Injury Status: 15 Day IL
Injury: Shoulder
by Keith Hernandez
Athletics rookie left-hander Gage Jump (shoulder) is likely heading to the 15-day injured list, which would end his first year in the majors a bit early, according to Jason Burke of Inside the A's. The determination will be made on Tuesday. Jump dealt with shoulder tightness in his last start on Saturday against the division-rival Seattle Mariners, when he allowed five earned runs on five hits (two homers) while walking one and striking out only two in two innings for his 11th loss of the season. The 23-year-old southpaw, a former second-rounder in 2024 from LSU, definitely had his ups and downs in the first 20 starts of his major-league career with a bad team. In his 98 2/3 innings pitched, Jump has gone 6-11 with a 5.47 ERA (4.02 FIP) and a 1.52 WHIP with 108 strikeouts and 46 walks. He had an especially tough time at home at Sutter Health Park, posting a 6.27 ERA with 56 strikeouts and 27 walks in 51 2/3 frames. Jump has some intriguing skills but will need to show better command of his arsenal to take the next step with the A's in 2027.

Gage Jump 2026 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Emerging Arm in Minor Leagues Ticketed for Mid-Season Debut
Athletics starting pitching prospect Gage Jump enjoyed a strong professional debut last summer and should be in the mix to join the MLB roster by the 2026 All-Star break.

Athletics starting pitching prospect Gage Jump enjoyed a strong professional debut last summer and should be in the mix to join the MLB roster by the 2026 All-Star break. Jump joined the Athletics with the 73rd overall selection out of LSU in the 2024 MLB Draft. The left-hander enters the 2026 season as MLB.com's No. 60 overall prospect and the No. 3-ranked prospect on the team. He made his MiLB debut at High-A in 2025 and needed only 31 innings of work before he was cleared to reach Double-A. At High-A, Jump posted a 2.32 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, with a 45:5 K:BB. At Double-A, Jump took a bit of a step back but still carried a solid 3.64 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP. During this 81 2/3-inning stint, the southpaw struck out 86 batters but saw his walk rate jump from a low 4.1% to a much-higher 8.5%. While his strikeout production decreased, Jump was able to raise his ground-ball rate by nearly 11 points (33.8% - 44.2%). However, he had most of his struggles in the final weeks, surrendering 21 runs (20 earned) over his last 13 1/3 innings. Prior to this rough finish, Jump held a much stronger 1.74 ERA at Double-A. Fantasy managers should expect Jump to benign 2026 back at Double-A, but he may only need brief seasoning before he is cleared to join Triple-A Las Vegas. If he can increase his durability, Jump should be in the mix to join a weak Athletics rotation in the second half. Given his projected timeline, managers should only look to stash the young left-hander in deeper 15-team AL-only leagues at his current 699.5 ADP on NFBC drafts. However, a hot start at Double-A could put him on the stash radar in standard 12-team leagues in the opening months.less...
