Tue Feb 1320:50Stephen Piscotty Returns To A's
The Oakland Athletics signed free-agent outfielder Stephen Piscotty to a minor-league deal that includes an invitation to major-league spring training. Piscotty played in Oakland from 2018-22 after spending the first three years of his major-league career with the St. Louis Cardinals. The 33-year-old veteran didn't appear at all in the majors in 2023. He's been in decline since 2018, and even though the A's are one of the worst teams in baseball, it might be a long shot for Piscotty to make the Opening Day roster out of spring training. In 51 games at Triple-A Charlotte in the White Sox's organization last year, Piscotty hit just .232/.330/.390 with six home runs, 32 RBI and 27 runs scored in 206 plate appearances. If he returns to the big leagues in 2024, it will be as a bench bat for the A's.

Tue Jul 12 202207:59Stephen Piscotty Day-To-Day With Wrist Injury
Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty (wrist) was removed from Monday's game against the Texas Rangers. He was hit in his left wrist by a pitch from Garrett Richards. He underwent X-rays after the incident and the X-rays showed no fracture. Athletics manager Mark Kotsay labeled the injury as a forearm contusion and said that Piscotty is day-to-day for now. Injuries have held the 31-year-old to just 25 games this season. Over those 25 games, he's slashed .197/.279/.303 with two home runs, two stolen bases, seven RBI and seven runs.

Mon Jun 27 202218:38Stephen Piscotty To Meet Team On The Road Tuesday
Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty (calf) will be joining the team in New York on Tuesday. The A's are slated for a three-game series against the Yankees beginning on Monday. Once Piscotty joins the team, it will be determined when he will be activated from the injured list. There's a chance he'll be activated on Tuesday, but he may need another day or so. Piscotty has been out with a left calf strain since early May. The 31-year-old only managed to appear in 14 games this year before sustaining the injury. Over those 14 games, he slashed .225/.340/.325 with one home run, two stolen bases, three RBI and four runs.

Sat May 7 202218:45Stephen Piscotty Headed To Injured List
Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty (calf) will be going on the injured list, according to manager Mark Kotsay. He was forced to exit Friday's game due to calf tightness. An MRI revealed a Grade 1 calf strain, so Piscotty is going to miss some time. The 31-year-old has struggled at the plate this season, so maybe a little time off will help him. He's hitting .225/.340/.325 with one home run, so he can probably be cut on most fantasy rosters who don't have an available IR spot.

Fri Apr 15 202214:40Stephen Piscotty Goes On COVID-19 List
The Oakland Athletics placed outfielder Stephen Piscotty on the COVID-19 list on Friday and also placed A.J. Puk, Kirby Snead and Austin Allen on the restricted list. Catcher Christian Bethancourt, infielder Drew Jackson, right-hander Ryan Castellani and left-hander Zach Logue have been called up. It's unclear whether Piscotty has tested positive for the virus. The 31-year-old is 4-for-14 with one RBI, one steal and one run scored in his first 17 plate appearances over the first five games of the season. Until he clears the league's protocols, Chad Pinder and ... [More]

Thu Aug 26 202120:39Stephen Piscotty To Have Wrist Surgery Friday
Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty (wrist) is scheduled to undergo wrist surgery on Friday morning. Piscotty was sidelined with a left wrist sprain earlier this season and never fully recovered from it, so he'll go back on the shelf for the rest of the 2021 season. The 30-year-old from Stanford went back on the injured list last Saturday and hasn't done much for the A's or fantasy managers, slashing a meager .220/.282/.353 with only five home runs, one stolen base and 16 RBI in 72 games this season. Piscotty should no longer be rostered in any fantasy format and won't be much of an option heading into next season, even in the deepest of leagues.

Sat Aug 21 202116:51Stephen Piscotty Could Be Facing Surgery
Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty (wrist) could be facing surgery to fix a wrist issue that has been plaguing him all season long, according to Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. Piscotty was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier in the day on Saturday with a sprained left wrist, as he has struggled at the plate all year long by slashing .220/.282/.353 with five homers, one steal, 16 RBI and 14 runs scored over 72 games. Even without the potential for surgery, there's no reason managers should be rostering Piscotty at this point in the season.

Sat Aug 21 202112:46Stephen Piscotty Placed On IL With Sprained Wrist
Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a sprained left wrist, according to Shayna Rubin of the Mercury News. To replace him on the roster, the Athletics have recalled outfielder Seth Brown from Triple-A Las Vegas. Over 72 games this year, Piscotty is slashing .220/.282/.353 with five homers, one steal, 16 RBI and 14 runs scored. There really isn't any value to be found here even in deeper formats, so he can be left on the waiver wire in all formats.

Sun Jul 25 202122:53Red Sox score 5 runs in 8th inning, rally past Yankees 5-4
BOSTON (AP) — Held hitless into the eighth inning by Domingo Germán and looking feeble, Alex Verdugo and the Boston Red Sox suddenly erupted for five runs and stormed past the New York Yankees 5-4 Sunday. Verdugo opened the eighth with a long double for Boston’s first hit. Later, Kiké Hernández slid home headfirst on Xander Bogaerts’ sacrifice fly with the go-ahead run to cap the rally. The Red Sox won for the 10th time in 13 games against the Yankees and reclaimed first place in the AL East, a game ahead of Tampa Bay. New York fell nine games behind Boston. Boston trailed 4-0 when Verdugo doubled to deep right, and Germán was lifted after the hit. Jonathan Loaisiga (7-4) relieved, and Boston broke loose with four straight hits. Hunter Renfroe had an RBI double, Christian Vázquez singled home a run and Hernández followed with an RBI double, cutting it to 4-3. Zack Britton relieved and pinch-hitter Kevin Plawecki’s groundout plated the tying run. Hernández hustled hard and beat right fielder... [More]

Sun Jul 11 202102:09Acuña needs season-ending surgery; Braves beat Marlins 5-4
MIAMI (AP) — Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. will have season-ending surgery to repair a completely torn ACL in his right knee after he was injured during Atlanta’s 5-4 win over the Miami Marlins on Saturday. An MRI showed the severity of the injury and the Braves made the announcement shortly before midnight that their three-time All-Star will be out until at least next year. Acuña landed awkwardly on his right leg after jumping on the warning track in right field to try to catch a drive from Jazz Chisholm Jr. in the fifth inning. The 23-year-old slammed into the outfield wall and crumbled on the warning track, immediately grabbing his right knee while Chisholm sprinted out an inside-the-park homer. The 23-year-old Acuña did not put any weight on his right leg and had to be helped to a cart before being taken from the field. Freddie Freeman had a two-run homer and an RBI single, while Dansby Swanson and Austin Riley ripped doubles as the first three Braves reached base off All-Star pitcher... [More]

SEATTLE (AP) — Jarred Kelenic hit a two-run homer for his first major league hit and tacked on two doubles, leading the Seattle Mariners to a 7-3 win over the Cleveland Indians on Friday night. After going hitless in his big league debut Thursday, Kelenic brought the crowd to its feet with a drive to right-center against Aaron Civale in the third inning. The ball was clocked at 109.3 mph off the bat and Kelenic’s sprint around the bases seemed just as fast. Kyle Seager and Mitch Haniger also connected for Seattle. Chris Flexen (4-1) allowed one run in 5 2/3 innings, and Rafael Montero recorded the final out for his fifth save. Josh Naylor hit a two-run homer in the ninth for Cleveland.

Sat May 15 202100:38Judge homers twice as banged-up Yankees top Orioles 5-4
BALTIMORE (AP) — Aaron Judge went deep twice and Gio Urshela delivered a key pinch-hit shot, leading the banged-up New York Yankees to a 5-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night. Judge is now 10 for 19 with five homers against the Orioles this season. He has 13 career multihomer games, five of them against Baltimore. Urshela is still hampered by a left knee injury but was available off the bench in the seventh. After Miguel Andújar singled and Kyle Higashioka walked, Urshela hit the second pinch-hit homer of his career off Travis Lakins (1-4) to erase a 4-2 deficit. The Yankees were missing several key players, including shortstop Gleyber Torres (COVID-19), center fielder Aaron Hicks (left wrist) and slugger Giancarlo Stanton, who was a late scratch with left quad tightness. Yankees starter Corey Kluber (3-2) allowed four runs over six innings. Jonathan Loáisiga picked up his second save. RAYS 3, METS 2 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
