Suarez, Jordan, and Bullpen Updates | Oakland Athletics News

José Suarez is inching back toward full health, throwing 20-22 pitches in live BP with a potential return as early as Friday—or possibly on a rehab assignment. Gage Jordan is nearing his innings total from last year, with recovery and readiness taking priority over workload; six to seven starts averaging six innings each would be ideal. Esteury Ruiz is showing encouraging signs at the plate, with a rising line drive rate signaling smart adjustments—and he’s getting plenty of at-bats to keep building. The bullpen is evolving, with Zach Blewitt stepping into bigger roles thanks to his pitch mix and MLB experience, complementing veterans Trevor May and Dany Jiménez. Meanwhile, Tommy White remains focused on contact and average, with power expected to follow as he gains professional seasoning.
