Athletics' T.J. McFarland: Placed on injured list
The Athletics placed McFarland on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left adductor strain, retroactive to Monday.
McFarland was pulled from his appearance against the Yankees on Sunday due to his injury and will now be forced to miss at least another two weeks. He'll be replaced in the Athletics' bullpen by Michel Otanez (shoulder), who was reinstated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Athletics' T.J. McFarland: Getting MRI on Monday
McFarland (groin) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday, MLB.com reports.
McFarland sustained a left groin injury while covering first base on an Austin Wells groundout in Sunday's 12-2 loss to the Yankees. The MRI should shed light on the extent of the groin issue and will likely determine whether McFarland requires a stint on the injured list. The veteran southpaw reliever has notched five holds and has turned in a 5.23 ERA and 1.74 WHIP over 18 appearances with the Athletics this season.

Athletics' T.J. McFarland: Exits early with groin injury
McFarland exited Sunday's 12-2 loss to the Yankees in the top of the eighth inning due to a left groin injury, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
McFarland suffered the groin injury while covering first base on a groundout by Austin Wells. Wells was the only batter McFarland faced before exiting the contest. The Athletics are likely to send McFarland in for more tests Monday before determining whether his groin issue is significant enough to force him to the injured list.

Athletics' T.J. McFarland: In setup mix
McFarland threw two-thirds of an inning with no hits or walks Thursday against the Mariners.
McFarland entered the game in the eighth inning after Jose Leclerc gave up two home runs and blew a one-run lead. McFarland put up a 3.81 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over 56.2 innings last year and tallied 19 holds. He could be a primary setup man for the A's alongside Leclerc, at least until Michel Otanez returns from a shoulder injury and is added to the mix.

Athletics' T.J. McFarland: Back in Green and Gold
McFarland signed a one-year contract with the Athletics on Thursday.
McFarland put up a 3.81 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over 56.2 innings last year and tallied 19 holds while pitching in high-leverage situations fairly often. He's likely to retain a similar role in his second year with the A's, though opportunities for saves will be limited as long as Mason Miller is still on the team.

Athletics' T.J. McFarland: Hit with third loss Thursday
McFarland (2-3) took the loss against the Astros on Thursday, allowing two earned runs on two hits over one-third of an inning. He did not walk or strike out a batter.
McFarland took the mound in a 2-2 tie after Mitch Spence's seven-inning quality start, but the veteran southpaw allowed back-to-back singles with one out and saw both runners cross the plate after he got the hook. McFarland last allowed an earned run Aug. 28, and despite Thursday's stumble, he carries a 3.78 ERA and 1.22 WHIP across a career-high 72 appearances (52.1 innings).

Athletics' T.J. McFarland: Falters, takes second loss
McFarland (2-2) took the loss and a blown save against the Tigers on Saturday, allowing two unearned runs on a hit and a walk over one-third of an inning.
McFarland authored a messy start to a seventh-inning stint that started with the Athletics up 1-0, allowing a single and a walk to two of the first three batters he faced. Both would eventually come around to score, although McFarland was on the mound only for the first run, and a throwing error by Zack Gelof on the leadoff hit also kept both runs unearned. McFarland had last qualified for a decision -- a victory in that instance -- back on Aug. 7, and he still holds a 1.29 ERA and 1.00 WHIP over the 14 innings he's pitched in the second half of the season.

Athletics' T.J. McFarland: Nabs second win Wednesday
McFarland (2-1) got the win against the White Sox on Wednesday, firing a scoreless seventh inning during which he allowed a hit and recorded a strikeout.
McFarland was particularly sharp during his one frame, locating nine of 11 pitches for strikes and comfortably navigating around the infield single he allowed. The veteran left-hander was then the beneficiary of Oakland's three-run rally in the bottom of the seventh, which put McFarland in line for his first win since April 28. The scoreless appearance was also the fifth consecutive for McFarland, who boasts Wednesday's win, two holds and a 1.59 ERA over his last eight trips to the mound overall.

Athletics' T.J. McFarland: Takes first loss Sunday
McFarland (1-1) took the loss against the Diamondbacks on Sunday, allowing three earned runs on a hit, a hit batsman and a walk over one-third of an inning.
McFarland's outing was about as messy as his final line implies, with the left-hander immediately working himself into trouble upon entering in the seventh inning with the game knotted at 1-1. McFarland hit Randal Grichuk to open the frame and subsequently yielded a double to Corbin Carroll and intentionally walked Ketel Marte before exiting. Austin Adams would allow all three inherited runners to score, saddling McFarland with the first runs on his ledger since June 6. Despite the stumble, McFarland was impressive throughout most of June, putting together nine consecutive scoreless appearances (6.1 innings) with three holds prior to Sunday.

Athletics' T.J. McFarland: Gets ninth hold Wednesday
McFarland recorded his ninth hold in a win over the Royals on Wednesday, retiring the only batter he faced.
McFarland closed out the sixth inning for Luis Medina by retiring Adam Frazier on a flyout to left that left Nick Loftin stranded at first base. The veteran southpaw reliever has been outstanding since early May, recording a 1.17 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and four holds across 15.1 innings over his last 18 appearances. However, the fact he's typically used in middle relief usually limits McFarland to the occasional hold opportunity and leaves him with minimal fantasy appeal.

Athletics' T.J. McFarland: Secures first win Sunday
McFarland (1-0) got the win against the Orioles on Sunday, firing a perfect eighth inning during which he recorded two strikeouts.
McFarland's dominant eighth frame saw him locate eight of 10 pitches for strikes, a particularly impressive display of efficiency. The veteran southpaw has had a couple of stumbles overall, but McFarland has mostly been a reliable bullpen workhorse for manager Mark Kotsay. Factoring in Sunday's appearance, he's already logged 11.1 innings across 16 appearances, posting a 3.97 ERA and recording four holds in addition to his one victory.

Athletics' T.J. McFarland: Acquired by Oakland
The Athletics acquired McFarland from the Dodgers on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations and selected his contract from Triple-A Las Vegas.
It's quite the team downgrade for McFarland, but he'll likely take it since he gets to join a major-league roster. The veteran reliever made just three appearances at the big-league level in 2023, allowing one earned run over 1.2 innings with the Mets.

Dodgers' T.J. McFarland: Receives NRI from Dodgers
McFarland signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Friday that includes an invitation to spring training, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
McFarland, 34, spent the bulk of last season in the minors but did get into three games with the Mets. The veteran left-hander will compete for a spot in the Dodgers' Opening Day bullpen but will probably begin the year at Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Orioles' T.J. McFarland: Joins Orioles on minors deal
McFarland signed a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Saturday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
The veteran lefty spent the first four years of his big-league career (2013-16) in Baltimore, recording a 4.27 ERA and 1.55 WHIP. Over the last two seasons, he owns a 6.55 ERA at the MLB level, throwing 32.2 frames for the Cardinals last year and just 1.2 for the Mets this season.

Mets' T.J. McFarland: Outrighted to Triple-A
McFarland cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.
McFarland is no longer on the Mets' 40-man roster but it appears he will remain in the organization. The veteran left-hander has posted a 5.40 ERA over three relief appearances at the big-league level in 2023.

Mets' T.J. McFarland: Designated for assignment
The Mets designated McFarland for assignment Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
With Jose Quintana returning from the 60-day injured list, McFarland will be cut loose to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. The 34-year-old lefty pitched just 1.2 innings during his time in New York, allowing one run and striking out two batters. He's been solid in Triple-A, so it's possible another team will claim McFarland off waivers.

Mets' T.J. McFarland: Selected to MLB bullpen
The Mets selected McFarland's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
McFarland will get his first look in the majors this year after working to a 2.76 ERA with 37 strikeouts through 32.2 innings of relief at Syracuse. Josh Walker has been optioned out in a corresponding roster move.

Mets' T.J. McFarland: Sent to minor-league camp
The Mets reassigned McFarland to minor-league camp Sunday.
The veteran left-hander signed with New York as a non-roster invitee in January but struggled during spring training with six runs allowed over eight innings. McFarland appeared in 28 games for the Cardinals last season and pitched similarly poorly with a 6.61 ERA and 16:11 K:BB in 32.2 frames.

Mets' T.J. McFarland: Lands deal with Mets
McFarland signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Tuesday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.
It's unclear whether McFarland has been given an invitation to big-league camp, but it would stand to reason that he probably has. The left-hander stumbled with the Cardinals in 2022, posting an ugly 6.61 ERA across 28 appearances.

Cardinals' T.J. McFarland: Re-ups with Cards
McFarland re-signed Tuesday with the Cardinals on a minor-league contract.
McFarland and the Cardinals parted ways Aug. 15 when he was booted off the 40-man roster, but after assessing his options in free agency, the veteran southpaw chose to stick around in the organization. He'll report to Triple-A Memphis and could get a late-season call-up if the Cardinals have a need for a lefty reliever down the stretch.
