A's Acquire Roycroft, Wilson Out | MLB News

Oakland Athletics snag a waiver pickup in Chris Roycroft, a 29-year-old righty with a high ERA but promising underlying stats, as they make room for him by placing Jacob Wilson on the 60-day IL — effectively ending his 2026 season. Roycroft, who’s bounced around from Cardinals to Rays before landing here, thrives on ground balls thanks to his mid-90s sinker and cutter mix, though his K% and BB% aren’t elite. With the A’s pitching staff sporting the league’s second-worst ERA, this move could be a bullpen lifeline — or a Triple-A stint if needed.
