## Resource

Brent Rooker’s season is officially over after knee surgery to fix cartilage damage — a surprising turn since he was just progressing earlier this week. The power hitter, sidelined since June with a bone bruise, now adds this to an oblique strain from April, cutting his 2024 slate to just 48 games and a performance far below his career norms. With Rooker out, Jonah Heim, Shea Langeliers, and Tyler Soderstrom will see more DH time. Despite the setback, the Athletics remain in playoff contention, just a few games back in the division and wild card race, wrapping up a series against the Dodgers before hosting the Marlins.
