James Kaprielian Stats

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher James Kaprielian (finger) has been scratched from his start Friday against the Los Angeles Angels with a middle right finger laceration. Kaprielian was set to make his return to the Athletics rotation after getting bumped out of it last week, but won't make his start after cutting a finger on his pitching hand. It is not yet known if the Athletics plan to start him later in the weekend or if he will be skipped. The 28-year-old had a tough go of it in August, posting a 1-4 record, 5.59 ERA, and 1.79 WHIP over 29 IP. Still, he could have been a somewhat appealing streaming candidate in deeper leagues against a bad Angels lineup. Alas, the Athletics will instead have a bullpen game on Friday, with Austin Pruitt opening.

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher James Kaprielian was hit with his ninth loss of the season in Wednesday's 5-1 defeat at the hands of the Washington Nationals. Kaprielian allowed five runs (two earned) on seven hits while walking one and striking out three in 5 2/3 innings of work. It was the 28-year-old's fourth straight losing decision, and he'll be happy to flip the calendar to September, as he finished the month of August with a 5.59 ERA, 1.79 WHIP, 23 strikeouts and 17 walks in 29 innings over his six starts. In 22 starts in 2022, the right-hander has a 3-9 record, 4.79 ERA (5.20 FIP), 1.42 WHIP, 76 strikeouts and 52 walks in 109 innings in his third major league season.

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher James Kaprielian will start vs. the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. Kaprielian was taken off the IL last week and had a rough start against the Cleveland Guardians on May 1st when he allowed four earned runs across just two innings pitched. Kaprielian had an up-and-down 2021 in which he posted a 4.07 ERA with a 9.82 K/9 across 119 1/3 innings pitched. He is not recommended as a streaming or DFS option today as the Twins are currently posting a 135 wRC+ mark against right-handed pitching over the previous two weeks, but he is someone to keep an eye on moving forward.
