J.T. Ginn Fantasy Stats

Athletics right-hander J.T. Ginn (illness) is set to make his next start in Sunday's series finale against the Chicago White Sox to close out the first half of the regular season, according to Jason Burke of Inside the A's. The 27-year-old was pulled from his last start early on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers due to an illness, but he's already feeling better and should be able to take the ball this weekend on the South Side of Chicago. The former second-round pick by the New York Mets in 2020 out of Mississippi State University is having his best season in 2026 in his third year in the league, going 7-5 with a 3.10 ERA (4.28 FIP) and 1.22 WHIP with 86 strikeouts and 43 walks in 98 2/3 innings pitched across his 20 appearances (17 starts). Ginn has allowed three earned runs or fewer in each of his last five starts, allowing just 11 runs (nine earned) while walking 13 and striking out 21 over that span. However, he hasn't had more than five strikeouts in any of his last six starts and sports a career-high 10.5% walk rate. Ginn is definitely more attractive away from hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park,

Athletics right-hander J.T. Ginn (illness) was pulled early from his start on Tuesday against the hosting Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park due to an illness, manager Mark Kotsay told Jason Burke of Inside the A's. Kotsay said Ginn's energy level was dropping after the game. "He gave us everything he had," Kotsay said. The 27-year-old made it through four innings and allowed two earned runs on two hits (one homer) while walking two and striking out four to lose his fifth game of the year. Ginn should now be considered up in the air to make his final start of the first half this Sunday against the Chicago White Sox on the road. Even if Ginn is feeling better by the weekend and is cleared to take the mound for Sunday's series finale on the South Side, fantasy managers should consider him a dangerous streamer against a White Sox team that has had an impressive turnaround in 2025. Ginn, a second-rounder by the New York Mets in 2020 out of Mississippi State University, came into his outing on Tuesday with a 7-4 record this year with a 3.04 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 82 strikeouts in 94 2/3 frames over his 19 outings (16 starts) in his third season with the A's.

In 13 games (10 starts) so far this season, Athletics starting pitcher J.T. Ginn has recorded a 3-3 record with a 2.87 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 52 strikeouts across 59 2/3 innings. The 27-year-old put together a particularly impressive performance his last time out on Saturday, holding the New York Yankees to just four hits and one unearned run across six innings of work. Ginn is averaging a career-high 94.5 miles per hour on his fastball and is holding opposing batters to just a .198 batting average. Ginn has allowed a 10.1% walk rate and is benefiting from an unusually low .234 opponent batting average on balls in play, which could both be reasons to think that regression is coming. Still, the right-hander limits hard contact and owns a 47.5% ground-ball rate. Particularly in deeper leagues, Ginn is worth a look on the waiver wire as a starting pitcher streamer ahead of his next scheduled start on Friday against the Houston Astros.

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.
