J.T. Ginn

The 26-year-old hurler also issued three free passes while striking out three opposing hitters in the ballgame. Ginn entered the start already facing an uphill battle at securing a spot in the A's Opening Day rotation and he didn't help his cause in this one. All of the damage was done during the second inning as Willie MacIver delivered a bases-clearing double and then came around to score. Ginn got just four whiffs on 61 pitches on the afternoon, posting a CSW of 26 percent. For the spring, he holds an uninspiring 6.17 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and a 12/7 K/BB ratio over 11 2/3 innings in his four starts.

Langford reached on a single off of J.T. Ginn in the opening inning, but was cut down attempting to stretch it into a double. He then capped off the Rangers' six-run uprising in the second inning with a 424-foot (111.7 mph EV) three-run blast off of Ryan Magdic. The 24-year-old outfielder has been sizzling at the plate this spring, hitting .455 (10-for-22) with three homers, 10 RBI and a 3/2 K/BB ratio in 24 plate appearances.

He also labels Luis Morales a "rotation lock," with J.T. Ginn and Jack Perkins as longshot contenders for the fifth starter role. Lopez had a 4.08 ERA and a 113/37 K/BB ratio across 92 2/3 innings in 2025 and could be a streamable pitcher in the right matchups in 2026.

Ginn gave up seven hard-hit balls, two of which turned into homers, and he also walked a pair. It's a setback for his rotation hopes as he competes with Luis Morales and others.
