Brent Rooker News
Oakland Athletics designated hitter Brent Rooker (forearm) underwent right-forearm extensor surgery earlier this week, according to Athletics general manager David Forst. Rooker had been dealing with an elbow issue all year, though it did not hinder his ability to hit. The 29-year-old hadn't played in the field since May 30, so if it affected his throwing abilities, it would not have been noticed over the last few months. Rooker had an incredible season at the plate, hitting for a 165 OPS+. Should his recovery from surgery go well and if he doesn't experience any setbacks, Rooker will be a prime target in fantasy drafts, as his bat will continue to drive value for the A's as they move into Sacramento for the 2025 season. Dynasty managers shouldn't worry about Rooker's surgery much given that it didn't affect his ability to hit. Assuming all goes well, he'll continue to be one of the strongest bats in the A's lineup.

Brent Rooker Homers Saturday In 9-5 Loss To Milwaukee
Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker homered and knocked in three runs on Saturday in a 9-5 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. It was his 30th home run, matching his total from 2023. The veteran outfielder is hitting .289 with 30 home runs, 87 RBI, seven stolen bases, and 62 runs scored. After hitting 11 home runs in July, Rooker has cooled some in August, hitting .269 with four home runs and 10 RBI. The star will remain a mainstay down the stretch for Oakland, and he will look to continue his great season in the series finale on Sunday against veteran Frankie Montas.

A's Put Brent Rooker On The Paternity List
The Oakland Athletics placed designated hitter Brent Rooker on the paternity list on Wednesday and recalled infielder Armando Alvarez from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. The club also outrighted left-hander Kyle Muller to Vegas after he cleared waivers. Rooker will most likely miss the final two games of the series in New York against the Mets, but he should be back at some point this weekend in Oakland to face the visiting San Francisco Giants. Miguel Andujar is serving as the A's DH on Wednesday and will bat second, while Darell Hernaiz is making another start at third base while batting eighth against Mets left-hander David Peterson. The 29-year-old Rooker has been Oakland's best hitter in 2024, slashing .293/.367/.583 with a .950 OPS, 29 homers, 83 RBI and seven steals in 105 games. Fantasy managers will be without him the next few days.

The veteran outfielder has been outstanding this year, hitting .290 with 29 home runs, 82 RBI, seven stolen bases and 57 runs scored on the season. Rooker will look to keep the great season going in the series finale tomorrow against Chris Bassitt on Sunday afternoon.

Brent Rooker Knocks In Three Runs
Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker continued his impressive season with another big game on Sunday. The 29-year-old slugger smacked a three-run double off right-hander Jose Soriano to help give his team a 4-0 lead. He would later add another hit to his total in what was a 2-for-4 day with three RBI In the loss. Rooker is now slashing .296/.370/.587 with 25 home runs and 75 RBI this season. He appears to be one of the best hitters available at the upcoming trade deadline. It remains to be seen if the A's are committed to actually moving him.

Oakland Unlikely To Deal Brent Rooker, JJ Bleday At Deadline
Oakland Athletics outfielders Brent Rooker and JJ Bleday are unlikely to be dealt at the trade deadline, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Heyman reports that with the recent surge in production in both outfielders and with closer Mason Miller (finger) on the 15-day IL, the Athletics are likely to have a quiet deadline. Rooker has enjoyed an incredible July where he has posted an outstanding .389/.465/.861 line with 10 home runs, 25 RBI, four stolen bases, and an 11:14 BB:K ratio. Bleday tallied eight doubles in a 10-game span earlier in July and sits with 30 on the season. Rooker was especially a popular name in trade discussions and could have been the highest impact bat dealt next week. This recent report suggests that the Athletics see both of these outfielders as part of the future of the team.

Brent Rooker Stays Hot With Another Home Run
Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker stayed hot on Friday night, smacking another home run, his 25th on the season, in a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. The A's always seem to have a diamond in the rough on their squad every season, and this year, it's Rooker. He currently sits at 25 home runs in the year in which he had 30 of them all of last season, and he's already past his 69 RBI total from 2023. Also, his slash line currently lies at .288/.365/.583, which is a considerable step up from the .246/.329/.488 slash line he posted last season. The MLB trade deadline is days away, and it would be hard to imagine the A's not trading Rooker and selling high on this breakout All-Star campaign of his. Fantasy managers should continue to start Rooker in all leagues while he's swinging a hot bat, and hope he can continue his torrid season if dealt by the A's during the trade deadline.

Brent Rooker Homers On Tuesday
Oakland A's DH Brent Rooker continued his power surge in an 8-2 win over the Houston Astros on Tuesday. Rooker went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk to help power Oakland to the win over their division rivals. The 29-year-old kicked off the scoring in the game, launching a two-run shot in the bottom of the first inning to put the A's up 2-0. Rooker is now hitting .291 with 23 homers, 48 runs, 69 RBI, and six steals across 320 at-bats. He has been white-hot at the plate of late, batting .400 with five homers and 13 RBI over his past seven games. Rooker is a must-start in fantasy until he cools down.

Brent Rooker Homers Saturday
Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker homered Saturday afternoon in an 8-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.

Rooker is hitting .294 with the 22 home runs, 65 RBI, five stolen bases and 47 runs scored in 352 plate appearances. The veteran could be a prime trade candidate as we near the trade deadline at the end of the month.
