Mariners Moose Tracks highlights recent updates including player performances, injury reports, and league news, with a focus on players Josh Naylor, Alex Wood, and Kyle Karros, as well as ongoing team and league developments.
Alex Wood, a successful MLB pitcher who won a World Series with the Dodgers and was an All-Star, has announced his retirement after a 11-year career spanning five teams, ending at age 34 with over $60 million earned.
The Oakland Athletics are set to meet with the African American Sports & Entertainment Group to discuss selling their 50% stake in the Oakland Coliseum, potentially allowing for expansion franchises in the NFL and WNBA. The team has revamped its rotation by signing Alex Wood and acquiring Ross Stripling, while also considering Rule 5 Draft pick Mitch Spence for a roster spot. Wood expressed frustration with his previous team's handling of pitchers, and Spence is competing for a spot in the rotation or a long relief role.
The Oakland Athletics are navigating uncertainties surrounding their move to Las Vegas and their temporary home, impacting their roster-building strategy as they focus on one-year contracts for free agents. They recently signed Alex Wood to a one-year deal and acquired Ross Stripling in a trade with the Giants, both of whom will join the starting pitching rotation. The team also expressed interest in former Athletic Frankie Montas before he signed with the Reds. Additionally, pitcher Ken Waldichuk is recovering from injuries and is expected to start the season on the injured list, prompting the Athletics to continue seeking pitching options, particularly in the relief market.
The San Francisco Giants have drawn interest in their starting pitchers, with lefty Alex Wood being mentioned as a possible trade option. Wood, who is a free agent at the end of the season, has expressed a desire to start games rather than serve as a bulk option behind an opener. However, his performance this season has been underwhelming, with a 4.75 ERA and declining stats compared to previous years. The Giants also have other arms, such as Ross Stripling and Sean Manaea, who could be trade candidates. The recent injury to Anthony DeSclafani, coupled with his struggles, makes him an unlikely trade candidate.
The San Francisco Giants showcased their pitching prowess in a 3-0 shutout win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Ryan Walker and Alex Wood led a brilliant bullpen game, effectively balancing leverage and workload to keep the dangerous Blue Jays lineup in check. Wood bounced back from a rough start, striking out seven batters over five-plus innings with no walks. The Giants' high-leverage arms, including Tyler Rogers and Camilo Doval, secured the victory. Kevin Gausman also impressed, pitching six scoreless innings with 12 strikeouts. Thairo Estrada provided insurance runs with an RBI double in the ninth inning.
The San Francisco Giants have placed Wilmer Flores on the 10-day IL and John Brebbia on the 15-day IL, while activating Alex Wood and recalling Tristan Beck. Flores is suffering from a foot contusion, while Brebbia was diagnosed with a grade 2 lat strain that could keep him on the shelf for 4-8 weeks. The Giants seem well-equipped to weather the loss of Flores, while Brebbia's role on the roster figures to be more difficult to replace. Filling in for Brebbia in the bullpen is Beck, while Wood will attempt to stabilize San Francisco's rotation.
San Francisco Giants reliever John Brebbia has been placed on the injured list with a Grade 2 lat strain, likely to miss significant time. Brebbia has been a key member of the Giants' bullpen, with a 3.18 ERA this season and leading the National League in appearances last year. Meanwhile, Alex Wood is returning from the IL to start against his former team in Dodger Stadium. The Giants have only had three traditional starters for weeks, giving Brebbia ample opportunities in the opener role. The Giants' bullpen has performed better than any other since May 15, with a 1.68 ERA and 3.0 WAR.
The San Francisco Giants are a game away from winning their fifth straight road series and could pull within half a game of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the standings with a win. Lefty Alex Wood returns for the Giants after being reinstated from the Injured List, while the Dodgers' righty Bobby Miller faces the Giants for the first time. The Giants used all but one of their bullpen arms during Friday's game, so they will hope Wood can go deep into the game.
The San Francisco Giants have placed left-hander Alex Wood on the 15-day injured list due to a low back strain. Wood has struggled this season, posting a 6.30 ERA in 20 innings of work since returning from a hamstring injury. Right-hander Tristan Beck has been recalled from Triple-A to take Wood's spot on the roster. It is unclear who will start in Wood's place on Tuesday against the Rockies.
The San Francisco Giants defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 15-1, with a trio of homers from Mitch Haniger, Brett Wisely, and J.D. Davis. The Giants have won nine of their last 11 games and climbed above .500 for the first time this season. San Francisco's pitching staff has not allowed more than four runs in 12 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the Majors. The Giants stumbled out of the gate this season but have managed to turn it around by going 20-12 over 32 games since April 22.
The San Francisco Giants defeated the Miami Marlins 7-5 in a game that saw several firsts for the Giants, including Patrick Bailey's first home run and first error, Ryan Walker's first Major League appearance, and J.D. Davis' first home run against a left-handed pitcher this season. Alex Wood got called for his first balk as a Giant, and the game also featured the first pickle of the season. The Giants adjusted to Jesús Luzardo's slider and knocked him out of the game in the 6th inning. Casey Schmitt added insurance in the 8th, and the Giants secured the win.
The San Francisco Giants are considering changes to their starting rotation as Sean Manaea continues to struggle, with a 7.96 ERA through eight appearances. The team is listing "TBA" for all four games in their upcoming series against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and manager Gabe Kapler said they are continuing to have discussions about pitching plans. Lefty Kyle Harrison, who dominated in his last Triple-A start, could be a potential solution, while Alex Wood's return from injury could push either Manaea or Ross Stripling back to the bullpen.
The San Francisco Giants have placed left-hander Alex Wood on the 15-day injured list due to a left hamstring strain and recalled right-hander Tristan Beck to take his place on the roster. Wood was out to a nice start this season, currently sporting a 1.80 ERA through three outings. With Wood out, it’s possible that Ross Stripling gets another crack at a rotation job. It’s unclear how long Wood will be out of action, but his move to the IL opens a spot for Beck, who may make his major league debut in the near future.
