News
	Jacob Lopez allowed one hit and four walks while striking out four over five innings in Friday's 2-0 win over the Twins. Chris Schommer Sat, Jul 25th	Triston McKenzie has been reassigned to minor league camp by the San Diego Padres. David Leisering Sat, Mar 21st
	Jacob Lopez allowed two earned runs on two hits and two walks while striking out six over 4 1/3 innings in Sunday's loss to the Nationals. Chris Schommer Sun, Jul 19th	McKenzie carries a 5.46 ERA across 24 big-league appearances (20 starts) since 2023 into Padres camp as a non-roster invitee, but his arm has shown something new this spring. He gained weight over the offseason and pitched in winter ball for the first time, and his four-seamer is averaging 95.7 mph — up two full mph from last season. McKenzie has never touched 97 mph in a major-league game, but he topped that mark 10 times in his most recent Cactus League outing and peaked at 98.8 mph. He admitted having "no idea" where the extra velocity is coming from. Bruno Mulé Fri, Mar 13th
	Jacob Lopez will start for the Athletics on Sunday against the Nationals. Ari Koslow Thu, Jul 16th
	Jacob Lopez will open Friday's game for the Athletics against the White Sox. Ari Koslow Thu, Jul 9th
	The Athletics recalled LHP Jacob Lopez from Triple-A Las Vegas. Ari Koslow Tue, Jul 7th
