Availability
Zhuang posted a 4.08 ERA and 1.28 WHIP with 145 strikeouts and 35 walks across 145.2 innings at Double-A Midland in 2025, playing the entire season at that level. Oakland added him to the 40-man roster over the winter.
Fantasy Impact
The Athletics optioned Zhuang to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday. The assignment represents a promotion to the Pacific Coast League to open the 2026 season.
The Athletics have Chen Zhong-Ao Zhuang (undisclosed) penciled in for their March 14 Spring Breakout game against Padres prospects, per team reports.
Fantasy Impact
Zhuang, 24, looks healthy for 2025 after an unspecified injury cut his 2024 short at Double-A Midland after Aug. 29—where he posted a crisp 2.05 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and 18:5 K:BB across 22 innings following a late July bump from High-A Lansing. His Spring Breakout nod signals a strong recovery. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues might stash this righty; his command and stuff tease upside, though he’s not a redraft pick yet.
