Gunnar Hoglund Placed on Injured List with Lumbar Spine Strain

Gunnar Hoglund was diagnosed with a lumbar spine strain and placed on the injured list by the Oakland Athletics.

The right-hander struggled in his 2024 MLB debut, posting a 6.40 ERA across 32 1/3 innings during six starts in May 2024. Hoglund later went down with a left hip labrum injury that required season-ending surgery.

Hoglund is a former first-round pick of the Blue Jays whom the Athletics acquired in the 2022 Matt Chapman trade. The Athletics called him up and gave him six turns through the rotation in May 2024 before the hip injury ended his season.
