Rooker Out, A's Struggle Without Power | Oakland Athletics News
Description
The Athletics face a tough stretch without power hitter Brent Rooker, sidelined by knee surgery but expected back at full strength in 2027. His absence is a major blow, as he’s been a consistent home run machine and clubhouse leader since joining the team in 2022. With Rooker on the 60-day IL, the A’s are making roster moves to fill the void, including DFAing pitcher Aaron Civale and calling up infielder Tommy White. Despite the current struggles, Rooker’s return is seen as a vital boost for this young squad.
