J.T. Ginn Earns Win in Season Debut Against Mets

J.T. Ginn, recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas, made a strong impression in his season debut for the Athletics against the New York Mets, pitching 5.1 innings while allowing only one run on four hits and striking out six batters. He successfully navigated several challenging situations before giving up a solo home run to Brandon Nimmo in the sixth inning. This performance marks Ginn's seventh major-league start and comes after a solid minor league stint, where he posted a 1.64 ERA with a 19:2 K:BB ratio. The Athletics' manager, Mark Kotsay, noted that Ginn would take the place of Joey Estes in the rotation, who was sent back to the minors following a poor outing. Looking ahead, Ginn is expected to start against the Milwaukee Brewers next week, making him a potential low-end streaming option for fantasy baseball players. Overall, Ginn's debut indicates promise for the young right-hander as he establishes himself in the majors.
