A's rotation shows promise for 2027 as pitching struggles continue in 2026

Summary

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 A's may decline Springs' club option for 2027, and a key question is whether Luis Severino will opt into his $22 million deal after an injury-plagued season. The future looks brighter with Ginn, Gage Jump, and recently-strong David Lopez potentially leading the rotation next year.
