## Resource

The Athletics are scrambling to patch up their ailing rotation after Luis Severino goes on the IL with a strained shoulder, adding to woes already caused by Aaron Civale’s shoulder tendinitis. To fill the void, they’ve called up promising righty Kade Morris and veteran reliever Mason Barnett, both ready to contribute immediate length. Manager Mark Kotsay admits they’ve been relying heavily on the bullpen, but these new arms could be the difference-maker. Meanwhile, Gage Jump earned his first career win against the Cubs, showcasing his improving breaking balls, while Jacob Wilson inches closer to returning from shoulder rehab. With a grueling schedule ahead—including a Houston series—and no off day until June 11, the team’s pitching depth is under the microscope.
