J.T. Ginn Fantasy Stats

Athletics starting pitcher J.T. Ginn has been effective on the mound this season, emerging as a waiver wire option for fantasy baseball managers. Through 12 games (nine starts) this year, Ginn owns a 3.19 ERA with 8.05 K/9, 3.86 BB/9, and a 47.5% ground ball rate. His fastball is also up to a career-high average of 94.5 mph. For the most part, he's flashed solid control, but he did have a rough outing a few days ago. Against the Padres on May 23, he allowed zero hits over 2.1 innings, but he walked six batters and surrendered two earned runs. Outside of that outing, walks haven't been a glaring issue for Ginn this year, so we expect him to bounce back in his next outing. His ERA, his solid K/BB ratio, and his ability to pitch deeper into outings make him an intriguing name to consider adding on the waiver wire. As it stands, he's still available in 77% of fantasy baseball leagues.

Athletics starting pitcher J.T. Ginn took a brutal loss on Monday against the Angels after an exceptional outing. The 26-year-old righty entered the ninth inning with a no-hitter before giving up a single to Adam Frazier and a walk-off homer to Zach Neto to take the loss. Ginn did still get the complete game with 10 strikeouts and just one walk, but he couldn't quite seal the victory. Ginn has allowed a total of just three earned runs over 22 innings in his last three starts, with a 1.23 ERA and 0.82 WHIP. He has 21 strikeouts in his 22 innings in those starts, and he has been a strong option since joining the rotation in mid-April, with just one rough start against the Guardians. He will look to continue his momentum with his second start of the week on Saturday night in San Diego against the Padres. He's a great grab from the waiver wire in all formats with so much recent success and a solid lineup behind him.

Athletics left-hander J.T. Ginn will make the start in Friday's series opener against the New York Mets, according to MLB.com's Martin Gallegos. Ginn will be the first man up to take over Luis Morales' spot in the team's starting rotation. The 26-year-old former second-rounder by the Mets in 2020 out of Mississippi State has made three relief appearances for the A's so far in 2026 and has allowed four earned runs on six hits (one homer) while walking two and striking out four in seven innings of work. In his three MLB seasons, Ginn has recorded a 4.87 ERA (4.46 FIP), 1.34 WHIP, and 132:42 K:BB in 131 1/3 innings over 34 appearances (22 starts). He's been worse as a starter, posting a 5.04 ERA with a 1.40 WHIP and 105 strikeouts in 105 1/3 innings pitched. Against the Mets to kick off the weekend, fantasy managers should be looking to avoid Ginn as a deep-league or DFS streamer.

Athletics right-hander J.T. Ginn has been tabbed to make the start on Tuesday against the division-rival Texas Rangers, per Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. Even though the matchup is a good one, Ginn will carry little fantasy upside in what will be his fifth start of the season and 12th appearance overall. The 26-year-old former second-rounder of the New York Mets hasn't started a game this season since May 19 against the Los Angeles Angels, when he went only four innings and gave up four earned runs in a loss. Ginn went over five innings just once in his four starts and can't be expected to go very deep in Tuesday's outing since he hasn't gone over three innings pitched in an outing since June 30 against the Tampa Bay Rays. He also hasn't been very great in his second big-league season, posting a 4.91 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 41:9 K:BB in 33 innings.

Athletics starting pitcher J.T. Ginn (quad) has been activated from the 15-day injured list on Monday. It appears Ginn is ready to return to the mound after missing about a month of action due to a strained quad. It's unclear whether Ginn will be used in the starting rotation or out of the bullpen. There's a decent chance he gets the ball at some point during the upcoming four-game series against the Houston Astros. Ginn has allowed three earned runs or more in three of his first four outings of the season. That being said, he's not a recommended fantasy option at the moment.

Athletics right-hander J.T. Ginn (quadriceps) is scheduled to start a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday, according to MLB.com. Ginn is getting close to returning after landing on the 15-day injured list on May 20 with a right-quadriceps strain. The 26-year-old hurler also missed time to begin the year with an elbow injury, and he made only four starts before landing back on the shelf. He wasn't particularly effective in his four starts, going 1-2 with a 5.60 ERA (6.35 FIP) with a 1.53 WHIP, 22 strikeouts and six walks in 17 2/3 innings pitched. If Ginn is reinserted back into the A's rotation when he's activated from the IL, he'll mostly be a fantasy option for those in AL-only leagues. In eight outings (six starts) as a rookie in 2024, Ginn went 1-1 with a 4.24 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB in 34 inning pitched.

The Athletics announced on Tuesday that they placed right-hander J.T. Ginn (quadriceps) on the 15-day injured list with a strained right quadriceps and recalled right-hander Anthony Maldonado from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. The A's just activated Ginn from the IL on Monday from a right-elbow inflammation before he allowed four runs in four innings in a loss to the Los Angeles Angels. The 26-year-old is now back on the IL a day later with a new ailment and will miss at least the next two weeks. The former second-round pick by the New York Mets in 2020 out of Mississippi State has posted a 5.60 ERA (6.38 FIP) and 1.53 WHIP with 22 strikeouts and six walks in 17 2/3 innings over his four starts for the A's this year and hasn't been very sharp. Ginn has no business being rostered in mixed fantasy leagues at this time.

The Athletics announced on Monday that they reinstated right-hander J.T. Ginn (elbow) from the 15-day injured list and optioned right-hander Anthony Maldonado to Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. Ginn will make the start in Monday's series opener against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels at Sutter Health Park. The 25-year-old is returning from a stint on the IL due to inflammation in his right elbow. He only went 3 1/3 innings in his lone minor-league rehab start last Wednesday with Triple-A Las Vegas, so although the matchup against the Halos is a good one in his return to the starting rotation, Ginn will most likely be on a pitch-count limit on Monday. In three starts in 2025 before getting hurt, Ginn had allowed seven earned runs on 15 hits (four homers) while walking six and fanning 15 in 13 2/3 frames. Those looking for a streamer should probably stay away.

Athletics starting pitcher J.T. Ginn got the call for Saturday's game after posting two excellent performances in Triple-A to begin the season. He didn't have an easy task against the New York Mets, but Ginn did well in this one. Ginn tossed five shutout innings before giving up a solo home run to Brandon Nimmo in the sixth inning. He would finish his day allowing one run on four hits while striking out six batters in the win. The expectation is that Ginn will stick in the rotation to face the Milwaukee Brewers next week. He could be worth a look as a low-end streaming option for that game.

The Athletics optioned outfielder Esteury Ruiz, right-handers J.T. Ginn, Elvis Alvarado and Grant Holman and third baseman Darell Hernaiz to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday. Ruiz, 26, led all of baseball with 67 stolen bases in his first year with the Athletics after being acquired in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers, but he struggled in 2024 and was optioned to the minors. Ruiz finished last year with a .200/.270/.382 slash line, a .652 OPS, two home runs, eight RBI and only five steals in just 29 games played in Oakland. He still has plenty of speed, but he's fallen way down the team's outfield depth chart and will have to work his way back to the big leagues in 2025. Ginn, 25, lost out on a starting rotation spot in camp by posting an ugly 7.62 ERA and 1.85 WHIP with 16 strikeouts and eight walks in five Cactus League appearances. He'll provide rotation depth in Vegas to open the year.
