James Kaprielian News
The Oakland Athletics outrighted right-hander James Kaprielian (shoulder), left-hander Sam Long and catcher Carlos Perez to Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday. Kaprielian cleared waivers after he was on the 60-day injured list this year following surgery to fix the posterior labrum in his right shoulder in August. It remains to be seen if the 29-year-old will be ready to go for the start of spring training in 2024. In 14 outings (11 starts) before his injury in 2023, Kaprielian went 2-6 with a rough 6.34 ERA (5.08 FIP), 1.59 WHIP, 31 walks and 57 strikeouts in 61 innings pitched in his fourth big-league season with the A's. He has a career 4.61 ERA (4.67 FIP), 1.35 WHIP and 282 K's in 66 outings (58 starts) in his four seasons in the majors.
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher James Kaprielian (shoulder) underwent successful right shoulder surgery on Wednesday. The right-hander is done for the season and is likely to miss time in 2024 as well. He was rehabbing his shoulder injury, but has decided to undergo arthroscopic surgery to repair a labrum injury. Before that, Kaprielian held a rough 6.34 ERA. 1.59 WHIP and 57/31 K/BB ratio through 11 starts with the A's. The expectation is that he'll be back in early 2024.
Oakland Athletics right-hander James Kaprielian (shoulder) threw a 35-pitch bullpen session on Saturday, but there currently is no timetable for his return from a strained right shoulder. Right-hander Mason Miller (elbow) was also scheduled to throw all fastballs on Saturday after progressing from playing long toss to throwing off flat ground. The next step for both Kaprielian and Miller is to face live hitters before potentially going on minor-league rehab assignments. Miller is attempting to return from a UCL sprain he suffered in early May. When healthy, both Kaprielian and Miller should return to starting-rotation spots with the last-place A's, but that's probably not going to come until early August.
