A's Put Brent Rooker On The Paternity List
3 months agoThe Oakland Athletics placed designated hitter Brent Rooker on the paternity list on Wednesday and recalled infielder Armando Alvarez from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. The club also outrighted left-hander Kyle Muller to Vegas after he cleared waivers. Rooker will most likely miss the final two games of the series in New York against the Mets, but he should be back at some point this weekend in Oakland to face the visiting San Francisco Giants. Miguel Andujar is serving as the A's DH on Wednesday and will bat second, while Darell Hernaiz is making another start at third base while batting eighth against Mets left-hander David Peterson. The 29-year-old Rooker has been Oakland's best hitter in 2024, slashing .293/.367/.583 with a .950 OPS, 29 homers, 83 RBI and seven steals in 105 games. Fantasy managers will be without him the next few days.
