Impact Wood has been sidelined since mid-May and has not been able to resume throwing. His 2024 season will conclude after only 39.1 innings, and it's unclear whether he will be ready for spring training in 2025.

69-93 · 4TH IN AL WEST
Alex Wood - Done for 2024 Wood (shoulder) will undergo season-ending surgery, Brent Maguire of MLB.com reports.
Luis Medina - Undergoing Tommy John surgery Medina (elbow) will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery, Brent Maguire of MLB.com reports.
Impact Medina has been sidelined since July 13 with a right elbow sprain and sought a second opinion Monday. He'll be out for the rest of 2024 and will likely miss all of the 2025 campaign as well, though he could return for roughly the final month. Medina showed glimpses of effectiveness in the big-league rotation, but he'll end the current campaign with a 5.18 ERA and 1.58 WHIP across 40 innings.

JJ Bleday - Getting breather against LHP Bleday isn't in Oakland's lineup Thursday against the Angels.
Impact With southpaw Kenny Rosenberg slated to start Thursday's game for the Halos, the left-handed bat of Bleday will stay put in Oakland's dugout. Daz Cameron will fill the void in center field and bat seventh.
JULY 25 • ROTOWIRE
Abraham Toro - Idle Thursday Toro isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Thursday's game versus the Angels.
Impact The switch-hitting Toro boasts a .783 OPS in 73 plate appearances against left-handers this season, but he will take a seat Thursday with southpaw Kenny Rosenberg on the mound. While Toro rests, Brett Harris will field the hot corner and bat eighth.
JULY 25 • ROTOWIRE
Seth Brown - Sitting against lefty Brown isn't in Oakland's lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.
Impact With lefty Kenny Rosenberg slated to start on the bump for Los Angeles, the lefty-hitting Brown will begin Thursday's contest on the bench. Tyler Nevin will instead get the nod to start at first base and bat fifth.

Ross Stripling - Activated ahead of start The Athletics activated Stripling (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Thursday.
Impact Stripling will rejoin the rotation Thursday in Anaheim after missing two months with a flexor strain. He had a maximum pitch count of 56 in his three rehab outings, so the veteran right-hander will be limited from a workload standpoint versus the Angels.

2024 MLB trade deadline: Ranking 40 players who could make the most impact
While there might be players more likely to get traded, these are the top difference-makers who could shape the deadline.JULY 25
Mason Miller - Fractures non-throwing hand The Athletics will place Miller on the 15-day injured list with a fractured pinkie on his left hand, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Gallegos says Miller suffered the injury when he pounded a padded training room table in frustration after Oakland's win over Houston on Monday. It's not clear how long Miller might be sidelined, but it helps that the fracture is to his non-throwing hand. The injury could also lessen, if not eliminate, the possibility of Miller being dealt at the trade deadline. Lucas Erceg is the favorite to see save opportunities for the Athletics while Miller is out.

Seth Brown - Stays hot in loss Brown went 3-for-3 with a walk in a loss to the Astros on Wednesday.
Impact The Athletics' red-hot offense finally cooled Wednesday, but Brown put together his second straight multi-hit effort. The veteran had recently been mired in a brief 0-for-11 slump that encompassed four games, but his 5-for-7 showing over the last two contests has pushed his average back over the Mendoza Line (.209)

JP Sears - Falls to Houston Sears (7-8) took the loss Wednesday against the Astros, allowing eight runs (seven earned) on nine hits over six innings. He struck out three.
Impact Four of the runs charged to Sears came in the seventh inning, where the first four batters to reach before the A's turned to the bullpen. It's a rough final line for Sears, who had won three straight starts while pitching to a 2.42 ERA in his previous four outings. The 28-year-old southpaw now sports a 4.81 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP and 83:32 K:BB across 112.1 innings this season. Sears will look to bounce back in his next start, currently slated for early next week in San Francisco.

Darell Hernaiz - Another standout rehab effort Hernaiz (ankle) started at shortstop and played seven innings in Triple-A Las Vegas' extra-inning win over Reno on Tuesday, going 3-for-5 with an RBI double, a stolen base and two...
Impact Hernaiz was back on defense after a day off Monday, and he delivered an encouraging offensive performance in addition to logging a full workload on defense without issue. The recovering infielder has hit safely in three straight rehab games and has back-to-back multi-hit tallies, suggesting he may not have much left to prove in the minors before activation.

Ross Stripling - Returning from IL to start Thursday Stripling (elbow) will rejoin the Athletics' rotation Thursday in Anaheim, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Stripling has been sidelined since late May with a flexor strain but is ready for activation from the 15-day injured list after making three rehab starts. The veteran right-hander had a high pitch count of 56 in those three outings, so he'll probably be a bit limited from a workload perspective against the Angels.
JULY 24 • ROTOWIRE
Shea Langeliers - Day of rest Wednesday Langeliers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Astros.
Impact Langeliers handled catching duties for each of the previous three games for the Athletics, so he will get a breather for Wednesday's afternoon tilt. Oakland will turn to Kyle McCann behind the plate for the series finale against Houston.
JULY 24 • ROTOWIRE
Abraham Toro - Productive in big win Toro went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a stolen base in a win over the Astros on Tuesday.
Impact The Athletics' lineup is suddenly a very unlikely juggernaut, and Oakland belted another five home runs Tuesday. While Toro's line stood in stark contrast since it only consisted of a pair of singles, it was still noteworthy considering those were his first hits at the big-league level since June 21 due to his month-long IL stint because of a hamstring injury. Toro's steal was his fourth of the season overall, and the fact he had the green light further corroborates his previously ailing hamstring is back to full health.
JULY 24 • ROTOWIRE
Osvaldo Bido - Pitches five strong innings Bido (2-1) got the win over the Astros on Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits while striking out six over five innings.
Impact Bido made his second start of the season and his first since May 8 when he debuted this year and made easy work of a tough Astros lineup. His lone mistake was serving up a solo home run to Victor Caratini in the third. Bido struggled with his control early on in the year, evidenced by his 11 walks over his first 14.1 innings pitched this season. However, he's turned things around by issuing zero free passes over his last nine innings. Bido's five innings and six strikeouts also matched a season high. The 28-year-old owns a 3.09 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB in 23.1 innings and could end up permanently slotting into the Athletics' fifth rotation spot with Luis Medina being diagnosed with a right elbow sprain. Should Bido get another start, it would come this weekend against the Angels.
