The Oakland Athletics' pitching staff ranks 29th in MLB with a 5.48 ERA midway through August 2026. J.T. Ginn leads the rotation with a 3.60 ERA, while Jeffrey Springs and Jack Perkins struggle with ERAs above 6.00.

The future looks brighter with Ginn, Gage Jump, and recently-strong David Lopez potentially leading the rotation next year.
