Rooker will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a cartilage tear in his left knee, Jason Burke of Roundtable.io reports.
Analyse
Rooker was re-evaluated Tuesday after making slow progress in his recovery from a bone bruise in his left knee, which has been bothering him since early June. Test results revealed torn cartilage in the 31-year-old's knee, so he'll go under the knife to address the issue, putting an early end to his 2026 campaign. Jonah Heim has been getting regular starts at DH with Rooker on the IL and could now remain in that role for the rest of the year.

Undergoes re-evaluation Tuesday
Rooker was re-evaluated at Stanford for his knee injury Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Analyse
Rooker landed on the injured list June 12 due to a bone bruise in his left knee and has progressed slowly in his rehab, beginning a running and swinging progression Monday. "I wouldn't say that his progress has stopped," Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said Tuesday. "... it hasn't progressed as efficient as we'd like. So he's down there going through another exam." More clarity regarding Rooker's status and recovery timeline should come following the results of his latest evaluation.
