SEAN NEWCOMB NEWS

Interest as starter and reliever Newcomb (elbow) is drawing interest from teams as both a starter and reliever, Will Sammon, Ken Rosenthal and Katie Woo of The Athletic report.

Impact Newcomb thrived as a full-time reliever after being traded to the Athletics in May, posting a 1.75 ERA and 50:14 K:BB over 51.1 innings. The left-hander hasn't been a full-time starter at the major-league level since 2018, but he threw six different pitch types out of the A's bullpen. Newcomb ended the 2025 season on the injured list with left elbow inflammation, and it's unclear where he's at in his offseason throwing program.

Out with elbow inflammation The Athletics placed Newcomb on the 15-day injured list Saturday with left elbow inflammation.

Impact Newcomb's move to the injured list will ensure he remains out for the rest of the season, putting a stamp on his campaign after he turned in a 2.73 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 92.1 total innings between the Red Sox and A's. Scott McGough was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas to fill the void in the bullpen.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Strikes out side for save Newcomb struck out three in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 3-0 win over the Reds.

Impact This was Newcomb's second save of the season -- his other was against the Angels on Aug. 16. The Athletics are using a closing committee to finish off games since the trade deadline, and they've tallied just 31 saves overall this year, with 20 of those coming from Mason Miller prior to the deal that sent him to San Diego. Newcomb and Hogan Harris appear to be the current favorites for saves, though volume will remain an issue. On the season, Newcomb has a 2.76 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 91:31 K:BB over 91.1 innings across 47 outings (five starts) between the Athletics and the Red Sox.

Snags save Newcomb allowed an unearned run on two hits and a hit batsman and struck out three without walking a batter over 1.2 innings to earn the save in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Angels.

Impact Tyler Ferguson put two runners on in the eighth inning, but Newcomb was able to defuse the situation. Newcomb then allowed a run in the ninth, but the Athletics' lead was never in any real danger after the team padded the lead in the eighth. This was Newcomb's first save since the 2021 campaign with Atlanta. He's allowed just the one unearned run over his last nine appearances, a stretch that covers 11.2 innings with a 16:3 K:BB. He's in a late-inning role for now, but the Athletics' overall struggles make saves hard to come by. Newcomb has maintained a 2.97 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 82:28 K:BB over 78.2 innings across 38 appearances (five starts) between the Athletics and the Red Sox this year.

Tosses scoreless frame Sunday Newcomb pitched a scoreless inning, allowing one hit and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Orioles.

Impact Newcomb extended his scoreless outings streak to seven straight appearances, surrendering four hits and three walks, while striking out 12 batters over nine innings during that stretch. The left-hander has been vaulted into a late-inning role with the A's, helping fill the void of Mason Miller, who was dealt to the Padres at the trade deadline. Newcomb now owns a 3.08 ERA and 1.43 WHIP with 78 punchouts over 36 appearances, including five starts, with the Red Sox and Athletics in 2025. He remains in the mix for high-leverage appearances with Michael Kelly and Elvis Alvarado, both of whom are right-handed, setting Newcomb up for matchup-based chances against left-handed batters.
