Placed on 10-day IL
The Athletics placed Rooker on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Tuesday, due to a bone bruise in his left knee.
Análise
Rooker was out of the Athletics' lineup both Tuesday and Wednesday against the Brewers while tending to a left knee issue. The injury is severe enough for him to warrant a stint on the IL, though it's unclear whether he's facing a stint longer than the minimum. With Rooker sidelined, Shea Langeliers, Jonah Heim and Carlos Cortes are all candidates to see more reps as the team's designated hitter. Jacob Wilson (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move.

Sitting with knee soreness
Rooker won't play in Wednesday's game against the Brewers due to knee soreness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Análise
Manager Mark Kotsay said the team will wait to see how Rooker feels leading up to Friday's game against the Rockies before deciding whether he needs to spend time on the injured list. Carlos Cortes will work as the Athletics' designated hitter Wednesday while Lawrence Butler starts in right field, and that could be the defensive alignment the team uses if Rooker has to miss more time.

Análise
Rooker has slashed .243/.300/.541 with three homers and eight runs scored across his last 10 games, but the A's will now have him begin on the bench for a second consecutive game. Carlos Cortes will move into the DH spot as a result, opening up right field for Lawrence Butler.

Getting rest Tuesday
Rooker isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.
Análise
Rooker has posted an .816 OPS through 27 plate appearances since the start of June, but the A's will give him a chance to regroup after he finished Monday's contest 0-for-5 with a walk and three strikeouts. Shea Langeliers will move into the DH spot with Rooker on the bench, allowing Jonah Heim to pick up a start behind the dish.

Clubs 10th homer

Análise
Rooker picked up a pair of impactful extra-base hits, lining an RBI double in the third inning before launching a solo homer in the fifth frame. June has gotten off to a solid start for the 31-year-old, who has gone 6-for-20 (.300) with two homers across six appearances.

Goes yard in return to lineup
Rooker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Astros.
Análise
Rooker delivered the Athletics' lone run, launching a loud solo homer over the left-field wall in the sixth inning. The 31-year-old was out of Thursday's lineup against the Cubs due to knee soreness, though he was called upon to pinch hit in that contest, and his quick return to the lineup Friday suggests the injury is not a significant concern. It has been a challenging season to date for Rooker, as he's hitting .196 with a .650 OPS, nine homers, 27 RBI, 17 runs and two stolen bases across 45 games.
