Paul Blackburn News
The Oakland Athletics expect starting pitchers James Kaprielian (shoulder) and Paul Blackburn (finger) to be ready for spring training, according to general manager David Forst. It's the reason the team felt comfortable trading left-hander Cole Irvin to the Baltimore Orioles this week. Kaprielian had surgery to fix the AC joint in his right-shoulder in the offseason. The 28-year-old figures to be a fixture in the A's rotation after posting a 4.23 ERA (4.63 FIP), 1.34 WHIP and 17 percent strikeout rate in a career-high 26 starts in his third MLB season in 2022. Blackburn was excellent for Oakland before a finger caused him to be shut down in July. The 29-year-old was an All-Star last for the first time last year and went 7-6 with a 4.28 ERA (4.21 FIP), 1.26 WHIP and career-high 19.1 percent strikeout rate in a career-high 21 starts in his sixth season in Oakland.
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Paul Blackburn (finger) has been transferred to the 60-day injured list. The A's needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster after claiming right-hander pitcher Joel Payamps off waivers from Kansas City. Blackburn, who made the AL All-Star team earlier this season, will remain out for the rest of the season and can be dropped in season-long fantasy leagues. He finishes the year with a 4.28 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 89:30 K/BB ratio over 111 1/3 innings (21 starts).
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Paul Blackburn (finger) will be shut down for the remainder of the 2022 season, according to A's manager Mark Kotsay. The right-hander is dealing with inflammation in the middle finger of his pitching hand. He landed on the injured list about a week ago. He met with a specialist on Monday and the diagnosis from the specialist is what led to the decision to shut Blackburn down. The 28-year-old had the best season of his career in 2022. Across 21 starts, he went 7-6 with a 4.28 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP.
