Player Outlook
Brent Rooker went from being designated for assignment by the Royals in November of 2022 to becoming a bona fide breakout slugger for the Athletics in 2023. He was one of only 29 major leaguers to reach the 30-homer plateau and he posted the 14th-highest OPS (.817) among all qualified American League hitters. Rooker strikes out often and is probably never going to be a good source for batting average, but his power stroke sure appears to be a bankable asset. He finished in the 93rd percentile last year in barrel percentage and was in the 91st percentile in hard-hit rate. The 29-year-old is going to have to make a lot of noise on his own as part of a mostly punchless Oakland offense, but that poor supporting cast at least assures him everyday at-bats in a fruitful lineup spot.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: On base three times in loss

    Rotowire
    Rooker went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and two runs in a loss to the Marlins on Sunday. A day after slugging two home runs in the same inning, Rooker laced the only extra-base hit of the afternoon for the Athletics. Rooker's multi-hit effort was his second straight and third in the last eight games, pushing his slash line over the entirety of that span to a spectacular .407/.500/.852 across 32 plate appearances.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Homers twice in third inning

    Rotowire
    Rooker went 3-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Saturday's 20-4 victory over the Marlins. HE became the first Athletics player to homer twice in the same inning since Mark McGwire did it in September of 1996. Rooker did it during Oakland's 10-run third inning Saturday, taking starter Trevor Rogers deep with a two-run shot and then reliever Darren McCaughan over the boards with a three-run blast. He also added a single and a walk. Rooker is up to eight home runs on the season even after going on the injured list last month. Of course, he's also hitting just .240 and striking out at a 36.5 percent rate, but fantasy managers knew what they were getting into with Rooker and should be satisfied with the returns 22 games in.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Goes deep in win

    Rotowire
    Rooker went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Friday's win over the Marlins. Rooker opened the scoring Friday night, crushing a titanic 440-foot homer off Ryan Weathers in the fourth inning to give Oakland the lead. Despite sporting a .211 batting average, the Athletics designated hitter has provided plenty of power with six homers while slugging .507. Rooker may be heating up along with the spring weather, as he's hit .269 (7-for-26) with two homers and eight RBI over his last eight games.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Moves to bench Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Rooker is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates. Rooker will get a day off after he started in each of the Athletics' last 11 games since being reinstated from the 10-day injured list April 19. With Rooker getting a breather Wednesday, Shea Langeliers will get a day off behind the plate and will serve as Oakland's designated hitter.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Accounts for team's offense in loss

    Rotowire
    Rooker went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and two walks in a loss to the Yankees on Wednesday. The veteran uncorked a 418-foot shot to left field off Clarke Schmidt in the sixth inning for the Athletics' only runs of the day. The homer was Rooker's third in the last six games; however, as impressive as that power surge is, the trio of long balls are the only hits he's generated over the 22 plate appearances he's logged in that span, and his stellar .532 slugging percentage is offset by a .191 average and .283 on-base percentage.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Goes yard again

    Rotowire
    Rooker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Guardians. Rooker homered for the second time in three games since returning from the 10-day IL due to a rib injury. He's swatted four home runs this season -- each coming in his last six games. On the year, Rooker is slashing .205/.244/.538 with a 51.2 percent strikeout rate.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Activated from injured list

    Rotowire
    Rooker (ribs) was activated from the 10-day injured list by the Athletics on Friday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Rooker wound up missing just the minimum 10 days while dealing with an injury to his ribcage area. The 29-year-old has popped a couple home runs in the early going this season but has just a .659 OPS and 16:1 K:BB across 31 plate appearances. Rooker is not in Friday's lineup at Cleveland in his first game back from the IL.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Heads to injured list

    Rotowire
    Rooker was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Athletics on Thursday with a costochondral cartilage injury. Rooker had to depart Sunday's' game versus the Tigers with the injury and didn't make enough improvement in subsequent days to avoid the IL. He'll be eligible to return next week but it's not clear at this point whether he might be ready by then.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Remains on bench Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Rooker (abdomen) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers. Rooker will remain on the bench for the second game in a row since exiting Sunday's 7-1 win over Detroit with abdominal soreness. The Athletics continue to view Rooker as day-to-day, but a stint on the injured list could grow more likely if he isn't able to re-enter the lineup by the weekend.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Cranks first homer

    Rotowire
    Rooker went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Tigers. Rooker got Oakland on the board with two outs in the sixth inning, launching a two-run homer off Tarik Skubal to cut the Tigers' lead to 3-2. It's the first home run of the season for Rooker after he broke out with 30 long balls in 2023. After going 0-for-11 in his first three games this year, Rooker now has four hits in his last three games. While the 29-year-old offers impressive power, making consistent contact is still an issue for him -- he's struck out 14 times against just one walk in 25 plate appearances.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Not starting again

    Rotowire
    Rooker is not in the lineup Sunday against the Guardians. Rooker started Opening Day and Saturday as the designated hitter, but he did not start Friday. In his first nine plate appearances, the 29-year-old has a walk and no hits. Seth Brown is the designated hitter Sunday, with Esteury Ruiz starting in left field.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Blasts three-run homer Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Rooker went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and an additional run in a Cactus League tie with the Rangers on Tuesday. The taste of offensive success, which was highlighted by a sixth-inning homer with Zack Gelof and JJ Bleday aboard, was a much-needed respite from Rooker's spring struggles. The 29-year-old's round tripper was his first since Feb. 27, and he now has back-to-back two-hit efforts after a 2-for-21 funk that had encompassed his previous eight games.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Bat starting to come around

    Rotowire
    Rooker went 1-for-3 with a run in a Cactus League win over the Angels on Wednesday. The Athletics' primary designated hitter was 0-for-4 through his first two spring games, but he's bounced back to go 4-for-15 with a home run, two RBI, a walk, a stolen base and four runs over his subsequent five exhibitions. Rooker broke out with an out-of-nowhere 30-homer tally in 2023 while playing a career-high 137 games, although a 32.7 percent strikeout rate he'll be looking to significantly shave down this season helped cap his adequate .246 average and encouraging .329 on-base percentage from being even better.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Homers in 2023 finale

    Rotowire
    Rooker went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Angels. Rooker capped off his 2023 campaign on a strong note by going perfect at the plate and hitting his 30th home run of the season. The 28-year-old began the year as one of the hottest hitters in baseball before having a brutal hitting stretch during May and June. He maintained more of a steady approach after the All-Star break, slashing .246/.313/.403 with 14 homers, 25 RBI, 29 runs and a 16:80 BB:K in 223 plate appearances. Rooker was one of the few bright spots for a struggling A's team and could be a trade piece for them in the offseason.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Productive in Wednesday's loss

    Rotowire
    Rooker went 1-for-4 with a two-run single and a stolen base in a loss to the Twins on Wednesday. Rooker made good use of the one at-bat he hit safely in, plating Ryan Noda and Aledmys Diaz to snap a 2-2 tie in the fifth inning. The slugger also added to his career-best stolen-base total with his fourth pilfer of the campaign after not having logged a single steal attempt over his previous three major league seasons. Rooker has also now reached safely in nine straight games and 10 consecutive starts, producing a .314/.368/.743 slash line in the 38 plate appearances he's recorded over the latter span.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Launches 27th homer Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Rooker went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Mariners on Wednesday. Rooker was one of the few bright spots for Oakland's bats, hitting the second of two Athletics homers off George Kirby when he launched a 410-foot shot with Seth Brown aboard in the sixth. The rookie has now left the yard in four of his last seven games, a welcome power surge that's helped him push his season-long OPS over the .800 mark (.801).

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Not starting Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Rooker isn't in the Athletics' lineup Tuesday against Seattle.

Tyler Soderstrom will fill in as Oakland's DH while Tony Kemp, Esteury Ruiz and Seth Brown start in the outfield.

  • Athletics' Brent Rooker: Provides only run with homer

    Rotowire
    Rooker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Padres. The Athletics only managed six total hits on the day and Rooker accounted for two of them including their only extra-base hit of the day with an eighth-inning solo home run. The long ball was his third over the last five games and his 26th of the year, as he continues to be one of the rare sources of power in the A's lineup. For the year, the first-time All-Star is slashing .241/.324/.797 with 60 RBI, 55 runs and a 45:126 BB:K in 481 plate appearances.

    Rotowire
    Rooker isn't in the Athletics' lineup Tuesday against the Blue Jays. Rooker will sit down Tuesday after starting September 3-for-14 with a homer, two RBI and three runs scored over four games. Rooker's absence will allow Tyler Soderstrom to serve as Oakland's DH and bat seventh.
