Athletics' Brent Rooker: Accounts for team's offense in loss
Rooker went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and two walks in a loss to the Yankees on Wednesday.
The veteran uncorked a 418-foot shot to left field off Clarke Schmidt in the sixth inning for the Athletics' only runs of the day. The homer was Rooker's third in the last six games; however, as impressive as that power surge is, the trio of long balls are the only hits he's generated over the 22 plate appearances he's logged in that span, and his stellar .532 slugging percentage is offset by a .191 average and .283 on-base percentage.

Athletics' Brent Rooker: Homers in return
Rooker went 1-for-2 with a solo home run during Friday's loss to Cleveland.
Rooker didn't draw a start in his first game since returning from the injured list, but he entered as a pinch hitter for Lawrence Butler in the sixth inning and hit a solo shot in the ninth - his third long ball of the season. The 29-year-old slugger hasn't quite been able to replicate the production he enjoyed during his breakout 2023 campaign, though he remains one of the lone bright spots in a relatively weak Oakland lineup.

Rooker (ribs) started full body workouts Friday, the Associated Press reports.

Athletics' Brent Rooker: Remains on bench Wednesday
Rooker (abdomen) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
Rooker will remain on the bench for the second game in a row since exiting Sunday's 7-1 win over Detroit with abdominal soreness. The Athletics continue to view Rooker as day-to-day, but a stint on the injured list could grow more likely if he isn't able to re-enter the lineup by the weekend.

Athletics' Brent Rooker: Slugs second homer
Rooker went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Tigers.
The 29-year-old slugger took Kenta Maeda deep in the first inning for a two-run shot before driving in an insurance run with a single in the eighth. Rooker was streaky even in his breakout campaign last year, and his 2024 has already been a roller coaster -- after going 0-for-11 with nine strikeouts over his first three games, he's racked up three multi-hit performances in the last four with a double, two homers, five RBI and only five Ks.

Athletics' Brent Rooker: Cranks first homer
Rooker went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Tigers.
Rooker got Oakland on the board with two outs in the sixth inning, launching a two-run homer off Tarik Skubal to cut the Tigers' lead to 3-2. It's the first home run of the season for Rooker after he broke out with 30 long balls in 2023. After going 0-for-11 in his first three games this year, Rooker now has four hits in his last three games. While the 29-year-old offers impressive power, making consistent contact is still an issue for him -- he's struck out 14 times against just one walk in 25 plate appearances.

Athletics' Brent Rooker: Blasts three-run homer Tuesday
Rooker went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and an additional run in a Cactus League tie with the Rangers on Tuesday.
The taste of offensive success, which was highlighted by a sixth-inning homer with Zack Gelof and JJ Bleday aboard, was a much-needed respite from Rooker's spring struggles. The 29-year-old's round tripper was his first since Feb. 27, and he now has back-to-back two-hit efforts after a 2-for-21 funk that had encompassed his previous eight games.

Athletics' Brent Rooker: Bat starting to come around
Rooker went 1-for-3 with a run in a Cactus League win over the Angels on Wednesday.
The Athletics' primary designated hitter was 0-for-4 through his first two spring games, but he's bounced back to go 4-for-15 with a home run, two RBI, a walk, a stolen base and four runs over his subsequent five exhibitions. Rooker broke out with an out-of-nowhere 30-homer tally in 2023 while playing a career-high 137 games, although a 32.7 percent strikeout rate he'll be looking to significantly shave down this season helped cap his adequate .246 average and encouraging .329 on-base percentage from being even better.

Athletics' Brent Rooker: Homers in 2023 finale
Rooker went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Angels.
Rooker capped off his 2023 campaign on a strong note by going perfect at the plate and hitting his 30th home run of the season. The 28-year-old began the year as one of the hottest hitters in baseball before having a brutal hitting stretch during May and June. He maintained more of a steady approach after the All-Star break, slashing .246/.313/.403 with 14 homers, 25 RBI, 29 runs and a 16:80 BB:K in 223 plate appearances. Rooker was one of the few bright spots for a struggling A's team and could be a trade piece for them in the offseason.

Athletics' Brent Rooker: Productive in Wednesday's loss

The slugger also added to his career-best stolen-base total with his fourth pilfer of the campaign after not having logged a single steal attempt over his previous three major league seasons. Rooker has also now reached safely in nine straight games and 10 consecutive starts, producing a .314/.368/.743 slash line in the 38 plate appearances he's recorded over the latter span.

The rookie has now left the yard in four of his last seven games, a welcome power surge that's helped him push his season-long OPS over the .800 mark (.801).
