Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:57:15 GMT

A’s pitcher James Kaprielian took another positive step toward beginning the season in Oakland’s starting rotation with a solid spring training debut Sunday.Kaprielian, who had off-season AC shoulder joint surgery, started the A’s 8-6 split-squad win over the San Diego Padres and threw 1.2 scoreless innings, with all five of his outs coming on strikeouts. The 29-year-old right-hander gave up one hit and walked three while throwing 43 pitches during his one time through a Padres lineup full of backups at Hohokam Park in Mesa, Ariz.Kaprielian showed good velocity – his fastball was 94-96 mph and touched 97 – but his command was a bit off. His encouraging start came four days after a simulated game and showed he’s well on his way back to reclaiming a rotation spot he held for most of last season, when he went 5-9 with a 4.23 ERA in 26 starts. “I’m expecting to be ready to go for the start of the season,” Kaprielian told the San Francisco Chronicle’s Matt Kawahara Sund...
