Brent Rooker News
The Oakland A's have activated Brent Rooker (abdomen) from the injured list and have optioned 22-year-old infielder Darell Hernaiz to Triple-A Las Vegas. Despite breaking out with 30 home runs in the 2023 season, Rooker was not being used as an everyday outfielder to begin the season. He has hit just .200 on his young season but has still clubbed a pair of home runs across his first eight games of the campaign. Rooker will likely see consistent playing time upon his return but the A's outfield has gotten more crowded with his return and the promotion of the hot-hitting Esteury Ruiz from Triple-A. The team also has Seth Brown, JJ Bleday, and Lawrence Butler roaming the outfield.
Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker (abdomen), whose injured-list placement is retroactive to April 8, has started total-body workouts and will begin taking some dry swings in the next few days. Manager Mark Kotsay is hoping that Rooker can return to the team when he's eligible to come off the IL on April 17. The 29-year-old left last Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers with an injury to his costochondral cartilage and he was put on the IL last Thursday. It sounds like it could be a short stay for the outfielder, though. After making his first All-Star team in 2023, Rooker started off the 2024 season by going just 6-for-30 (.200) with two home runs, five RBI and 16 strikeouts in his first eight games before getting hurt.
The Oakland Athletics announced on Thursday that they placed outfielder Brent Rooker (abdominal) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to April 8) and selected infielder/outfielder Max Schuemann from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. The team also moved right-hander Luis Medina (knee) to the 60-day injured list. Rooker is dealing with a costochondral cartilage injury in his abdomen after leaving Sunday's game early. It's unclear if the 29-year-old will be ready to return to the A's when he's eligible. After his first All-Star selection in 2023, Rooker is off to a slow start this year with a .200 average (6-for-30), but he does have two homers and five RBI in eight games. Until Rooker is able to return, Tyler Nevin figures to benefit from more playing time in Oakland, either in the outfield or at first base.

Oakland A's outfielder Brent Rooker enjoyed his coming out party in the 2023 season, providing massive value to fantasy managers who scooped him up off the waiver wire. In his age-28 season, Rooker hit .246 and slugged 30 home runs alongside an .817 OPS across 526 trips to the plate. He walked at a solid 9.2% clip, although he also punched out at a bloated 32.7% rate. Nonetheless, it wasn't the first time Rooker had down notable power as he clubbed nine homers in just 58 games for the 2021 Twins before seeing just 16 big-league games in the 2022 season. Home-run power is difficult to sustain at the Coliseum in Oakland as ATC projects a regression to 24 home runs in 2024. However, fantasy managers should be willing to take that figure along with another 21 doubles and four steals at his prevailing 293.28 ADP.
