Overview
- The Athletics said Dr. Marc Phillipon performed a hip labral repair and cartilage debridement on Hoglund’s right hip, and the pitcher is expected to recover in time for spring training.
- Hoglund was placed on the 15-day injured list June 2, retroactive to June 1, after experiencing hip impingement during his May 31 start.
- He made his major league debut May 2, allowing one run over six innings in a 6-1 win, and finished the season 1-3 with a 6.40 ERA in six starts.
- Oakland’s rotation now turns to young pitchers such as Jack Perkins and Luis Morales to fill the vacancy left by Hoglund’s absence.
- Rookie infielder Jacob Wilson has provided a bright spot at the plate, leading all first-year players in multiple offensive categories.
