Fans seven in loss
Jump (6-10) allowed two runs on six hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over four innings to take the loss versus the Mariners on Sunday.
Analysis
Jump wasn't particularly efficient, needing 82 pitches (60 strikes) to get through his four frames. He's fallen short of the five-inning mark in four of his last seven outings, giving up 27 runs over 33.2 innings with a 38:20 K:BB in that span. The 23-year-old southpaw is at a 5.12 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 106:45 K:BB through 96.2 innings over 19 starts in the majors this year. He has totaled 134.2 innings between the majors and Triple-A in 2026, up from 111.2 frames between Double-A and High-A in 2025, so there may be some intent from the Athletics to keep his outings short. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home in a rematch with the Mariners.

Struggles in ninth loss
Jump (6-9) took the loss Monday, allowing seven runs on six hits and three walks over 4.1 innings against Texas. He struck out two.
Analysis
Jump worked a scoreless first inning but couldn't keep Texas off the board in any of the next four frames, departing at 91 pitches (53 strikes). The southpaw got off to a solid start in his big-league career but has hit a wall in the second half, compiling a 6.95 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 51:30 K:BB over 44 innings (nine starts) since the All-Star break. He'll take a 5.15 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 99:45 K:BB across 92.2 innings (18 starts) into his next outing, lined up for the weekend against Seattle.
