Rooker Out for Season with Knee Surgery | Oakland Athletics News

Brent Rooker’s season is over after surgery on his left knee, a lingering issue that grew worse since early June despite conservative treatments. The Athletics’ manager calls it a major blow, as Rooker’s power hitting—30+ homers in recent years—will be hard to replace. Though sidelined, he’ll stay involved as a leader in the dugout during rehab. His current stats: .200 batting average, .281 OBP, 10 homers, 29 RBIs in 48 games. The team’s offense just lost a key bat—and a vital presence.
