Joey Estes News: Back in majors

The Athletics recalled Estes from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Estes hasn't pitched in an MLB game since April 6, spending nearly all of the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Las Vegas. The 23-year-old has posted a 5.51 ERA and 67:20 K:BB across 17 appearances (15 starts) spanning 80 innings with Las Vegas. Though the Athletics will likely assign Estes to the bullpen initially, he could be a candidate to step into the rotation the next time a fifth starter is needed after Jack Perkins (shoulder) landed on the 15-day injured list Friday.
