Athletics Pitcher Gunnar Hoglund Undergoes Hip Surgery, Likely to Miss Rest of Season

Athletics rookie Gunnar Hoglund is likely to miss the rest of the 2025 season after undergoing hip surgery in Colorado on Friday, per an announcement from Klutch Sports agent Nate Heisler.

The 25-year-old right-handed pitcher made his MLB debut on May 2, going on to start six games for the A's. In that limited action, Hoglund went 1-3 with a 6.40 ERA, 1.515 WHIP, 6.4 strikeouts per nine innings and a -0.1 WAR.

Those numbers were inflated by Hoglund's final start against the Toronto Blue Jays on May 31. He gave up 10 hits, two walks, four homers and eight earned runs in 6.0 innings before hitting the 15-day injured list with a left hip impingement.

Hoglund is ranked as the No. 6 pitcher and No. 14 overall prospect in the Athletics' farm system.

The Blue Jays selected Hoglund in the first round of the 2021 MLB Draft. He and three other prospects were traded to the A's in March 2022 in exchange for All-Star third baseman Matt Chapman.
