home matchup versus the Phillies this weekend.

The Athletics activated Ginn (elbow) off the 15-day injured list ahead of his start against the Angels on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Ginn has fully progressed in his recovery from right elbow inflammation, which caused him to be placed on the 15-day IL in late April. He tossed 3.1 scoreless innings in his lone rehab game with Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, and the 25-year-old right-hander will be on a 85-to-90 pitch count in his return to the majors Monday, per Jessica Kleinschmidt of Baseball America.

Ginn (elbow) will be activated off the injured list to start Monday's game against the Angels, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ginn landed on the injured list in late April with right elbow inflammation. He pitched in a rehab game at Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday and tossed 3.1 shutout innings while striking out five batters and walking two. Because his minor-league outing was so brief, he may work under a workload restriction during his first start back with the A's, though the team hasn't confirmed any such plans.

Ginn (elbow) threw 3.1 scoreless innings for Triple-A Las Vegas with five strikeouts and two walks during a rehab start Wednesday. He will travel with the A's for their upcoming road trip at San Francisco, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ginn will next throw a bullpen session between starts. If all goes well he could return to the rotation early next week, likely Monday at home against the Angels.

Ginn (elbow) is expected to report to Triple-A Las Vegas this week to begin a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Placed on the injured list April 26 due to right elbow inflammation, Ginn was shut down for a brief period of time before resuming throwing. After completing a 30-pitch live bullpen session Friday without issue, Ginn will head to Las Vegas and may need just one rehab start before being activated from the 15-day injured list. Gunnar Hoglund has made two turns through the big-league rotation as a replacement for Ginn but may be in line for just one more start with the Athletics before Ginn is activated.

Ginn (elbow) was set to start a throwing program Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ginn was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right elbow inflammation. The extent of his injury wasn't clear, but it looks like it could be minor if he's beginning a throwing program so quickly after landing on the IL.

The Athletics placed Ginn on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right elbow inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

Ginn surrendered three runs over 3.2 innings during his most recent start Thursday, and he appears to have come away from the outing with some elbow trouble. He'll sit out the next couple of weeks at least as a result. A rotation replacement for Ginn hasn't been named yet, but Jacob Lopez will come up from Triple-A to give the Athletics extra bullpen depth for now.

Ginn didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Rangers after allowing three runs on six hits and two walks in 3.2 innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

The long ball proved to be a major problem for Ginn, who gave up a career-high three home runs Thursday. It was also the shortest outing of the year so far for the right-hander, and he recorded a season-low two punchouts. Ginn could have some streaming value in fantasy against softer lineups, as he entered play with an elite 61.5 percent groundball rate, but he has a 4.61 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB over 13.2 innings (three starts). He doesn't shape up as an appealing option in his next projected outing in Texas for a rematch with the hard-hitting Rangers.

Ginn (1-1) took the loss versus the Brewers on Friday, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out seven over 4.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Ginn's second start of the season didn't go as well as his first, though he showed some strikeout upside again. The Brewers got to him for two runs in the third inning and tacked another onto his line in the fifth after he exited for reliever Jacob Lopez. Ginn has allowed four runs on nine hits and four walks while striking out 13 over 10 innings across his two starts. If he stays in the rotation, he's tentatively scheduled for a tough home start versus the Rangers next week.
