## Resource

Brent Rooker’s 2024 season is over after a brutal knee injury sidelines him until 2027, adding to a long list of injuries plaguing the Athletics—including oblique and bone bruise setbacks. Despite hitting 10 homers and driving in 29 runs in just 42 games, his bat will be sorely missed as Jonah Heim steps in as the DH. With key players like Zack Gelog and Tyler Soderstrom also out, the A’s face mounting pressure during a four-game losing streak. Rooker, a Silver Slugger and two-time All-Star, remains under contract until 2031, giving the team time to rebuild around his absence.
