Gunnar Hoglund to Have Hip Surgery, Likely Out for the Season
Athletics rookie right-hander Gunnar Hoglund (hip) is having surgery on his hip on Friday in Colorado and is likely to miss the rest of the 2025 season, according to Klutch Sports' Nate Heisler. Hoglund is expected to make a full recovery for the 2026 campaign. The 25-year-old made his major-league debut with the A's this year but struggled in his first six starts, going (1-3) with a 6.40 ERA (6.70 FIP), 1.51 WHIP and 23;11 K:BB in 32 1/3 innings pitched. Per MLB Pipeline, Hoglund is ranked as the team's No. 14 prospect. It's unclear when exactly he'll be ready to go in 2026, but he should be in contention for a rotation spot when he's fully healthy. The 6-foot-4, 220-pounder was three years removed from Tommy John surgery this year, making his hip surgery that much more disappointing. Mitch Spence should have a shot to stick in the rotation in Sacramento now.
